Non working gallbladder with dizziness and imbalance.
Posted , 13 users are following.
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.

Had mines out 4 weeks ago and felt better almost immediately. Yeah there’s been some issues with wound healing and a wound infection but still glad I got it out.
I’ve had vertigo in the past too which was caused by crystals in the inner ear becoming dislodged and causing the dizziness and imbalance. I’m assuming you’ve been checked for all that though?
Get booked up for the gallbladder to come out though so you can get some kind of life back! Good luck xx

I’d had nausea almost constantly for 7 weeks before surgery. That was gone as soon as I’d woken up 👍🏼. Haven’t been sick since either. Was a bit constipated to begin with but that was prob due to medication. Had an upset stomach a few days but again was due to antibiotics.
I’ve managed to eat macaroni cheese which is probably quite fatty as cheese has a high fat content. Also managing to eat my usual bar of chocolate a day haha. Haven’t had any side effects from them anyway. Tbh I didn’t really eat really fatty foods like takeaways very often before the surgery. Not a fan of chips (fries) or anything that’s too greasy either. So yeah I’d say I’m back to eating what i ate before surgery xx

Either way though your gallbladder needs to come out. Hopefully that happens as soon as so you can find out if that’s makes any difference to how you feel xx

I was referred to neurologist. He did a series of test. But everything was fine. Not referred to ENT so far..I will ask him to check on that too. Regarding my gallbladder, spouse always suggests to stick with bland diet instead of removing the organ. She is afraid of complications and other issues and I'm the only bread winner for the family and only 36 years old. Gastro doctor feels my dizziness won't go away even if I remove my gallbladder and he said it may help with bloating /burping. My general physician says we have check all and I see gb is the only issues ,only after removing it you will come to know it's bcoz of the gallbladder or isolated issue. He also says that it is not gauranty all my digestion issues will be resolved.
Current issues:- 1)indigestion/burping/bloating
2) dizziness,fatigue with blurry vision.
3) poking sensation in both of my legs and sometimes urge to urinate.
4)my A1bc is 5.7 last year.

Nonfunctioning gallbladders don't get better. They also affect the other organs they are supposed to work with. You have a diseased organ and it's best not to keep it in your body. It can become infected and the infection can spread. Not to scare you, it can also become cancerous.

I have this issue since 2011. If I eat a bland diet my burping/bloating and dizziness is manageable. But any than other makes severe. My spouse puts lot of pressure not to remove the organ as she feels it can bring other complications as she is seeing me suffering with cycles where few months eating and feeling good and other month sick with digestion issues.I'm the only bread winner for the family, any further issues for me will leave my family in miserable state. She always ask me what if my problem s still does not get away after removal or further complications. Atleast I'm now managing somehow.

This is a long time to suffer with unresolved issues. I suggest that you remind your wife that diseased gallbladders can become cancerous, and how will she manage if she loses you. She is understandably worried, but she's denying you the opportunity to fix what's going on. You need to be healthy, and not in pain. Most gallbladder removal complications can be dealt with, but not everyone gets them. Fear is not a reason to refuse treatment, when what needs to be treated could become life threatening.
