All blood tests are neg and my and ct s/p surgery shows a prominent common bile duct(10). I have been gluten free for 2 weeks although it doesn t seem to matter. I have lost 20 pounds. I am 5 4 1/2 and now weigh 103 pounds. I have an MRCP scheduled.. My soca look at me like I m crazy but I know what I feel is not right ... What else can I do to help myself? Thank you Emily
Dear Friend. Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern. It might be due to a stone in Common Bile duct, missed during surgery for Gall bladder. Getting MRCP is the best option to see for the cause. You should get it ASAP, to avoid complications like Obstructive jaundice and Acute Pancreatitis. This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask us Stay Healthy. Dr Anshul Varshney , MD
