A member asked:
I went to my doctor with stomach/back pains. he mentioned possible biliary colic. what is this and is it linked to lactose intolerance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no known association with lactose intolerance. Colic is a descriptive word for pain that waxes and wanes. Biliary implies the ducts around the gallbladder, bowel and pancreas. Sometimes gallstones can cause this pain. A good way of beginning to look for this problem is an ultrasound. The pain often occurs after a meal high in fat.
