Gastro help

For several months I have had consistent nausea, gas discomfort and night vomiting. I was initially told that there was nothing wrong, but I should quit coffee and cigarettes, then if I still had these symptoms to return to the doctor. Next vist, several weeks later, they decided to do an ultrasound. I was then told that it was amazing that I was doing to well because I had gall stones. I was given food restrictions and a med. No improvement noted. I was told I would be checked in a month. This didn't happen. Returning to the doctor several times, they did another ultrasound. This time they said I was fine. Just some polyps on my kidneys. Nothing to worry about. I continue with the original symptoms. Further complaints got me referred to gastroenterology. They say nothing is wrong but since I was upset, have scheduled me next month to look into my stomach with the camera. The only med I am on at this time is an anti-nausea pill. Obviously I am greatly concerned. I obviously have a problem that is not being seen. I am open to ideas please.

My son went through the same run around.  He developed chronic nausea, for what seems, no reason.  Gall Bladder was removed even though tests said he had no stones.  Surgery produced a diseased gall bladder and ten stones.  All tests subsequent report, normal, yet his nausea is now complicated with migraines.  No help or understanding from the medical community.  We are going to try alternative medicine such as acupuncture.  What else can we do?

Do you know the size of the gallstones? I am suprised they are not taking further action with them? I am pregnant and have them and know what you are going through. They are really cruel. I hope they find some sort of solution for you.
