Ultrasound Showed Enlarged Spleen With Sludge In Gallbladder For Symptoms Of Stomach Pain, Nausea, Diarrhea. Any Thoughts?

My boyfriend has been having stomach pains for three months. He gets very tired, nauseated, indigestion, and some diarrhea. He has had blood work done, physical exam, and stool test, which all came back normal. He had a ultrasound today that showed an enlarged spleen and sludge in the gallbladder. What do you think is wrong?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Gallbladder sludge is a mixture of bile, mucous,and cholesterol, and calcium based particles.
It strucks in the bile duct and cause pain.May lead to gallbladder infection, infection of pancreas,or gall stones.
Mostly resolves by its own, or else gall bladder is to be operated.
Your condition appears to be due to the pancriatitis.
I advise you to consult a gastro enterologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
