Posted on Tue, 25 Mar 2025

Question: I am having abdominal pain and bloating. I have had blood work done and was good, Gallbladder US was normal, HIDA scan was normal. I bloated up before Christmas around the 18th and finally got relief on 01/04/2021. This has been going on sin July and in September my GI doctor said it was secondary to my COPD. I am scheduled for a PET/CT Scan for a suspicious nodule in my right lung. Could all this be my gallbladder?

Brief Answer:
Not a gall bladder issue.

Detailed Answer:
Hello my dear patient,
Firstly i am very sorry for the problems you are going through,
As USG gallbladder and HIDA are normal i don't tink its related to your gallbladder,
As per my opinion sir you are on a lots of medications.These medications irritates gut wall and destroys the good bacterial colonies in gut which are responsible for proper digestion and complete fermentation of food.
I would suggest you to take home cooked light vegetarian food for a week along with probiotic VSL#3 twice daily.
Activated charcoal tablets could also be taken.
Revert back tome after a week.
Very likely you would be fine.
Thank you!
