Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I went to see the surgeon yesterday about having my gallbladder out, and he said yes, let's take it out. But he said my gallstones don't explain my burping, sour stomach, and pain around my belly button (which I already knew) so there's no guarantee I'll feel better after the surgery. Plus with my Crohn's, the surgery becomes more dangerous, with a lengthy hospital stay. So I'm putting it off. My doctor had tested me for h. pylori, and lipase and amilase (or something) and that was all fine. So apparently this means I DO have enough stomach acid? Do I not need the hydrochloric acid supplements? I just feel so yucky all the time now - I don't know what's going on. I hate to say it, but I'm pretty sure it's not candida being killed off, as I've been terrible about my eating habits lately. Along with the stomach problems I've been getting migraines lately, which I hadn't had in years. The surgeon told me to go see my gastro about the stomach issues, but I know he'll just pump me full of more meds (as it is, I'm not taking the Crohn's meds he told me to take). On top of this, I'm STILL deficient in vitamin D. I was hoping that might explain some of this but from what I looked up, it doesn't. My kingdom for a doctor who actually CARES!
