is it possible to have pain in upper right abdomen, every test be negative but still have gall bladder problem?

Yes: In particular, biliary dyskinesia is thought to be a functional gallbladder problem, and can sometimes be diagnosed with a CCK-HIDA scan.

Follow-up with Dr.: Upper abdominal pain can be from "acid" pains, such as a stomach ulcer, just gastritis with no ulcer, or reflux (heartburn). Sometimes there is an ulcer in the first part of the small intestine. An infection with H. pylori bacteria can lead to stomach ulcer pains. May need med changes, and continuing reevaluation. Pancreatitis, gallstones, or some cancers (rare in young people) can also occur.

Question 6

how can the liver and gallblader function in digestion?

Accepted Answer

Only liver functions: The ability to digest food depends of GI enzymes most of which are produced by the pancreas and then activated by bile produced by the liver.  Rather than have bile constantly spilling into the GI tract, The GB acts as a reservoir.  When food enters the stomach and reaches the SB digestion occurs with bile activated pancreatin, the bile having been stored in the gallbladder which then empties.

Question 7

pain in liver and gall bladder?

Accepted Answer

More info?: Why do you think its your liver or gallbladder?  Have you been seen?  If it is you can try to avoid the food "triggers" such as high fat or fried foods.  Sometimes this with exercise and weight loss is enough to avoid attacks.  Most people eventually need surgery to remove the gallbladder.  Its a very common surgery.

Question 8

what is the best liver & gall bladder cleanse?

Accepted Answer

None: Cleansers generally don't do much except cause diarrhea in order to supposedly remove toxins. Kelation generally does nothing either.

Question 9

which foods are best for your liver and gall bladder?

Accepted Answer

Healthy: Eating a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables, avoiding a lot of meat, avoiding fried fatty greasy foods, avoiding alcohol. Avoid risky behaviors that might risk exposure to hepatitis virus.

Question 10

is egg is good for liver and gall bladder disease?

Accepted Answer

Egg is not good.: Egg contains both protein and fats. Liver metabolizes the protein and also produces bile, which is green in color & is stored in the gall bladder. During digestion, bile is released from the gall bladder through the common bile duct. Bile helps in the digestion and absorption of fats through the formation of "micelles". So, egg may not be good for someone with liver or gall bladder disease.
