(I'm a 24yo male in good shape)
I'll get to the point.
My primary question:
Does oil in stool + no/little gallbladder pain + constipation followed by pigment stone looking balls mean I'm passing pigment stones? Is there any other explanation for this symptom combination?
My main symptoms:
Uncomfortable/painful:
perpetual feeling of incomplete evacuation
infrequent bloating
constipation on my left side
constipation and tightness right around naval
feeling of blockage somewhere in intestines(between small and large intestine perhaps)
sharp pains after eating nuts, legumes, eggs, and bloating/discomfort after onions and maybe blueberries, since removing these foods from my diet I very rarely have pain in the gallbladder area
Not necessarily painful symptoms that lead me to believe I have a gallbladder issue:
dark hard balls always come out at the beginning of a bm(pigment stones??) following constipation
constant burping
constant gas and stomach gurgling
oil in every bowel movement
torn/serrated look to most bm's
90-95% of bm's sink
infrequent symptoms of iron and Vitamin A deficiency
exercise helps the discomfort but not the irregularity
I get sores in my mouth that I think correlate with eating certain foods, I didn't get sores for weeks, ate peanut butter, then had sores the next day, I have sores right now too but I'm not sure from what
Relevant notes about my diet and supplements/medication:
Since greatly increasing my vegetable intake and taking metamucil I have a bm daily, albeit will all of the above quirks
I don't eat dairy, gluten, or nuts/legumes
I take adderall on a daily basis, I don't think it's good for me and would like to quit but I'm not able to deal with both these digestion issues and withdrawal concurrently(also, the constipation is 3x worse without the adderall, I did manage to quit for 3 months(when I suspected adderall was the root of my problems), but relapsed after 3 days of consecutive constipation)
I used to take bile salts when the gallbladder area pains were more frequent, I now take lipase supplements but I'm not sure this is doing anything
I've tried dozens of other things but this post is already pretty long.
This is my first post but I've been searching this and many others sites for months, I've found a lot of helpful information from the following threads:

I have already seen a gastroenterologist(he recommended an ultrasound which I won't be able to get for a couple weeks as my insurance doesn't cover it) and have an appointment with a GP in 2 weeks. Any advice in the meantime would be much appreciated, this is sort of ruining my life. Thanks for reading.
