I haven't been feeling well due to gallbladder and you know when you're sick you imagine you have every dread disease. Anyway I was wondering if during an abdomenal ultrasound does test pick up tumors in other organs such as stomach and intestines?

I haven't been on board lately as I am too sick with this gallbladder stuff. I am see surgeon on Tuesday and might have the surgery Friday - if he can fit me in.

I don't know about the abdominal ultrasound, but I just wanted to wish you much luck with the surgeon on Tuesday--is that tomorrow or next week?

It's understandable that you're worried and imaginating the worst--I do that, too :) Try and relax until you know what you're actually dealing with--I'll keep positive thoughts for you that it's simply your gallbladder and that it gets taken care of quickly and smoothly.

Please keep us posted.

It may show a shadow or an irregular area, so you would have to do a CT Scan to clarify what it is they see. Hope this helps.

Good Luck! You are in my thoughts.

so if there's no shadow then there's nothing to investigate?

Do you know how far down into the abdominal area the sonogram goes?

my daughter had an MRI once that showed she had multi-cystic ovaries. the MRI was being done for hip pain, but it picked up the ovary problem because it was nearby. and----the ovary problem was not a problem, we discovered, after being referred to a gyno. i agree with blue-eyed-mamma---the ultra sound is likely to show something irregular if it is in the general area of the gall bladder. you could always mention to the tech that you are concerned about this and he might be a little more thorough with his ultra sound.

I think it may also depend on what the dr. writes on the script, as to what they look for. That has been the case with my procedures.

Best of luck, Deb, and I hope you find some answers and you start to feel better. Please keep us updated.

I recently had an ultrasound and a CT scan related to my gallbladder. Both reports included information on the other organs near my gallbladder, including my liver, pancreas and kidneys.

I hope the you feel better soon.

It usually depends on what the doctor has written for as in how far it goes. So it will show the entire area around that organ but it the tech is going to concentrate on what the doctor is looking for. Sometimes if they don't see a shadow and you are still experiencing problems they may order additional tests.

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      By numike · Posted

      Check out this celiac story  I was diagnosed early 2000s with the blood test  since then I have for the most part maintained a gluten-free diet  Recently (August 2025) I drove from Southern Illinois to Lake Erie Ohio On the drive back I was extremely hungry and I had a coupon at a hamburger chain and I stopped and forgot to request gluten-free bun etc and quickly consumed two hamburgers. I promptly ate both of them and had absolutely no problem since then I've been eating plenty of gluten  Is my celiac gone?  Insert: No, celiac disease cannot just end because there is no cure for it; however, a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet allows the small intestine to heal and symptoms to go away. To manage the condition effectively, you must strictly avoid all sources of gluten, including wheat, barley, and rye, which are common in the American diet. Sticking to the diet can lead to significant symptom improvement and intestinal healing, but it requires ongoing commitment and monitoring with a healthcare professional  Regarding medical test I had My stools analyzed Giardia Ag Cryptosporidium Ag and they came back negative  I had the lactulose test and it came back high so I'm on two weeks of heavy antibiotics That still has not stopped me from eating gluten. Here's what I think is going on and I hope to have your opinion regarding it  Since I've been gluten-free for so long my intestinal tract has repaired itself consequently anything I eat with gluten now just bounces right off with no damage to my gut  however  when I asked AI what was going on the reply was celiac has not gone away and  if I continue to eat gluten I'm going to have problems   I look forward to your sage advice as to what the heck is going on with me Thank you for reading Mike 09112025

      I agree, and generally it means that it isn't working in a high enough percentage of participants to continue pursuing it.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill
