Hi Leni,
What sort of symptoms do you have? were is the pain located?Just wondering is bile gastritis were the bile irritates the duodenum. I have an acid pain everyday around what I think is the top of the duodenum and wondering if it's duodenitis? have you had an endoscopy?.... Prays to all :)

Hi Leni. My heart goes out to you. I dont have any knowledge of this issue. Buf I would just try the least invasive methods first. If all exhausted ask your doctor if you can speak to a few people who have had the procedure to help you make your decision. Take care I wish you healing.

Hi, thank you for both replies. The pain I experienced is located at the top of my stomach and is a pain that comes and go but it’s always there. It feels as it’s inflamed and tender to touch. I’ve had several endoscopies and the last one showed lots of bile in the stomach and inflammation. The pain was horrific to the point of waking me up during my sleep. H.pylori bacteria negative. The only treatment suggested was Sucralfate ( cytoprotective medicine) which is very good and I would suggest Boobear to try if you have duodenitis because it will protect your gut lining and allowing it to heal. It’s used for ulcers as well. I take the oral suspension coats the stomach better I think. I’ve spoken through Facebook with few people that have had the surgery to divert the bile away from the stomach and i went to see apparently the only surgeon that does this type surgery in the UK. He told me what involves and it’s a drastic change on your digestive system that can potentially cause other problems. It’s hard to decide what to do but I’m in pain and also depressed too with this and other medical problem I’m dealing at same time ( bilateral hip arthritis) I’m only 42 and I have a 4 year old daughter so I need to keep strong in my mind that something will change but for better sometime in near future. Thank you so much for replying to my post.

Carafate
Bile Acid Binder - questran
Digestive Enzymes - Ones containing HCL and no ox-bile
Anti-depressant - opinional

If you're on a PPI, you may want to stop that. PPI's will worsen the condition. Bile reflux is a condition that affects your digestion. Bile in the stomach is neutralizing the acid that your stomach produces to digest your food and prohibiting proper digestion. Food ends up fermenting in the stomach causing indigestion, heartburn, nausea, etc. In other words, you're suffering from 'low stomach acid.' Get the acid production in your stomach going, which why I recommend the digestive enzymes. Taking a bile acid binder could help cutting back on the amount of bile refluxing into the stomach. Carafate to protect the lining and a anti-depressant to help deal with the pain. If all fails, then the surgery is your only option. Here in the states, a duodenal switch is fairly common. If it came to it, you could have the surgery here with more experienced surgeons. It would be worth it, Better than feeling miserable all the time.

I agree with Oculus. However you should not take HCL when on a PPI. You should also not take HCL without a physician's supervision. I suugest seeking out an integrative dr for assistance with your issues if you would like to take a non-surgical approach. best wishes!
