Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
First, you need to change your diet, reduce fats and fried food and have smaller and more often meals. Second, you should take "Kreon" pills and ursodeoxicoli acid , this will help with digestion and symptoms. Also, spasmodics may be beneficial. Surgery is required to see what is going on If there is just benign stricture then it can be easily managed but if there is tumor or stone as a underlying cause then some more extensive procedures are necessary such as biliodigestive anastomosis or metalic stent placement or t tube drainage. In every case, it may cause some problems in future if this is not treated.
