I have been dealing with issues I now believe are gallbladder related, for 7 years. Symptoms have gotten worse over the years and are now:
Pain once a month or so (central upper abdomen, but it seems to radiate from below my right ribcage, lasting 4-12hours), problems with fatty foods, yellow stools, and a tender abdomen 24/7 (under right ribcage) and excessive gas.
I have had bloodwork done, three ultrasounds, endoscopy and colonoscopy done. They all came back fine. I cant convince them to refer me to a HIDA scan or MRCP. They are convinced that nothing is wrong and it irritates me so much.
Have you ever had doctors not listen? What did you do?

I'm sorry you are going through this. If you are uk based then I think that is a common problem. Saying that I only had one attack and the hospital removed my gallbladder the following week. Think it depends on which ones you see. A and e are a good option if you are in serious pain though.
Take care and be persistent

I have had bloodwork done (incl. something for the liver. Dont know what exactly. Told it was fine though)
I have been seen by my GP, a gastroenterologist and two radiologists. I feel im getting dismissed now, and dont feel like my GP wanna do more about this. I asked him about an MRCP and he just refused, because he said I have had so many tests now, and they all came back fine..
