[quote=Anonymous]Ultrasound is not perfect in detecting or ruling out gallstones. I had them done twice, with clean results, at a major research hospital. They saw no stones and as a result I experienced 10 years of gallstone pain. It culminated in gallstone pancreatitis and 8 days in the hospital NPO waiting for it to recede so I could have surgery. If you think this is gallstone pain, I would not plan to leave the country for 20 days over break. It’s not going to have been dealt with by then. But there are a lot of things that could cause intermittent severe abd pain in a college-age kid, and I would not take any of those out of the US undiagnosed either. ER or not will not make the difference unless she already has pancreatitis, and if that were happening the pain would be severe enough that she would not be on the fence about going to the ER.[/quote]
