hello dear,

i came across many patients of post cholecystectomy discomfort in upper abdomen which is mostly due to gastritis and bile reflux in stomach.

i am treating these patients symptomatically with protone pump inhibitors like rabiprazole 20 mg twice a day and ursochol 300 mg for twice a days for 7 days

i also advice them for life style change like aviod fatty and spicy food.

it helps in most of people.

still discomfort persists then i order ultrasound abdomen and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and treat accordingly.
hope i satisfied your queries.
I find this answer helpful
