Question

My wife went through gall bladder surgery back in 2014 for acute gall stone pancreatitis. Since then, all her blood tests and ultrasounds have come back normal, but she still sometimes gets really bad leg pain at night and in the morning. On top of that, she deals with loose motions and a burning stomach about once a week. Do you have any idea what could be causing these issues and how we can help her feel better?

Your wife's symptoms of severe leg pain at night and morning, along with weekly episodes of loose motions and burning stomach, could be related to her previous gallstone pancreatitis or gallbladder removal surgery; possible causes include pancreatic insufficiency, bile salt diarrhea, or fat malabsorption; consider consulting a gastroenterologist for further evaluation
