Hello everyone,
Thank you for taking your time in reading my post
I was wondering if sole nausea can be an indicator of gallstones? I have been checked for almost everything else and a doctor gave me PPIs with no big effect
apples and apple juice however make me feel great

An ultrasound will show for sure if you have stones , it's not very expensive

When was your neasea?! I have dealt with neasea for almost 2 years?! Lost almost 50 pounds and I wasn't over weight!! My life has been constantly dealing with sickness and my family has suffered because of it. Very scarey when you can't eat much. I have a large 2.5cm gallstone. Every test done was fine. I had an MRI of the upper & lower abdominal area. Even an MRI of my brain! I had 2 scopes upper stomach & lower. They wouldn't take out my gallbladder because I didn't have pain. Did u have a HIDA scan? My gallbladder walls aren't inflamed so they think it's Gastropresis (slow emptying of the stomach) but that test only said I had a 2% slower stomach emptying which isn't much. I wonder if that's because of the gallbladder?! I have neasea & bloating weekly and can't eat much or I get neasea. I'm almost to the point of faking the pain as people do to have it out but if it's not that it's a big risk. Thanks for any info. Worse thing I've been through so far in my life and I was perfectly healthy for the last 49 years!!

Thanks for all the info!! Yes I know exactly what you mean! Your healthy & not over weight, luckily never had any major issues with health then all of a sudden your sick?! Initially it would come & go so I thought a stomach bug but eventually chronic?! I will keep pushing for the HIDA scan & second & third opinions!! I've heard stress which is stupid & depression which is not the case but you can become depressed never getting better?!!!! They keep trying all this medication which doesn't help?! I've had 2 surgeons & 2 gastroenterologists who won't take out my gallbladder because of no pain attacks. If I had pain they'd taken it out a year ago! It's tough because you think if I fake the pain & it is taken out I'm scared because it could work as 1 gastroenterologist said or I may still be sick & lost an organ! I will do the HIDA scan but my gastroenterologist said there not reliable?!!!! I don't get that?! My family doctor does them so I will go back to her & the surgeon again!!

You can also get a HIDA scan to see if your gallbladder is functioning properly and an ultrasound may not always show gallstones (my ultrasound a week before showed nothing but my ultrasound at the hospital revealed gallstones).
