Guest guest Posted June 10, 2000 Report Share Posted June 10, 2000 I've been taking Actigall (bile salts) for about two weeks now and this apparently either produces or stimulates bile production. I have barfed a few times from eating too much or too fast and previously, there was no bile taste. Today, I ate cottage cheese for the first time (Breakstone small curd in the little 4 oz. containers). It was the first thing I had eaten today, other than my pills a couple of hours earlier. I ate two small bites, slowly, even chewing the cottage cheese, and promptly barfed, but it had a bile taste to it. So, I wondered whether this was the legendary " some people can't keep down dairy products " problem, or if it had something to do with the bile. I have had no problem with milk or yogurts, which are both dairy products. I think I had some cheese, too, oh yes, in those four loaded nacho chips I had from Taco Bell a week or so ago. So I doubted that dairy products were the culprit. So, when I finished barfing, I tried the cottage cheese again and was able to eat the rest of it (about 3 oz.), no problem. So at least *some* of the barfing is apparently caused by bile in the stomach and that is *probably* related to the Actigall. My Conclusion: If you barf and taste bile, it doesn't mean you can't tolerate the food that set off the barfing. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
