This has been fairly recent, so I don't have a whole lot of info for you <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> . I had my gallbladder out 19 years ago, and told them I was still having the same stomach aches, and that I had seen something on tv that said it could be garbage still left in the bile duct. They told me that that couldn't be it; have some enzymes. Worse stomach aches.
Fast forward 16 years: I'm in for a tune up after having our baby, and they send me to get some tests and scans since I am there anyways and my liver levels came back slightly elevated. Lo and behold- stone in my bile duct and panceratitis. Get that taken out and the panceratisits taken care of. Go on ursidol.
Last year I went to the er with stomach pains- liver infection and- stones. 8 days in ICU, 13 in the hospital. Go to my present GI doctor, he ups my ursidiol (600 mg?2x/day, lessens the # of times I have to take it, diagnosises me with the H Pylori, says I have some inflamation according to the numbers he got back from my blood test, but they are numbers he can live with. Tells me to drink more water. Calls back after my follow up appointment, and says inflamation is much improved <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> . That's about it. I did find in my reading that a lot more cf's have liver disease than realize it, because once it finally shows up in the blood tests, it is pretty far along. I have another appointment in April; I'll let you know how it goes <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> .
