Suggest Treatment For Stone In Bile Duct
I am experiencing an attach that believe is a stone in my bile duct as my gallbladder has already been removed ( 19 years ago). Is ther an immediate solution to stop the pain. I read that apple cider vinaigrette can help a gall stone attach. Can it help this too?

No medicine works for a stone in bile duct
If you suspect that you are having stone in bile duct, it needs to be confirmed on mrcp (mri scan for the bile duct).
If you have stone no medicine works.
It has to be removed out through an endoscopic procedure called ercp. It involves cutting a sphincter at the lower end of bile duct and removal of stone using a basket
Hope this would answer your question
Wish you a speedy recovery
