RUQ Pain not gallbladder

I began this nightmare a year ago. RUQ pain, presenting with nausea and diarrhea regardless of food or drink.

Lost 30 lbs in a matter of weeks.

Colonoscopy /endoscopy found an ulcer. Once located all else was forgotten.

I spent months taking magnesium pills to no avail and when i complained my GI doc said it was all in my head or muscular. needless to say i got a second opinion.

HIDA scan found an overactive gallbladder at 97% but they say this is normal. no stones or sludge.

MRI

CAT Scan - negative except for a cyst on my one and only left ovary and an enlarged liver.

Gastric Emptying Scan .. you name it i have been put through it. all is normal.

And they say I have NAFLD compliments of all the drugs they have put me on for autoimmune treatments for RA and Hashimotos. It is because of this diagnosis that i have been gluten and dairy free since 2011. I take Synthroid and Humira to treat both.

I have stopped taking prednisone. (been a year now)

I still cant eat .. and yet i have gained 100 lbs

I am so swollen... the edema is so bad it hurts to walk due to how swollen my body is.

But nothing is wrong...

I meet with the specialist today after waiting months since the gastric empting scan... I am at a loss. I am beyond frustrated and sick of this crap.
