My GI visit

You all know I have been very sick with my belly and no it wasn't the bug that our Finnian had. After seeing the GI doc today he basically agrees with me that it was probably gallstones. Yup you can still get gallstones even with out a gallbladder. The stones can form in the duct from the liver. I have to get an ultrasound of my liver to see if there are more stones and he did more blood work to check my pancreas and liver out. He said if they show signs of stones then he will able to an upper GI scope to remove the stones I forget what he called the GI scope. He also thinks I am lactose intolerant. That doesn't surprise me either. So I have to stay on the Nexium until I see him again.
