Ok....any Ideas On This One?

[willabec]

Ok...i have posted a few times the last week....just one more question, any ideas as to why one time my bowel movements will be ok, or decent (not normal but what i consider ok seeing i have been having issues for a while) and then the same day, a few hours later, it can be loose and then i go again and then it's yellow and frothy? why so many different consistencies in one day?????

I don't know why this would happen but I am going to suggest you see your doctor if you haven't already. It might be a good idea to have stool samples done from the different voids.

i have done stool samples twice....one showed a little more fat than normal and that is it, the second came back normal...but i know something is going on. celiac panel blood work came back normal as well. will most likely have colonoscopy done and another endoscopy.....kind of nervous though!!

Their are two things (besides cancer, not very common) that can go wrong with the gallbladder: 1. Stones. They test for this with ultrasound. 2. The thing just begins to die and it loses its ability to push the bile into the gut. They test for this with a HIDA scan. You have to be assertive with the docs sometimes to get them to do this test.

The HIDA scan was the only test that showed my gall bladder was the problem. My gall bladder was slow during the test and the medication injection to stimulate the gall bladder to empty brought on the extreme symptoms I was going through. (Pain and the feeling I needed to vomit even though my stomach was empty.)

I was severely ill in November of last year. 2009. After 6 days in the hospital with severe vomiting/D and PAIN, and a myriad of test, they finally ordered the HIDA scan. Sure enough my gall bladder was kaput! No Bueno! They took it out that evening and I felt better the next morning! Now, whether or not the whole issue began with a still hidden Celiac Disease diagnosis will never be known, but that long, arduous HIDA scan got me feeling better, out of the hospital and at the Thanksgiving dinner table with my family last year...just in time!

Good luck. Gall bladders are tricky little things! LOL
