I can't do straight milk and have been using lactose milk for years. I have had kidney issues( stage3rd 3) IPMN, bleeding ulsers and other issues. The main thing is this nagging pain on my upper left side that they can never discover the cause and then brush off when tests come back neg. Recently had an MRI that showed a narrowing in my bile duct,( which has come up in past cat scans and Previous MRI) and they brush off and say it's stable... The pain mood swings, non sleep bowel change, weight up and down,non sleep and list can go on without mentioning my lab numbers.iwas scheduled for an EUC/ECRP then he canceled it as" he realized I was a gastric patient.. The pain is there and I am at a loss.. Something is wrong, I don't want anything serious to happen to me as I have a9 yr old to raise I'm only 60 What should I do?? Help me
Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar
The left upper side hurt may relate to bile duct narrowing. This tube carries bile from liver to intestines. Narrowing can block bile, causing pain, issues. Seek your gastroenterologist's advice. Perhaps get a specialist review, familiar with your gastric bypass surgery effects. They can recommend actions to ease symptoms, prevent complications.
