UC and gallbladder dyskinesia
Hi.
So, last year I got diagnosed with mild UC. Last week I started feeling a dull pain on my right side and my doctor found I have biliary dyskinesia. Nobody really explained anything to me. The doctor just said it was a 'cosmetic issue, but it certainly doesn't feel like that. I'm going for a second opinion next week.
Anyway, what is concerning me the most is what would happen if someday I have to remove my gallbladder. Is my UC going to get worse because all the bile is just seeping into my intestines? Does somebody here have any experience?
Hi
, thanks so much for reaching out. I haven't had an experience with this, but strongly urge you to bring these concerns up to your doctor. I'm glad to hear you're getting a second opinion. It certainly doesn't hurt to do so and ask a ALL the questions! Let us know how it goes! Thinking of you - Pam (team member) I know a fair few people that have had their gallbladder removed. None of them has ever said that they feel their IBD was worse after. Obviously, that is just a patient perspective and not a medical response!
