ok...so i don't have an official ibs diagnosis at this point but the diet sure is helping me. I got my medical records yesterday because I'm changing doctors (longstory)and i'm guessing i'll have a ct scan next week to find out whats going on in my tummy.
Basically, my bloodwork came back fine. kidney and liver are fine. The Upper GI came back fine - no hiatal hernia, no ulcer and no reflux (which is amazing to me since we thought this was gerd reoccurance. i had an upper gi in 95 that said reflux lol) but the ultrasound came back inconclusive. the records say "suboptimal visualization of the gallbladder due to adjacent duodenum. The gallbladder is oeither bilobed containing multiple shadowing calculi or the gallbladder is normal and compressed by adjacent gas containing stomache/duodenum. Cannot exclusde multiple calculi versus adjacent gas within the stomach and duodenum. clinical correlation and correlation to biliary enzymes recommended. if there if further clinical concern a ct scan of the abdomen or a hepatobiliary scan may be performed"
so i'm guess the ct scan will be ordered. If there are gallstones is this my problem? could i have it removed and be done with the pain? Or if the gallbladder is fine, does this mean i for sure do have ibs? will they give me that diagnoses at that point?
