I've had pain in the liver gallbalder area for about 3 - 4 weeks. CT scan and ultra sound have both been done and the only thing they show is numerous liver cysts. GP referred me to GI specialist.

When I saw them last week I was only able to see the PA...doc is booked for 3 weeks. He wants me to try extra fiber and then if that doesn't work use a med for IBS which by the way I don't think I have.

My regualr doc said they can't do a hidascan that would be under GI's area. At this point in time I feel like nothing is happening and I'm still feeling lousy. What should be the next step and can abx cause this type of pain and problem?

Do I demand more

I don't know beans about liver cysts.

The liver/gallbladder/abdominal pain I had in the past was meds related. Went away when I stopped those meds, either temporarily or permanently.

Organic dandelion tea

Milk thistle

Artichoke

Turmeric

There's also a mushroom-based supp called "Liverforce" by New Chapter that's good.

Definitely consider the milk thistle! And I'd bet the dandelion tea would work too!

You can get a Hida, but it does involve injecting a radioactive substance.

If it were me, I'd try the natural stuff first. I'd be willing to bet it's the abx making your liver angry!

Thank you everyone. I

I have milk thistle and Dandelion tea and will try those ASAP. I don't want radioactive die injected in me and there's no guarantess they'll find anything.

Good ideas!

Snowboarder, read this from Gigi and then read it again, because it makes sense.

I used to have tremendous pain in my liver/gall bladder area and my spleen on the left side. I had ultrasounds done twice and they said everything looks normal.

Well it sure as heck didn't feel normal, so I come to realized that they were toxic and being overworked and to be honest they were
mad.

Take care,
