Yeah it’s always been a thought that maybe it is my gallbladder but the HIDA scan is apparently the test to examine the function of the gallbladder amongst other organs. But they said everything was unremarkable. I wish they’d be able to do it while I was actively having the pain though. Maybe I can talk to my doctor about it. I had the liver function test to supposedly rule out SOD and had it done while experiencing the pain but only the albumin levels were slightly high.

I had terrible attacks in the gallbladder area for years. They did a HIDA scan. It came back normal. However, a surgeon finally took out my gallbladder and my attacks are gone.

Stones sometimes hide and if I were you I would ask about getting a Lipase test at a lab when you are having the pain. I had my gallbladder removed several years ago and had pain in that spot a few times after (bad pains) and my GI told me to get to a walk-in clinic or ER and have lipase tested. I would ask about it.
