After a week I started experiencing severe pain on my right hand side. I called my gastroenterologist and he told me

Can there be a delay in postcholecystectomy problems?
I had my surgery in October 2017 when I had a gangrenous gallbladder. It was open chest surgery and I had a stent put in my bile duct. I have been experiencing some pain by my scar site in the upper right abdomen and the abdomen feels swollen. I wonder if it can be connected

The Itch and goose bumps or shivers

Possible gall stones
I am waiting for an ultrasound scan for suspected gallstones. Has anybody lost weight with gallstones? I have modified my diet and cut out fats, rice, pasta and other foods that seem to provoke an attack.

URSO and fluctuating results
Hi... my wife was diagnosed with PBC last year and started on URSO 9 months ago. Her first results were excellent, but her recent blood test showed a small elevation in her ALK/ALT. IS it normal for your readings to fluctuate on URSO? Are there foods or medications that interact with URSO that we should
