Hi everyone,Do any of you suffer with recurring gall stones? I have fibro & IBS as well. I had my gall bladder removed 9 yrs ago and since then have had two ERCP procedures to remove gall stones from my bile duct. The last ERCP was in April last year. I have started with symptoms again. Nausea, pain in chest & worse IBS than usual. My doctor thinks it may be gall stones yet again & my surgeon referred me for a MRCP scan, which I had last Friday, so I am waiting for the results, whilst living on a fat free diet to try to keep the symptoms under control. If any of you do have recurring gall stones do you have any suggestions that may prevent/slow their formation?
The surgeon told me that they couldn't insert a stent (this can help the bile flow more freely) so the only thing he could suggest was a pill taken daily which may help in some cases (I don't know the name of it). If it is gall stones again this time I really don't want to have to face regular ERCP procedures as it is very unpleasant. Starting to get desperate to find a solution.....
