Cronic diahrea after gall bladder was removed

[crystalisfree]

I had my gall bladder removed aprox 2 months ago. Now i am unable to eat anything that does not upset my stomach and cause instant diahrea. I had a blood test done and stool sample done but all came back normal. I continue to be sick on a daly basis and do not seem to be getting better. sick to my stomach all the time unless my stomach is empty. Im just wondering is there any tests im missing or is this normal. What can i do??

I had my gb out 3 weeks ago and have the identical same syptoms. Went back to surgeon today who lectured me that I must be not following a low fat plan. I had Grape Nuts with skim milk and a peach hardly high fat breakfast and start getting quezzy after about an hour. Pain snd cramps have caused me to clamp my teeth together causing my jaw joint to ache. Dr. says it will get better. Has your syptoms improved any? If so what did you do or have done? Dr put me on pill for GERD and still my nausea pill. I'm getting worried after reading some of these accounts after the GB surgery.  Hope you are improving any info would be appreciated.

Thank,

linda

You may want to consider following a very low fat diet and see if that helps. Many people are unable to process fats the way they did before the surgery and it may take awhile to make an adjustment.

If you can't get the diarreha under control, you may want to talk to your doc about using a bile-binding resin like questran or a product like Welchol.
