Problems since gallbladder removal in 1994
I am a 50 year old male, about 30 pounds overweight but otherwise healthy. In 1994 I had my gallbladder removed. Every since then I have been having spells of this strange illness. First, I start belching a
I just had mine removed yesterday..now the dr said you dont have to change your diet..but all the symptoms you are talking about are if you do eat things your body will now challenge...any kind of fatty foods. beef, hamburger, french fries milk products, ice cream butter etc.............will cause diarahrea and gas pain worse..your body will just send it out that way and cause discomfort ..even though some dr. dont believe in natural remedies..I went all over reading about how your diet should change..and it must change if you no longer have a gallbladder!
Hi everyone, I just wanted too say that I had problems with my gallbladder for a while. I mean really bad attacks that made me very nauseous and very sick. There are so many factors on why the gallbladder needs to come out. It think it has so much to do with our diet/lifestyle in the west. I say this because it is when we have surgery on certain parts within our body that we want to have to make very serious changes.
Now I go for surgery on 5-24-06. I had "dumping", gas and severe diarreah that makes me literally "push people out of the way to go the bathroom. Some times tmy bowel movements end up on my clothes and the bathroom floor now that's embrassing. LOL
So i have been experincing these same problems for years. I was mis-diagnoesed i was told i had to take "Nexium"??? that was 4 years ago. Then when i had a body scan done. My gallbladder would never show up. I did the liver cleasnse and it helped for a while but I had maybe over 50 gallstones. Ouch. I am so nervous about my surgery.
Now I spoken to two people who had their gallbladder removed
"david" who refuse to seek treatment, got his gallbladder removed and he was better and he has no problems. Now another perosn named "Tracey", had her gallbladder removed when she was get this five monthes pregnaunt. If the gallbladder is not working properly and making major problems for people for 5% of the population beacause my two friends had No diareah. I do not understand why do we not have other alternatives to treatment. I hope and pray my surguery will be a breeze. Thank you all for reading God bless.
I am having diraheah even before my surgery? I have 50 stones that is why it is comming out. I have attacks that are moderate and last for 6 hours.

I had my gallbladder removed (laproscopic (sp?)) several years ago. My experience:
There was NO pain whatsuever. I went right back to work the very next week ... and I had a job where I had to move around a lot. Actually, I remember telling a co-worker that the most pain I had experienced was when I removed the bandage that had stuck to my skin! There was no tenderness - - not even from day one. The incisions healed very quickly.
Now, as to the bowel problems and weight gain issues ... WHEW! I have never visited the bathroom so much inmy life! To this day ... 6 years later, I have to RUN RUN RUN to the bathroom with diarhhea every morning immediately after I take my first sip/bite of anything ... water, tea, toast, it don't matter: it comes out faster than it went in! My stomach cramps severely whenever I eat or drink anything. This continues until about 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon ... at which time I am free to eat or drink whatever I like (which is good, because I can pour down some spicy stuff!) In the evenings, I seem to have a cast iron stomach! Weird, huh???
I have been gaining weight since I had the surgery. I am now at somewhere around 230-240. What's really strange is that because of the diarrhea, I hardly eat a thing. My stomach has shrunk to the point where a kids burger fills me to the point where I feel like I will explode. I hardly consume any calories every day... but I am blowing up like a whale! I have never been able to get a doctor to listen to me ... I don't think they believe I hardly eat, even when my husband tells them! I have gotten to where I have no energy whatsoever and do not even feel like taking a short walk, much less excercise! I started out a size 10 at surgery, now I am a 20!
Some people may not think this gallbladder surgery is to blame, but through the years I haved met several women who have had the same exact problems as me. Both the diarrhea and the wieght. To be exact, I personaly know four other women who had the surgery, and three of them are just like me. Coincidence? Maybe, but I don't think so. I just wish I could get a doctor to listen/help!

No, I have nothing to help me so far. I just had another spell last week that lasted on and off for three days. And I am with you on going to bed and being better the next morning. Most of the time if and when I get to sleep, I feel much better the next day. My email is ***@**** if you wish to write.
I do not have the egg problem.Belching yes.Gas that smells bad yes.I've tried every over the counter pill and nothing seems to work.I'm bloated,belching,thinking I have to go just plain miserable.The only solution is to lie down and sleep.When I wake up it's not so bad but could start at anytime and I never know what causes it even after keeping track of what I eat.
