A member asked:
How can bacterial overgrowth, a common consequence of gastric syrgeries, lead to changes in bile acids that upset bile function?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bacterial overgrowth: When you have gastric surgery this stresses the bowel and can change the bacteria in the biofilm which lines the bowel. This different type of bacteria metabolizes the bile differently and this can upset the bodies ability to digest.
