 [ Symptoms ] what are the causes of the flu [ Disease ] i had pigment gallstones which took about 10 years to be correctly diagnosed after my gall bladder was removed i occasionally had the same pain and so i had an e r c p which was clear when the specialist told me it was clear he then asked me if i ever took padenine to which i said yes he then asked if i had taken panadenine before my last attack to which i again answered yes he then gave me some interesting news telling me that some people have a reaction to codeine which causes biliary colic and i should try staying away from codeine that was 20 years ago and i have not had that pain again in all those years i thank my lucky stars for meeting that wonderful doctor i hope this may help some of you as it seems this problem is not so well known
