Biliary Dyskinesia

[Idiine]

My duaghter of 16 yrs of age has recently been told she has this and will be set up for surgery. She is functioning at 11%. It is my understanding that there is a chance that it will not take care of the pain and will have to change diets. But why is it that they just tell you would will have to have surgery and not explain to you why it is nessacary to have it?(which i found out through internet that it damages your liver and can cause liver failure) If it is parcally working, why remove it if you are taking the chance of still having the pain after removal?

At what point does it start affecting your liver and putting peramant damage, which in turn causing liver failure?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

A friend of mine had his g/b removed last year. nothing but problems since then.
He was hospitalized after this for a week or two with severe pains and other symptoms.
He's not very good with following up with supplements and natural remedies, however,
he modified his diet greatly.

There are many different experiences. Some people seem to do better than others
after their surgery.
My cousin cancelled his scheduled g/b operation on the advice of a mutual friend,
Chief chemist and micro- biologist at the same hospital! He did some holistic and preventive things and was fine after that, as far as I know.
What does your daughter think? Does she have severe pain and discomfort?
Is it  painful all the time or does it flair up after ingesting the "wrong" food?
Other serious side effects?
Perhaps this warrants, getting a second opinion. No need to rush her into surgery, if it is not an urgent health matter.
I would check with a naturopathic doctor, and seek out natural ways to get the bile
to flow, first.
If that doesn't work, then I would investigate further, the surgical option.
Someone had told me about success using acupuncture treatment. You may want to check that out as well.
Blessings to all, and Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms!

I was also diagnosed with this, does she have symptoms?  pain, nausea vomiting etc?  They told me they couldnt be sure id feel better, but after my gallbladder was removed, I continue to follow a low fat diet and all my symptoms have gone away i am very glad i went ahead with it.  I had mine out in January.  Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
