Not sure. Was your last scope done sometime after surgery? If so, your disease might be active and that might be why they couldn't get the scope all the way through. Your doctor would know best about that.

Hi John. I had a resection in 2012 and since then I've had issues with bile malabsorption. If your ileocaecal valve has been removed, that often leads to BAM. I find I can control it somewhat by avoiding food which is very greasy, oily or fatty. I haven't tried it myself, but a lot of people say that psyllium husk is a good and effective natural remedy for BAM.
