thank you for posting query.
post cholecystectomy pain maybe due to stones in common bile duct OR increased fat intake OR functional pain.
need further evaluation.
advice:
- get an ultrasound (abdomen) to rule out any stone remnants in common bile duct
- also get a complete blood cell count(CBC) test
- avoid OILY food altogether
- for few weeks, you may need to take nexium/pantocid 40mg once daily before breakfast
- avoid eating stomach full and mouth full
- avoid spicy food
wish you good health.
further queries are welcomed.
wish you good health.
regards,
Dr Tayyab Malik
