A member asked:
What is bile gastritis & how is it treated? i had my gallbladder removed years ago.
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bile irritation : Since u don't have gallbladder, there is bile flowing through ur system all the time. Some will back up into stomach and cause irritation. Treatment is medication (carafate, cholestyramine, welchol, Reglan (metoclopramide) etc).

Medication: Bile gastritis is due to the bile reflux back into the stomach. Stomach is acidic where bile is basic. Regular gastritis is due to acid to cause the inflammation. Pepcid and Prilosec are medication for decrease the acid production which will not help for bile gastritis. Other medication can help the stomach emptying and push the bile out of the stomach like Reglan (metoclopramide) or carafate to coat the stomach.
