  2. Biliary reflux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biliary_reflux

    Biliary reflux can be confused with acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). While bile reflux involves fluid from the small intestine flowing into the stomach and esophagus, acid reflux is the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus. These conditions are often related, and differentiating between the two can be ...

  3. Bile acid malabsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bile_acid_malabsorption

    It has also been called bile acid-induced diarrhea, cholerheic or choleretic enteropathy, bile salt diarrhea or bile salt malabsorption. It can result from malabsorption secondary to gastrointestinal disease, or be a primary disorder, associated with excessive bile acid production. Treatment with bile acid sequestrants is often effective ...

  4. Postcholecystectomy syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcholecystectomy_syndrome

    From the gallbladder, bile enters the intestine in individual portions. In the absence of a gallbladder, bile enters the intestine constantly, but in small quantities. Thus, it may be insufficient for the digestion of fatty foods. Postcholecystectomy syndrome treatment depends on the identified violations that led to it.

  5. Nissen fundoplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissen_fundoplication

    This prevents the reflux of gastric acid (in GERD). Although antacids and PPI drug therapy can reduce the effects of reflux acid, successful surgical treatment has the advantage of eliminating drug side-effects and damaging effects from other components of reflux such as bile or gastric contents. [1]

  6. Cyclic vomiting syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_vomiting_syndrome

    Stomach acid, bile and, if the vomiting is severe, blood may be vomited. Some with the condition will ingest water to reduce the irritation of bile and acid on the esophagus during emesis. Between episodes, the affected individual is usually normal and healthy otherwise but can be in a weak state of fatigue or experience muscle pain. In ...

  7. Rumination syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumination_syndrome

    Unlike typical vomiting, regurgitation is typically described as effortless and unforced. [2] There is seldom nausea preceding the expulsion, and the undigested food lacks the bitter taste and odour of stomach acid and bile. [2] Symptoms can begin to manifest at any point from the ingestion of the meal to two hours thereafter. [3]

  8. Biliary dyskinesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biliary_dyskinesia

    When bile enters the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine), it aids in digesting the fat within food leaving the stomach. When the bile can not be properly propelled from the not-mechanically-obstructed gallbladder or can not flow out of the end of the common bile duct properly, there is a state of biliary dyskinesia.

  9. Esophageal motility disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophageal_motility_disorder

    There is no cure for EMD, but symptoms can be managed. Some symptom management includes eating slower and taking smaller bites; in some cases medications can be useful to manage other issues that contribute to EMD such as a proton pump inhibitor to ease gastroesophageal reflux (acid reflux), or a smooth muscle relaxant for issues with the muscles.
