AFTER EFFECTS OF GALLBLADDER REMOVAL

I also had my Gallbladder removed in 1983. 3 months after the birth of my daughter. I am also still having diarrhea off n on. And just resently, I,ve been seeing light colored stools. I also always have acid reflux. I get very bad pains in my stomach from the diarrhea. It doesn't get any better. 33 years later. Sorry.

Try probiotics and enzymes twice a day. Clean eating you will fill Vetter.

I had my gb surgery this past March. I know I'm not as experienced as some of you. But I wanted to share. The first few weeks after coming home from hospital were terribly painful. I was afraid to move, afraid of the shower because I didn't want to fall, afraid to sleep because when I switched positions it hurt. The after about six weeks, my bra didn't hurt me anymore and I could wear it for a couple of hours. I then had 2 episodes of explosive diarrhea, almost had accidents. Now I seem to only have bile diarrhea or I'm constipated. Pain in my low back, nausea, vomiting, pain on my right side, almost consistent burning reflux and gas, and hot flashes. I had a hysterectomy in 1985, I shouldn't be having hot flashes now. It does not matter what I eat, some days. I'm just so glad to read that I'm not the only person going through this weirdness. Thank you, for letting me vent. M. Grigsby

Try taking ox bile tablets (1 or 2 tablets) before you eat. This is found in the health food store.

Probiotics and enzymes will not work for this problem. You need to take ox bile tablets before you eat.

Take 1 or 2 ox bile tablets before you eat.

Hi,
Since this post is a year old, I hope someone can still reply.
I'm having identical symptoms. Only difference is constipation, but could be due to the pain meds. I'm 3 days post surgery and hoping this will all go away soon.
My diet consists of clear liquids and crackers. I eat small amounts several times a day because I too get pain if I eat too much or too heavy.
How long before you started feeling better? And, is this normal?

Sucralfate 1gm Tablets, Hyoscyamine 0.125mg Sublingual Tabs, and Ondansetron ODT 4mg Tablets; these 3 medications have saved me. I had gallbladder surgery 07/07/16 and I left the hospital in pain. In the past 3 weeks I was in the ER 3 times; luckily the last ER I went to, got it right and prescribed the medicines above, I had inflammation and the first 2 ER visits did CT scans and ultrasound and treated me like I was crazy and looking for pain meds. The last ER visit was a success and I am not on and don't need narcotic pain meds. The medicines above coated my stomach against the inflammation, gave me abdominal pain relief and stopped me from constantly throwing-up. Please ask your doctor about these medicines, I had severe pain in my right back and under my ribs and abdominal area; I was told time and time again it was CO2 gas from the surgery, it wasn't. I have missed work, without pay, scared to eat, would throw-up so much that there was nothing coming up but stomach acid. I never respond on these sites but I'm hoping my experience will help someone else and they too can find some relief. I'm still sore, and yes, I go to the bathroom constantly but the pain is gone. I am now suffering from severe hot flashes and I've been on estrogen for a few years, working on finding relief, hopefully my OB/GYN will prescribe either something different or a higher mg.

or you have cancer! or some other underlying issue like Hyperthyroidism!!! if untreated it can ruin your heart... that is a big weight loss for someone not trying to lose weight and eating the way you do, it is not just a miracle... you better get checked out!

Had my gallbladder removed 6 weeks ago. I have a bit of constipation but my concern is I have a horrible odor. I smell myself. My husband says he don't smell me. It's foul!!

Major problems after gallbladder surgery..please help :(

I had my gallbladder removed 5 weeks ago. I didn't have much of an appetite for about a week after. I made sure that my diet was very bland the first few days. For about a week i ate soups, sandwiches and a lot of fruit. I slowly began eating more foods and aside from a few stomach cramps after drinking coffee my diet is back to normal. I have noticed i no longer crave certain foods which has helped me loose weight. I feel great.

Hi,
I too had many stones in my gallbladder. I went to emergency room in great pain, had an ultrasound and it showed many stones. The doc gave me two phone numbers of two doctors to call to have my gallbladder removed a.s.a.p. I looked into alternative choices not wanting to lose an organ. I did a gallbladder flush - 1 1/2 days of pure apple juice (the foggy kind) then epsom salt water then olive oil with fresh lemon juice - sleep on right side - more epsom salt water in the am then passed hundreds of stones. They are softened - and are cholesterol stones I was told. All I know is the pain is gone , I can eat anything, I feel great! and I kept my organ. I'm a lay person not a doctor but I am healthy and got to keep my gall bladder. I just wanted to share with everyone. Lois

I'd love the information

I also had gall bladder removed. Loose stool after eating and dumping feeling at times. Keeping your liver healthy as it takes over the role for the gallbladder is important.

What I wish I had done early is go to a nutritionist and spa getaway to learn and detox my body fully, incorporate healthy lifestyle when I was younger before letting them nuke my thyroid, and later remove my gallbladder. Surgeons are plumbers not healers. They are needed to repair the body. However all medical practitioners are trying to make a living. Your in pain and want it yanked like a bad tooth ache.

Balance your body first with good lifestyle and you might ward off the plumbers. My next goal is to find a easy natural substance that works for binding. Read peer reviewed studies and research all. I am not a doctor but a clinical lab scientist in a hospital lab, I worked in diagnostic labs for 18 years before internet Google, then I worked for big pharma on the hospital sales of diagnostic instruments with an insight on the pharma world. I have learned you have to be your own advocate and be fully informed and question all options before you put yourself in a life long deficit by removal of a organ or gland. Is your long term health and life span with it. Remove the inflammation process and stop your body from turning on itself due to the c**p we all have eaten. Read the labels no chemicals, no trans fat, organic is best minimum foreign non natural products inside your body will reduce the inflammatory response. No Aspartamine No processed white sugar. Turn off the TV and do your homework keep a list of things you can improve on and a log of how you feel each week to see if you notice changes then add another item or change another lifestyle habit every 4 weeks until you notice the change you want in your life. If all that fails then go to the plumber. Gallbladder is needed of th good lord would not have put I there. Ask your internest or GI if they had there gall bladder removed.
