stone in bile duct?

stone in bile duct?

I am an obese person, who formerly went through weight loss surgery and had to have it reversed due to complications . My gall bladder was removed at the time. This was many years ago.The gall bladder was non functioning and plugged with stones. The past three months, I have been experiencing large quantities of obnoxious gas with either diareaha or constipation and pain high up under my right rib. I am experiencing nausea mostly mornings and do not feel well anytime.The nausea is getting to be all the time now.I feel quivering or shaking inside alot.I have been in and out of hospital with bowel obstructions due to scar tissuse issues from the weight loss surgery as well. This pain reminds me of when I had gall stones, other symtoms (symptoms) as well, Stool is very pale. I am 59 years old. Treatment?

If your stool is very pale you could be experiencing either a stone in the common bile duct, or perhaps sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD). Either way, you need to go to your doc and have some tests run. You do not want to end up with pancreatitis, which can happen with either of those problems.
