Any pains after certain meals?

[Guest guest]

Judging by what I know about this disease, I'm wondering whether eating

any extremely high-fat meals would cause any pain (or abnormally high

short-term liver damage)?

Does anyone (not on Urso) have any unusual pains after eating high fat

meals? I would imagine that more bile is required to breakdown food

with larger levels of fat. With PSC causing duct dilation, it seems

that the levels of bile being generated (and then restricted) in the

liver would increase as well. Thoughts?

i have psc and not uc or crohn's but i noticed that all of the people who had pains after eating high fat meals have a lot of pain. could it be from the other things, rather than psc? i have side pains myself almost all the time, but do take urso.See what's free at AOL.com.

My son is not on URSO

and does have pain after eating a high fat meal. Last weekend he went with us out to eat

and he ate fried catfish, fries, hush puppies, a piece of fried chicken and

cinnamon/apple fries. The next day

he told me “never again”!

He was up all night with cramping and diarrhea. I was a good mom and didn’t say;

told ya so (but wanted to). HTH

Haven't posted in a while, but popped in and caught your question. My

son (12yo) is not on URSO (yet) and gets upper abdominal cramping like

crazy if he's had a fat-laden meal. Before diagnosis when this

happened, we thought he was getting gas pains --he'd be up late into

the night miserable while one or both of us sat up with him 'til it

passed. After dx, I read or heard somewhere (can't remember where..

sorry) that a high-fat meal can be taxing on the liver and cause

abdominal pains in digestion. We realized that his 'episodes' in the

yr prior had to be due to that. Butter seems to be our son's worst

offender. We never cook in butter at home (have cooked in olive or

canola oil for yrs now) or 'fatten up' home-cooked meals, but our son's

cramping episodes always happened after we'd eaten out. Since dx, he's

only had one 'episode' where we didn't catch the buttery, fatty meal-

prep in time while eating out (at the hotel the conference was held at,

ironically ---our son's first night/morning there was miserable, b/c of

it unfortunately). If I can pinch the time, I'll look back over my

saved internet favorites on PSC and see if that's where I heard about

the upper abdominal pains in digesting a fatty meal. Sorry, I can't

remember it off-hand.

Not pains, but I certainly regret it later (call it a fast transit). I no

longer have a gallbladder, so that's probably the reason. If I keep fat gms

around 30-40, I'm fine. Note that a Culver's milkshake is about 30 gms by

itself (and 800 calories!).
