Episode Details

Daniel had his gallbladder out years ago and has been carrying bile reflux, bloating, and a stack of diagnoses ever since. After a holiday dinner of red wine and curry, he spent the night walking his apartment with acid in his throat and his teeth aching. This episode pulls apart what's actually happening: a chemical and motility problem downstream of losing an organ, plus a somatic one in how the diaphragm and abdominal wall move together — two different problems that keep getting treated as one. We look at why the PPI isn't failing so much as aimed elsewhere, why a negative gastric emptying test doesn't rule out postprandial distress syndrome, and what questions are worth bringing to the next appointment.
