Duodenitis after Orlistat

Has anyone had problems after taking orlistat with lasting soreness or gall bladder pain?  I took it for six months a couple of years ago and have had problems on and off ever since, having to be very careful not to eat anything with a high fat content because it causes me such a lot of pain and discomfort. I have had an endoscopy which showed soreness and was put on to omaprazole.  When I asked the consultant if it might have anything to do with taking orlistat he just said, that these drugs are very strong and powerful and wouldn't be drawn any further.  Has anyone had similar problems?
