Given my gut issues lately I decided to try this just to see. The result was 9.0 was is highly alkaline according to the chart I had. Higher level than normal of course. I am trying to gain some control over this as I wait for my Mayo appointment in 2.5 months. I have posted earlier on having some level of bile reflux either caused on its own, or with gastroaparlesis. So.....what can I chose to eat that could help get this PH level down to normal? Even if it helps me a little bit it would be worth it.

Minnesota:

My concern would be that you may have a UTI, I would consult your doctor.

Does a higher PH level typically indicate that then?

Your urine value should be evaluated by a doctor, and not by an individual.

You can probably move the ph lower, at least temporarily, by consuming a lot of water. But there are diets specifically for people with no gall bladder. If you are not already on one, I would research that. But consult your doctor before making any radical changes.

Thank you for the advice. But, looks like bile is getting into my stomach and up the esophagus now with some new symptoms. Meeting with a GI surgeon tomorrow to revisit the roux en y procedure that I was delaying a couple months ago. Just too long in having to deal with this, plus i can't imaging bile getting up the esophagus can be good in the long term.

Unfortunately the wait to see a specialist can be frustratingly long. Without a gall bladder your liver will be making bile whenever you eat, so you can control that somewhat by diet. If it's getting into your stomach and you already have reflux issues, it can make it's way up to your esophagus - all the more reason for trying to limit bile production with diet until you can do something about the back flow through the Pyloric valve.

Good luck.

My diet right now is pretty basic....half my calories are liquid. Anything I eat now causes some level of discomfort and nausea. And I mean anything. The stinging and burning have gotten worse in the past 6 months, and the bravo test I had showed this moving upward. Even the R side of my chest is sore now. The GI surgeon said the Roux en Y would divert the bile away from the stomach and is his first thought at a surgical procedure that would provide the most relief. After 5 years of dealing with this I am ready for it. Have tried too many medications to count, as well as diet modifications. That, and the fact that this seems to be slowly getting worse has me thinking surgery.
