Post Gall Bladder Removal

Post Gall Bladder Removal

Why am I still having severe diarrhea (burning and containing dark green/black mucus) 6 months after gall bladder removal.  The gall bladder was functioning at only 1%.  I also am dizzy most of the time.  I am 57 years old, female.  I take Hyzaar 100/25 and 20 mg Nadolol for familiar tremor.

You may want to consider following a low fat diet. You may not be able to process fats the way you did before surgery. In addition, you may have a fairly constant release of bile into the small intestine which can cause discomfort and result in cramping, gas, bloating and diarrhea.

If a low fat diet doesn't help, you may want to ask you doc if you can try a product like questran. It's a bile binding resin that can help.
