Dr. Eric Chevlen answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Oncology

See oncologist: Possible causes include failure of peristalsis of small bowel, allowing bile reflux into stomach, partial obstruction of small bowel distal to where bile duct enters it, fistula (abnormal connection) between gall bladder and stomach, etc. Confer with your oncologist.
