Mrs.D.,

Thank you for the reply. I had my gall bladder removed and extensive work done to the sphincter of oddi back in 1986. I was only 24 years old. The sphincteroplasty made it such that bile dumps into my small intestine because the sphincter is always wide open...

Perhaps, that is the problem. I also had my jejunum attached to my stomach (duodenojejunostomy, 1990) because my superior mesenteric artery was compressing my duodenum and causing obstruction (called SMA syndrome). So who knows, lots of work done in the GI tract.

I wonder if the drug Welcho would interfere with the absorption of other meds I take. Thanks for the info, I will definitely look into it.
