Bella doesn't have a liver shunt; I can't tell you how relieved I am.
Dr Perez thinks she initially had a bug of some sort that caused her to vomit the bile. She explained to me when the blood is drawn, if it's not done just right the billirubin bursts & causes the numbers to be wrong. That's why she wanted us to redo the predental bloodwork & it came out normal both fasting & after she ate. She said this happens a lot so when she sees a patient with a high bile acid test result she asks the owners to take it over if as in Bella's case there's no other symtoms of ls.
