post gallbladder

[Cat05]

I have spent 25 years of my life living with daily diarrhea since they removed my gallbladder.
I'm one of those people whos stomach  needed the bile that was released after eatting.
Is there a pill out there that releases what the gallbladder did to stop this?

I use Xiloglucano that is an extract of beans that creates mucus to protect the rectum from the biliar salts not absorved on the ileum. You can find it in some countries under the name Gelsectan. Try the dose. It has no side effects I do not use resins because block the absorption of a lot of vitamins.

I had my gallbladder removed over a year ago.  I have the same problem.  I have found that a old cure for this type of problem that a Aunt has used for years is simple flour and water.  I mix 2 tsps of plain flour in a little warm water stir till no lumps and drink it down in a gulp.  Has worked wonders for me no more problem.

Everyone's body needs the bile to digest the fat they take in. If it just keeps 'washing though' as it does with many after GB surgery, it provokes the daily diarrhea you're experiencing.

If you want to try to tamp down the diarrhea you could try a couple of different thing. One is to decrease the amount of fat you take in. In addition, you could ask your doc if you could try some questran, or another form of bile-binding resin. Another thing to try might be Welchol.
