I agree with you. I had mine removed July 31 and I have constant stinging burning sensation in lower abdomen or then it moves to my "privates". I ruled out a UTI, and I was taking meds for yeast infection that the ER detected. It's a constant irritation and has limited my life .

Do you take any supplements? bile salts, etc. I see on here that some people take them, but
I have no digestive issues. Watching my fats intake.

Yes I take digestive enzymes. I was first diagnosed (because of the diarrhea) with pancreatic insufficiency, but Mayo Clinic ruled that out after extensive testing. But when I thought that was it I was prescribed Zenpep (very expensive) so I found an alternative by Metagenics - SpectraZyme® Pancreatic Enzymes Extra Strength. Its a Bioactive pancreatic enzyme for digestive support. It DOES help.
