A member asked:
I have frequent heat/pain in chest. tests eliminated gerd/cardio. us shows sludge in gb (no stones), and hida ef is 37%. does that warrant gb removal?

No: I do not think that what you describe is gallbladder related. I would be interested in learning the tests that you say ruled out reflux. Also consider an esophageal condition like esophageal spasm. Give the information you submitted, I would be against removing your gallbladder at present time. www.drlugo.com
