Mysterious gallbladder disease - can't digest fat for no apparent reason

No problem. Lots of bacteria of the microbiome can synthesize GABA and I think of the B. adolescentis as one of the overall better ones but imo it's no good or at the least no benefit to feed colon-colonizing bacteria whilst there's something wrong in the upper GI system. P5P can be nice but I'd want to affirm serum B12 to be >500 ng/L first (wrt peristalsis).
Out of curiosity: Which antiparasitics had you taken? Any pancreatic lipotomatosis seen in the ultrasound? Afaik pancreatic secretion and gastric acid secretion are correlated so anything disrupting one of them would inhibit the other (wrt to the gastroparesis or lack of gastric mucous layer (impact of food stickyness) you wrote).I hope you can figure things out and share your findings.

@CrumblingCookie Makes sense. Also, the antibiotics I might have to take would probably eradicate any B. adolescentis succesfully planted in the digestive tract.
Regarding antiparasitics, I have taken only flowers of sulphur, but in quite high doses (approx. 2x-3x the recommended antiparasitic dose) and the courses were repeated to increase chances of hitting the parasites in the right moment of their life cycle. Should I try different antiparasitic?
To summarize the discussion so far: I should take GABA powder and ensure adequate b12 + choline, to support forward peristaltis. Figure out what kind of pathogen colonized my digestive tract (if any) and then use targeted therapy to eradicate that pathogen, and/or use Camphoric acid as a non-specific treatment. Is that correct?
GABA powder cures my insomnia within minutes of taking, btw.
Would you recommend taking monolaurin as an adjuvant therapy, to support the main antibiotic / antifungal?
Earlier you mentioned chemically induced GI issues, what kind of chemicals might induce such symptoms?
I was told that there was no pancreatic lipotomatosis seen in the ultrasound.
Pancreas:
Gallbladder:
Liver:
Spleen:

Hi, I can't help to interpret such ultrasound images (yet). All I see, if those measurements are done right, is that both your liver and spleen are indeed really small.
Is that a good thing and sign of extraordinarily good health? I don't know. Probably if I were your GP and only saw those ultrasound reports I'd throw in the towel and deem so.Earlier you mentioned chemically induced GI issues, what kind of chemicals might induce such symptoms?
Anything, really, especially if regeneration or lymphatic clearance are not up it. Emulsifiers, detergents, micro(nano)crystalline cellulose, NSAIDS, glucocorticoids, various other medications or caustic chemicals.

That's what I'd aim at. If it's H. pylori that would be the most obvious and discernable cause.
Flowers of sulphur would only tackle lumen contents but e.g. no fluke in the biliary/pancreatic duct (which in rare very circumstances wouldn't excrete eggs in stool).monolaurin as an adjuvant therapy, to support the main antibiotic / antifungal?
I had looked into that and wasn't convinced by its selectivity against only some bacterial species. If it's anticandida/-fungal I would first want a semi-quantitative analysis of fungus in stool and still focus on the other drugs & biofilm- & membrane-breaking enzymes like hemicellulases.

Neat!

@CrumblingCookie Thank you so much.
I have found a lab that can test all pathogens you mentioned. Any other pathogens I should test? Aspergillus and Saccharomyces maybe? I suspect the pathogen in my gut might be producing ethanol
