Ok..Now it's NOT a striture!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone, Well I did get the results back from the GP who said it was a stricture but when I went to the specialist on Friday..he said it wasn't and he did a complete history and exam. There is some "moderate" acid reflux present...I read the report. But he feels it is a "mobility" issue , in that things are backing up becuase I am not REGULAR and hence the gas, PAIN...bloating, PAIN...and so on right after I eat. He is doing a trial of ZELNORM with me and apparently that treats bloating, cramps and constipation in women. I should take it for 12 weeks and I see him in 8. He is also going to order an MRI because he wants to check everything else but he is doubtful it is gallstones caught in a bile duct. I had my gall bladder out but he said it is rare but possible for some people to get a gallstone in a bile duct even when they have no gall bladder. Liquids are fine but solids....OH MY GOSH.....I just can't eat more than 4 crackers with cheese or I will literally double in pain about 20 minutes after and the pain stays with me for up to 2 hours. I can eat thick soups, yogart, even with a little granola sprinkled on top,,,all other liquids but not heavy stuff. I do hope this medication works. Happy Weekend to all... Hugs Karen 290 - 159- 149
