10 Choledocholithiasis Symptoms
Upper Gastrointestinal Issues
Because the gallbladder and its store of bile are key to healthy digestion, blockage of the common bile duct can cause several upper GI issues. These may include nausea, vomiting, gas and indigestion.
Indigestion or heartburn commonly occurs after the onset of choledocholithiasis, and many of these GI issues occur after a meal. Eating fatty foods may worsen GI symptoms, and not eating regularly may cause heartburn because gastric juices collect in the stomach and splash up into the esophagus.2‘Choledocholithiasis.’ https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000274.html
