I can't believe that this kind of things can happen in modern medicine. I had pain in my abdomen. It has lasted for a few months. Eventually doctors told me that I have to remove my gallbladder. The procedure was successful. But a week later symptoms has returned. Now, they say that I have sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. I can't believe this is happening! What now?

Well, I can tell you that you are not the only one. The same thing has happened to me. They had removed my gallbladder and later they found out that the problem is in sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. First thing you have to do is ERCP. On that way you can test the duct that releases the bile in small bowel. The problem is in ducts misfunctions and in that way it holds back the bile from the liver and it causes the pain.

I know it is a while ago but how did you get on with your problem. I am having problems after removal of gallbladder and feel very defeated.
