HIDA Scan Consideration
so I had a HIDA scan today to look at my gallbladder. A portion of the way through the process you have to drink a high fat drink while they take pictures of your gallbladder to see how it reacts. Well.....there are 400 calories in said high fat drink! Had I not already been 60 minutes into the process I may have asked my doctor for another option. The tech was considerably less than amused with me when I told him that was almost my whole daily calorie allotment and that I wasn't going to drink it. I, of course, drank it but I'm not happy that I don't get to eat today. And just so you know, they don't have lower calorie options, I asked. There are many tests a doctor can do to assess your gallbladder. Maybe one of the others can be considered.
