What Causes Bile Duct Block With Fat Food Intolerance?

I have had an ultrasound, which shows I have gallstones, an enlarged spleen, at 14.3cm & a slightly enlarged, maybe blocked bile duct, & a hyperechoic linea structure? Adjacent to the gall bladder wall, I feel very tired all the time, & can't tolerate any fat in my diet at all, not even gravy on my dinner. My blood tests showed ALTs of 119, do you have any idea of what the problem could be apart from gallstone? Thank you

Small gallstones can escape from the gallbladder and cause blockages of the large bile ducts coming from the liver. ERCP may be needed to clear these stones prior to having the gallbladder removed.
