Hello,

It looks like PCS, Postcholecystectomy syndrome. It commonly occurs due to some pathology in the biliary system(retained calculi, tumors, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction) or due to some non-biliary cause eg, gastritis, diarrhea. You may experience symptoms due to developing pancreatitis or gastresophageal ulcer or IBS.

You are suggested to get re-examined by your surgeon & get a follow-up treatment done. You may have to go through some blood workouts or investigations like MRCP/ERCP, USG of the right upper quadrant, etc.

Your treatment will depend upon the severity of your pathology detected. In the meantime, you can take antacids & PPI's to get relieved.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
