A member asked:
Will gallstones cause the pyloric valve to malfunction and cause bile reflux?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different organs: Gallstones are in the gallbladder. If this gets inflamed it can effect cystic and common bile ducts. It does does affect the pylorus which is in the stomach. Biliary reflux is different from gastric reflux. Biliary reflux means that once bile is in small bowel it moves back toward stomach instead of away.
