Suspected gallstones with my compensated cirrhosis
Hi guys, been a while since I've been on here but having some slight concerns about gallstones. My liver seems to have been doing well for the past few years; I'm eating healthy, no booze in 4+ years and exercising daily so feeling fit and healthy which hopefully means my cirrhosis is still at a compensated

Help re ERCP please
Hi, 7 years ago I had serious bowel complications during surgery . I was vein fed for months which gave me gallstones. Things have settled and my bloods are ok,now but I have numerous small stones stuck in common bile duct. They don’t bother me apart from occasional dull pain in gall bladder region.

Gallstones surgery still waiting
I was diagnosed with gallstones three month ago but still haven’t got a letter from the consultant. How long do you wait in Scotland till the surgery? I am in a lot of pain and it’s a long wait ☹️

Hopefully things will Work Out
I have what the call stable cirrhosis of the liver, supposedly the lowest form. I did have a gallstone for the last three years and had ultrasound a month ago and now GI tells me there’s no gallstone anymore. How can that be with no kind of treatment or meds?

Relief at last - only taken 3 years
Well I am now day 5 of taking pregablin & fingers crossed I am feeling so much better, it seems to be managing the pain & I have only had to take oramorph once & that was only because I panicked when I woke up with a bit of cramping. Day one was fun as I felt as high as a kite & didn’t stop smiling all

Awaiting results, going insane 🙈😢
I recently had a ultrasound as I’ve been feeling awful... the lovely lady said to call for results as I have yet the receptionist had said I can’t get a call for 2 weeks. My question is would they have told me at the scan if it was anything bad? All she said was no gallstones 🤷♀️ I’m a born worrier

Help with ibs symptoms
Hi, I have just been diagnosed with ibs after 3 years of pain. Had countless tests, the most recent being a defecating proctogram, this showed up a full circumferential inussuception, rectocele & entrocele. I’ve also had a capsule endoscopy which showed all the markers still in my left small bowel.

Letter from Hep Consultant PBC
Hi received my letter from the consultant - Primary Biliary Cirrosis! instead of Primary Biliary Cholangitis. I was horrified to find the name changed in 2016 and not sure I have much faith in his approach. At no point does it mention Cholangitis, I have a Fib4 score of 5.34 no idea what that means.

Worrying
Hi I have been having multiple tests since having elevated liver enzymes GGT was >400 and ALT>200. I found out today that I also have smooth muscle antibodies does this mean it’s AIH? I’m waiting for a fibro scan appointment and also more blood results. I did phone the helpline and the lady was so helpful

PBC and Poop
After lots of research it turns out that orange poop indicates the lack of
bile
salts
. After learning this I became much more attentive to when I took Urso. I'm not a meal eater because of digestion stuff...I eat very small amounts all day.

Drinking and liver
I am reading a lot of posts here and people honestly admit their drinking. But what is drinking. Before January 2021 I would have a glass of red wine every day for a few years. Apparently, all my doctors even now say red wine in moderation is fine. Well, no. I was told fatty liver, had cholecystectomy

Normal ALP at time of Diagnosis
Hello. I have had PBC for just over 3 years. I have always had a very normal ALP. I've read that one of the hallmarks of PBC is an elevated ALP. I have positive AMA and other elevated liver enzymes, now normal with urso. Can you explain why my ALP is normal? What does that indicate?

Fibro, Buprenorphine Patches and CBD Oil
Is there anyone that can give me any good advice. Over a good many years I was on a cocktail of pain medications. In the last couple I have managed to take myself off the pills but still remain on the Buprenorphine patch and anti-depressants. Because of being unsure if the patch was actually working

TEST results from Gallbladder.
I had a Hipa test for gallbladder squeeze and it showed I have 18% function. Supposed to have 40-100%... BUT I now am wondering if anyone did a "cleanse" for sludge etc. I have not had an ultrasound for stones but in 2019 I did and there were none. No more attacks. and I am hoping to keep it that way

Fatty liver and gallstone 😳
Hi everyone I hope someone can give me some helpful advice as I am not getting it from my doctor or the hospital. I had a scan on my stomach as I was feeling nauseous every time I eaten anything so they found I had a fatty liver and a gallstone stuck at the top of my gallbladder but the surgeon said

Exercise with Gallstones
I'm wondering if anyone else has a similar experience? I've currently got Gallstones which has affected my Liver causing deranged blood results.

Kidney stones and ibs
I believe there’s a link between kidney stones and ibs and other troubles in this area. Over the last 18 months I’ve had 6 treatments of lithotripsy. Finally my last scan said they were clear. Hooray I thought, it was short lived as the rest of the letter informs me, “ we have noticed a little deterioration
