Gallbladder Gone! But....

Two weeks ago I had my gallbladder out for the following reasons: low ejection fraction (8%), Upper Rt Quad pain, loose stools --all for about 3 months.

I have to say --the surgery itself was easy; laproscopic --home 3 hours after surgery and recovered at home. Felt great 1 week post op; week two --

I am having cramping and pain in the upper rt quad again. Now I'm wondering if I made a mistake in having the surgery. The good news though --

stools are back to normal.

Has anyone had a Lap Choly and still had pain in that area afterwards? I'm hoping it will go away after a few weeks of healing time.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

I had my gallbladder out in january and still have upper right pain. I also have the pain that radiates to the back sometimes(tho not too often). Ive heard it takes a while for it to get normal again because your liver is trying to adjust to the change. I also had a low functioning gallbladder.

Sandrad - thanks for your reply. That brightened my day, as I've been imaging all these horrible diseases.

Or, wasn't sure if it's Celiac rearing its ugly head, in spite of trying to

stick to a strict gluten-free diet. This is all such a pain in the butt (pun intended).

Thanks & have a nice weekend!

Don't forget to mention it at your follow up visit. There may have been a nick cut into the wrong place. If that is the case, that can be surgerical fix.

To tell you honestly I still have a slight pain in that area when I get tired. Surgery was 1 1/2 years ago for me.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
