Re: Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction

I don't even know what the term means, let alone know what any surgery proposes to 'fix'.

I have read some on the Internet about an in-depth study done by a doctor on how the valve/organs function with many pressures given and explained, but usually even the graphics are unclear about where it is and what is connected to what, and why.

Personally, I wouldn't let anyone with a scalpel within a mile of mine.

How anyone can remove a gallbladder, in good conscience, I'll never know.

It would be far better to remove any stones or debris, I would think.


At one point it seemed as though there was danger in letting bile touch any tissue not designed for it, however, now, they seem to cut indiscriminately.


One would guess that large stones would block the Sphincter of Oddi, yet even the largest seem to pass without much 'trouble'.


My own first stone passed spontaneously after a 350 mile jiggly car ride. I didn't feel it at all, only a little nauseous at the last, but I caught a glimpse of it between fluffy yellow orange and yellowish stool, as I flushed.

The stone was the size and shape of a pullet egg. It was black, flecked with kelly green, and very smooth.

I thought the smoothness was significant in its passing. Yet I haven't seen others writing of similar experiences.

I haven't met a medical doctor I'd be comfortable discussing it with...nor some other exceptional events I've experienced.

I understand to a point. But only to a point.


I believe the answers lie in small (1 cup) coffee enemas, from all I've read.

...Eight in one week, with two on the first day. Once I have done them I will probably have other opinions.


That's as far as my thinking has gone.
