Fullness, indegestion and nausea?

I have been having issues where I would eat, but generally feel full for long periods of time and eventually feel sick and only dry heave.  I have seen the doc who has told me I was backed up and that’s what was causing it.  But I was still feeling full even if I emptied my bowels.  Basically indigestion and nausea.  I have had several blood tests, xrays and even had a upper endoscopy that revealed some inflammation due to extra acid and a colonoscopy that all came back clear.  Wednesday im headed in for a HIDA test with a CCK for my gallbladder to check that out, but I cant see how that is causing anything as I have no pain.

The thing that helps about 95% of the time is lactulose solution that makes me pass gas and go to the bathroom.  Maybe my stomach is smaller now due to the near 40lbs iv lost since Jan?

can anyone tell me if you have had this and how/if you resolved this?

So im going to cut the dairy and see if that helps before the test

I would recommend you stop the Gatorade. It contains alot of sugar and that can cause bacterial build up, which can lead to inflammation.
When we have digestive issues we really need to keep track of what we're putting in our bodies and how our bodies react to those things.
How is your diet? Do you eat greasy foods, what about anything that contains gluten? Breads, baked goods and many other foods can contain gluten and some of us are sensitive to it.
Talk to your Dr about gluten and ask about testing to see if you're either allergic to it or sensitive to it.

Constipation can cause several problems so your Dr might be right. Also, using Lactose seems to help most of the time.
Yes, you can have gallbladder problems without pain. Have the HIDA scan to see if that's the problem.
How is your diet? Are you drinking plenty of water and getting a lot of fiber? Both can help with constipation.
