Hi everyone,

I'm almost suffering with digestion issues like belching/burping/dizziness/imbalance for 7 years. I did MRI, it was normal. Did colonoscopy and endoscopy 3 times, remarked with gastritis. But HIDA scan showed my gallbladder is not working at all 0%. I can remember these dizziness /imbalance started when I felt a pain on my right side. If I eat any oily, fatty, protein foods like chicken my stomach gets distended where I need to burp/belch to get relieve from symptoms. My concern is more on the dizziness/imbalance compared to my digestion issues. My B12 was low, had multiple shots but did not help much.Doctors says only if I remove my gallbladder we will come to know if dizziness is due to that or not.So like to hear from you all if it is the right thing to remove non working gallbladder.In internet, who suffer only comes and post, who are good , don't care and look after their life. I really like to hear if anybody had the above issues and how did get solved.

    Hi Jayvin, was your condition ever properly diagnosed?  I have been having almost identical symptoms.  The most concerning is the dizziness.  However, I get bad pains in the abdomen right below the breastbone and horrible squeezing pain in the throat like where the thyroid is.  Also have nagging pain around the liver area.  It all seems to point to a liver or gallbladder issue.  Again, I was just curious if you had found a diagnosis because the way you described your dizziness was word for word how I would describe mine.

    Hello jayvin I don't know where to begin iv been living with those very same issues for years now....even had the colon cam done..all this been happening since I was 19 I'm now 30 it seems that I'll have my episodes consistently for a while then it's almost like it all dies down doesn't completely go away but isn't as bad and becomes manageable then out of no where months or weeks later bam it all hits me again it has me in a constant state of fear especially when the attacks happen the dizziness/pressure below my ribs like air/ shallow like breathing/air in my chest at times/ which is slightly relieved with belching or (passing gas sorry for the tmi or sometimes going numb. 2) I guess you could say when it all happens to me I'm convinced I'm gonna die...iv been to multiple doctors multiple e.r visits and they brush me off an chalk it up as panic attacks but it's not it's something completely different and the symptoms are so hard to describe accurately with words ...and I have gone through these phases of what I thought the problem was but I still have had no answers...been told it's not my heart it's not my lower digestive that only leaves 2 areas my stomach area or maybe my head idk...but I've also been told I had a b12 defitioncy and really high levels of calcium...I have another doctor appointment in 2 days I been praying something gives....but if you have found any thing out that could help me I would be beyond appreciative thank you very much.....

    I started feeling a little lightheaded after I had my GALLBLADDER removed. It started the first time I noticed when I was doing my exercising....walking and I guess I had not eaten enough and the next time I notice it was when I burped sometimes a woozy feeling would come over me. especially when my stomach empty or had eaten enough. I just wonder have anyone figure out what is causing this, I am also Menopausal. but, I notice this right after I had my gallbladder removed. I also suffer from ACID REFLUX.
