I am very nausea  all the time and vomiting about 30 mins after eating anything bigger the a couple of crack or a cup of soup. I have not had a meal in about a week. The big meal I have had is a chicken deli sandwich which made me  vomiting. I have been drinking Pedolight and some ginger ale and some water. I also have some pain in my back when my side pain get really bad and some in my shoulder. I have had blood work done with come back good. A Ultrasound for gallstone which come back clear. I had a Hida Scan which came back with 87% ejection function but I get very sick when they give me CCK which was noted. The pain as not gone away and my doctors have giving up on me and have not done anything to help me.  I'm at the end of my lash as I can stand the pain and not be able to do anything .

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If it is not gall bladder and liver then it can be pancreas. Get liver function tests done (if not done already) and serum lipase and amylase done. Also the symptoms could be exacerbation of the GERD. Treatment is a combination of drugs to reduce the acid and lifestyle changes. You will need to take a combination of medications (under medical supervision) like a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole, lansoprazole or pantoprazole empty stomach in the morning and an antacid gel after meals for complete relief. Possibility of H pylori infection too should be looked into by a carbon urea breath test and a combination antibiotic tried.
Life style changes that will help include: Avoid heavy meals and eat frequent small meals. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, smoking, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Avoid lying down for least 2 hours after food. Maybe these tips will help you.
You should consult a gastroenterologist (a specialist who looks after the diseases of our digestive system) or a physician for this if these tips reduce your symptoms. You may need upper GI endoscopy for confirmation and to know the degree of damage.
Hope this helps. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

if you haven't had your gal bladder removed yet.. sounds like it is still causing you problems. i'd go to a different doctor.
