Re: Has anyone had the HIDA scan?

[Guest guest]

I had it done...I was told not to eat after 12 pm the night before....It doesnt

hurt at all......you lay down on a bed thing and your in a machine thing doesnt

cover your head or anything...just your gallbladder area.....they inject you

with some stuff which also does not hurt.... I was very afraid b/c I cant be

alone but they stay in the room with you the whole time also and you see the

screen but theres nothing really you can tell I got my results right away b/c

my wasnt functioning at all usually you wait 3 days but sometimes they will tell

you right away. If it does function they also give you another like 30 min test

I cant really tell you about that b/c i didnt get that far

not want another GB attack. But I do want them to get

a accurate reading... thanks for your help... Angie

When your gallbladder is not functioning, how is the

bile excreted?

Thank you Arlene, soooo much! So do you still have

your GB? What were your choices? If it's not

functioning than do they take it out? Do they have to?

What do they do if it's functioning slow. Also when

you mean right away do you mean the doc told you right

then... thanks for answering my questions.

I dont think anyone has a gallbladder thats completely not

functioning. Even ones filled with stones still manage to perform

some storage and excretion duties.

But if your gallbladder is not working very well the amount and

consistency of the bile secreated will be insufficient for proper

digestion.

Type in google " bile insufficiency symptoms " and see for yourself if

you have it.

I had a similar experience, except that I don't think there was

someone in the room the whole time. I also didn't get the results

right away. I had to call the doctor to get the results, and I had no

function as well. If they don't see it function, they inject a low

level of morphine into you. It's supposed to stimulate the gall

bladder.

Yeah they told me RIGHT AWAY wasnt a good thing they rushed me to surgery ad

tests and they were all fine but i went on the 31st of jan to talk to a surgeon

and they know my background i had a stillbirth in Oct and i want to get

pregnant sooo bad again and so since my gallbladder isnt functioning at all

Ihave a good chance of getting a diseased gallbladder and pancretis and you know

when you get pregnant it has a big effect on your gallbladder espeiclally with

my condition that will most likely get again whe i get pregant ICp (very

serious). So I am gonna get it out next week They said with me I didnt have

to b.c they cant make you..you know...but like i said they said it cold have

very serious risks for my baby and i already lost my babygirl so i dont want to

take any chances...and since its there and isnt working But im very

scaredddd I have never been put to sleep Im sorry i

Arelene-I am sorry for your loss. I had a late pregnancy loss in June (at 5

months pg with

baby girl) and it was devastating. I can only imagine the pain you feel.

I had the HIDA scan and my gallbladder is functioning low at 16%. (I don't have

stones or

sludge) I had to wait until the next day to get results from my doctor.

My GI told me I could get the surgery, but surgeon said he would not suggest I

get it out

at this time. So I am trying alternative methods-low fat high fiber diet,

supplements and

homeopthic remedy. I start acupuncture in 2 weeks also.

I want to get pregnant very badly as well, so I am trying to keep my gallbladder

and get

pregnant-but I am terrified that it will get worse when pregnant.

But I am doing all I can to keep this organ and give it a jumpstart!

You don't have to get your gallbladder out, especially if the only thing that is

wrong is that

it is " lazy " I would suggest using surgery as a last resort.

Thank you so much...yeah my baby was born sleeping at 37 weeks and 2 days It

wasnt fair at all obviously and the drs just played GOD with my baby and my poor

daughter isnt here b/c of that. Im very very sorry about your loss as week it is

the worst thing any body will ever have to go through is losing their baby. Well

i have a cluster of stones and it isnt functioning like at all. I wanted to keep

it too but once they said that if i get pregnant the chances are things will get

very bad b/c of how my gallbladder is and....i also didnt want it out b/c i

thought i would have to wait a long time to get pregant again but thats not the

case in either one but hopefully they wont do open....which they said they

shouldnt have to but you never know. I also do a low fat diet high in fiber but

i also need that for when i get pregnant b/c with the condition i will most

likley get it helps a lot if you have a low fat diet and high fiber. Once again

im so sorry about your loss and if

you ever need someone to talk to you can email me b/c i know exactly how it

feels

I am so sorry to hear about your losses. I can't

imagine what pain and devastation. I will pray for

quick prenancies and healthy babies you all's way.

I had the HIDA scan. Took them about 45 minutes to

see what they wanted to see. And then they did the 30

minutes of something else... Then it was over. We went

out to eat! I was starved. I ate a huge salad with 1/2

a tablespoon of dressing... It was awesome!!!

Anyway glad that is over. I prayed that I would be

calm and I was.. God is good... thanks for listening..

From my experience, I learned a long time ago that Digest aids such as

Enzymes, HCL/betine will help to dissolve the stones and give great ease

in this area. The reason we have the stones is a lack of proper

digestion, and because we all have eaten the S-A-D diet we have GB

problems. I would suggest giving this a try and see if it is not true.

I know it worked for me.

Also plenty of good water a day is very important.

I have a book called YOUR BODY'S MANY CRIES FOR WATER and the man says

one of the main causes of a miscarriages is a lack of drinking of water.

I am so sorry about the loss of your baby and can only imagine how

devastating it is to go through something like this. My deepest

sympathies are with you all. Prayer and time helps and I will certainly

pray for you too.

Blessings,

Thank you Arlene, soooo much! So do you still have

There seems to be a LOT of controversy over drinking water. What do

you think is " good " water?

Thanks.
