No Relief

[browneyes1981]

I am a 27 year old woman with no relief from my gallbladder surgery. I'm still having "dumping syndrome" and all the scopes run inside my body have come up with nothing. I'm still hurting in that same spot. I'm confused. Please help.

I find that fatty meals do this to me since after having my gallbladder removed. I too thought maybe I have the "dumping syndrome" because it's been happening to me more to often lately. Has your doctor talked to you about taking a probiotic? It might help.

Have you moved to a low fat diet?

First, how long ago was the surgery?

Now, dumping syndrome is not normally a side effect of cholecystectomy. Diarrhea, particularly after fatty meals, and some pain may be, but dumping syndrome is something completely different, where the food exits your stomach too quickly. Is that what's going on?

Also, you mention ongoing pain. Have your docs checked yet for SOD (Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction)? If not, have them give you an MRCP (not an ERCP) to see whether this is the case. Make sure you find someone VERY experienced in doing these procedures.

Good luck.
