Hi, sorry for your pain. Sometimes after your gall bladder is taken out, there is residue stones or junk left in your bile ducts. The pain feels just like a gall bladder attack. Check with your doctor again and if that is the problem, there is a procedure called an ERCP that they can perform on you to remove the stuff. Good luck.

I find that if I eat ice scream or something very oily I will often have pain similar to what I had before GB surgery. If there is a correlation with this for you as well you could try to avoid those type of foods. Licorice is another thing I cannot eat.

thank you for the responces. its anything i eat i get sick. my doctor prescribed me prilosec otc it did work for a week than started to get the same symptoms. does anybody know if it could be from having surgery and from having acid reflux? and one more question my mom told me to get protonix that it worked for her she said all the symptoms will disappear did anybody else try it and it worked for them?im sorry to be a pain its just im 24 years old and im getting sick of being sick i wish all this would just goaway. me and my fiance cant even go out to eat oranything because im always worriied if im gonna get sick. and im gonna call my doctor to see if they can do the ercp thank you.

I Had A Family Member Who Had The Same Problem After Gb Surgery, They Found Out Months Later, Months Too Late, That She Had Cancer Of The Pancreas. Same Story With A Co-workers Wife. The Symptoms Are The Same As Gall Blader Problems. Good Luck To You.
