GERD & Heartburn Support Group

oh my goodness! in June i developed esophagitis rather quickly after silent gerd i guess and in the past two weeks my gallbladder has begun hurting everyday now! I went to the dr, no infection or stones, they want to do a hida test but i am going in major debt from medical bills :( I can't believe this is happening, i am a healthy 28 yr old. My dr said it could be related and it HAS to be. I am going to do a gradual gallbladder flush for the sludge that an acupuncturist gave me info on.
Does your hurt everyday? and spasm sometimes?

thanks for the reply marigoldgirl..thats it i don't have any pain just that once they addmitted me to the hosiptal and i had a hida test and i will get the report by my dr weds...im not sure what it could be ..Nick..

I actually have acid reflux and I had an endoscopy done and they found esophageal erosion and I had an abdominal ultra sound and it shows a large gallstone too large to pass my Dr. said. I am suffering from these feelings of brief stabbing pains that come and go and last only moments and then I have a constant habit of clearing my throat. I believe it is from my acid reflux but I am not positive. Has any one had any of these symptoms together? If so what was the cause, my Dr. cant seem to get it right.

yeah, either can my dr after thousands and thousands of dollars, lots of pain and discomfort but i am really strating to think the two are related b/c this is crazy. I feel like a rubberband is around my throat for days at a time and acid will burn my nose if i don't take meds, he did an endoscopy and found mild esophagitis and gastritis and was like, most people don't have this everyday for no reason like you...i watch my diet for the most part, etc. He is a specialist and makes me feel like he has no idea what is going on with me and just to take prilosec that doesn't even work for the rest of my life and get my gallbladder removed when it gets really uncomfortable in a few years....i feel like crying, this is all so new, this all just began this year and it seems there are so many people out there whom have these issues and their drs can't figure it out.

marigoldgirl..guess what...many doctors..GUESS ALIMENTS..MANY GO BY MANY TESTS AND MORE TESTING...VERY FEW GOOD DOCTORS OUT THERE..AND IF YOU HAVE A GOOD DOCTOR..BETTER STICK WITH HIM OR SHE...NICK...
