Any latest updates on your situation?I posted this over on peatarian but was looking for as much input as I can get.:
I have gotten a HIDA scan showing a poor functioning gallbladder and of course doc wants to pull it.
Whats a smart move here? I could hold off on it for a while longer but the pains after eating are very bad.
I have read there is a prescription medicine (chenodiol and ursodiol) that can dissolve stones but can take up to 2 years. Any thoughts on this?
A newer method called Contact Dissolution Therapy can dissolve the stones very quick but is still experimental.
Also ESWL or lithotripsy to "vibrate" stones into smaller stones.
I have a hard time seeing how not having a gallbladder is compatible with health. Digesting fat, fat soluble vitamins, and a detox organ seems important. I have also read that eventually after GB removal, the duct forms a quasi-gallbladder that functions like the real thing. So if that is true, maybe removal of a inflamed and infected GB isn't so bad.
I'm a 21 year old male. My mother had her's removed when she was 21. She had awful heath problems like me at my age that all went away after she had her's removed. She seems to be doing pretty good and can eat more irritating foods than I can.
It seems some people have new complaints after the surgery and others have their issues resolved.
Once it comes out it can't go back in, so I want to make the right decision.
Has anyone tried these methodsA newer method called Contact Dissolution Therapy can dissolve the stones very quick but is still experimental.

Supposedly d-limonene dissolves gallbladder stones. It might help your pain as well.Has anyone tried these methods
I've had terrible Gallbladder pain for about a month now but too scared to go and get it checked out. I don't want it removed
