A member asked:

Cholecystectomy several months ago. now burning chest and stomach. taking sucralfate but still burns. what other tests to check no bile leaks or stone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood tests: It would be very unlikely you have a bile leak after several months. A retained gallstone in the common duct is possible, but uncommon. Blood tests could help decide whether or not to pursue any further. Call your surgeon to discuss. Hope this helps!
