Has anyone had a HIDA scan on their gallbladder?

Hi there,

I had a HIDA scan on my gallbladder on Monday. They give you an injection of radioactive dye and scan you for an hour. Apparently you pee and poop that out. Then they give you a really fatty milkshake to stimulate the gallbladder and continue the scan for another hour. I was fully expecting that drink to go right through me on the day, because I’ve had to seriously cut back on saturated fats in the last 6 months. But nothing happened on the day. Tuesday and Wednesday my IBS was a bit active and I was a bit crampy. But today, oh boy 😕. I’ve had terrible pains and horrible IBS. My motility is slow and I’m wondering if the fatty drink has finally wreaked its revenge? Just wondered if anyone else has had this experience. X
