| Re: Help with Sphincter of oddi II
I'm not well read on SOD, but I can't help but think thinning bile (making it more fluid) might help relieve sluggish bile flow through narrowed ducts (and sphincters).
Lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) is supposed to thin bile and help it flow easier. Lecithin is a fairly benign supplement, but you can get it from eggs if you or your doc doesn't approve of supplement use. The lecithin is in the yolk, so don't fool around with egg white omelettes & such. Real eggs, not overly cooked (sunny side up, soft scrambled, over easy or soft boiled) will provide ample lecithin.
You should notice a difference within 30 days if this is going to help. A web search for: Lecithin (and) cholestasis should show some results you might be interested in.
Each and every surgery can increase scarring and may be counterproductive, so you may want to consider erring on the conservative side regarding additional procedures.
Hope you get this resolved soon!
