I see your post goes back to 2004, the same year I had my first gallbladder pain. Ultra sound showed no stones and I was puzzled. Pain came back in 2007 and now in 2012. In 2007 my HIDA test showed no blockages but the gallbladder would not contract!Puzzled again! My doctor said that my gallbladder goes into a spasm, no other explanation. I have been fighting Candida off and on since the 1990s, main symptoms are fatigue and chemical sensitivity, and eating too much sugar and carbs gives me throat/URI infections. I found out recently that my Candida is very strong in the first part of the duodenum, very close to the connecting tube to the gall bladder, so this is a real possibility for me. Back in 2004 I tried some herbal tea, Boldo by Tadin, and that helped. I forgot all about it until I saw your post. Of course I still use Primadophilis and coconut oil to keep my Candida in check, and stay away from cookies, cake, ice cream, etc. But I'm going to try the Boldo again because my doctor is not going any further with me, and surgery does not always cure this! Have you found anything that helps? Also controlling fear and stress are important. Mild aerobic exercise is helpful if you are fit enough.
