Gallbladder Bent And Septated After An Accident, No Visible Irritation In Digestion. Is Everything Normal ?

A young female who had a sensitive gallbladder all her life, and ate accordingly, had normal/quick digestion regularly and everyday. Had a traffic accident in 2011. after which an abdominal ultrasound was done in January 2012., and the results said that the gallbladder was bent and partially septated, without any dilatations or concrements, but a slightly inflamed membrane. The person had no issues related to that, ate according to needs, had no problems. There has been stress in the persons life for the last six months, the person had high cortisol and strong reactions to gluten and sugar foods. The person has been eating loads of food for months, yet is not gaining weight, and has eaten both gluten, sugars, vegetables, meat. No visible signs of irritation anymore, yet the cortisol is still high. Is it possible for an abdominal ultrasound done this week to say that the gallbladder is smaller, perfect in shape and has no inflamation whatsoever? And that in spite of the massive food intake and the normal level of physical activity, the person lost weight/is gaining none, the food comes out undigested every 5 days or so, with no signs of bloat, inflamation and all the laboratory results being in a normal range?

hello there!
Thank you for asking. the gall bladder is fine. Over cautiousness is making you worried and no need to be. Not gaining weight despite food intake with no complains of GIT except undigested foo dcoming every fifth day out. Well that is an issue and needs workup. why is the food not being digested a question needs to be answere. Starting to assess pancreatic functions would be a good start. And what patient perspective of not gaining weight could be ideal one for a doctor. If the BMI is below 25 and above 20. You have no thing to worry about.
See the gastro enterologist and see a dietitian for dietry plans. I am sure they will sort out one for you

hope you get well soon and i am sure you are well

regards
