Update 8/5:
I went to the doc, and he was pretty adamant based on my labs and other info from last year that my problem is either a) a messed-up gallbladder or, b) stomach ulcers/ AND THAT'S ALL IT COULD BE (so says he). He's gonna do an endoscopy, next week, and he of course suggested that the gallbladder gets taken out if it is determined that ulcers aren't present.
I'm confused about the whole thing, as my last year scans show no stones and a gallbladder that was working fine through labs, so if he's keen on going off year-old info, why does he not consider that? Do you guys think my gallbladder could be infected? I show no jaundice or anything. @whodathunkit, I got the bile and have been using it. It initially worked pretty well, but now it seems no matter what I eat, zero fat or not, I get the stomach pain, weird brain-fog, and a slight fever.
I just hate how fast-talking and sure the doc was about my issues after kind of glazing over my numbers. Nice enough guy, but left me with more questions than answers. Now I basically have to suffer a week while I wait for this endoscopy.
I'm gonna try something I saw in another thread about using apple cider vinegar and/or vitamin C. Charlie once mentioned Cascara Sagrada, which never seems to do anything for me but I do have it. Just took a 450 mg pill of it in hopes it will clear up my irritating problems of right this second (just ate about an hour ago). I guess I'll try them one-at-a-time in case any of them work and I don't get confused as to which one helped.
