Does anyone here have suggestions for treating excessive production of bile?

What are you interpreting as "excessive production of bile"?

Octreotide can reduce production of digestive secetions but is only
indicated in bowel obstruction causing excessive vomiting

Frequently vomiting of bile, like some kind of overproduction.
Too much for being drained into the small intestine?
No clue why this happen since there is good bowel-passage (contrast xray).
"Octreotide" is not found in the catalog at the hospital?

(stomach and spleen removed)
CT shows no change in tumor size or any new tumortissue

She tried sandostatin last year, it didn't work and the surgeon at the other
hospital she went to said that sandostatin is working deeper in the bowel
