HIDA scan - #17335

A few weeks ago, I started experiencing pain in the upper right side of my abdomen, especially after eating heavy or fatty foods. At first, I thought it was just indigestion, but the discomfort didn’t go away. Sometimes, I also feel nauseous, and I’ve even had occasional bloating and a weird pressure under my ribs. I finally went to the doctor, and after some blood tests and an ultrasound, they said my gallbladder might not be functioning properly. They recommended something called a HIDA scan to check how well my gallbladder is working. I had never heard of a HIDA scan before, so I asked my doctor what it was. They explained that it’s a nuclear medicine test that uses a special dye to track how bile moves from the liver to the gallbladder and intestines. They said it’s useful in diagnosing gallbladder dysfunction, bile duct blockages, and other liver-related issues. But now I’m nervous because I don’t know if the test has any risks or side effects. I started researching natural ways to improve gallbladder health, and that’s when I came across Ayurveda. Are there Ayurvedic treatments that can improve bile flow and gallbladder function naturally? If my HIDA scan shows that my gallbladder isn’t working properly, does Ayurveda have ways to heal it without surgery? I read about herbs like Bhumi Amla and Kutki being good for liver and gallbladder health—do they actually help? Also, could my diet be playing a role in this? I’ve noticed that certain foods seem to trigger my symptoms. Are there specific Ayurvedic dietary recommendations for gallbladder health? I really want to understand if I can heal naturally instead of going straight for medical procedures. Has anyone else had a HIDA scan and found out their gallbladder wasn’t working properly? Were you able to improve your condition with Ayurveda or natural remedies?
