Bowel Movementssss

[Meredithmil]

I have excessive bowel movements (3-4X daily) with urgency.  Is this due to cholecystectomy or diet?

I had my gallbladder removed about 6 years ago and I was going at least 6 to 12 times a day and when I had to go I had to go now! Very urgent.  I went to my family doc and he said I needed to bulk up with fiber. I didn't think that would help but I tried it.  Tried a lot of things that didn't work. I then tried Cholestyramine. That helped with the urgency but I was still going 5 to 8 times a day.  I then found this guys website where he has this ebook or report on diarrhea after gallbladder surgery.  I bought it and I haven't had a problem since.  He also recomends Cholestyramine and then certain diet practices.  Actually I'm able to eat just about everything I once could.  I didn't think I'd ever get back to normal again.

After gallbladder surgery it's typically due to an inability to process fats in the same manner as prior to surgery. A low fat diet may be helpful.
