Hello all,
I have had the worst week for sometime since I had my gallbladder removed over a year and a half ago, I wanted to ask anyone else there experiences after a year or more after the removal of your gallbladder.
I usually get alot of wind because I suffer from IBS aswell as a hiatel hernia, last week I was eating what seems to be now a half cooked pizza, now not sure if this affected me but the next day I was in very much uncontrolable stomach pain and diahorea for which I am still suffering from five days later. I had what I can only describe as shooting pains in my stomach followed by uncontrolable diahorea, I could not face a meal or even feel well to look after my three month old daughter and had to call a friend to sit with my daughter until my wife returned from work.
I felt like my stomach was flushing, what I mean is it felt like all my contents inside were flushing around and then I passed a motion, the motions got more frequent to which I was going six times a day, this turned to water based diahorea (sorry for all the description), anyway now I am at a stage whenever I eat about an hour or so after I have to pass it out, this is worrying me and I have never had this after the operation, I have always suffered from diahorea but this is something new.
Can anyone relate to what I am saying, I am now worried to go out the house incase I poo myself that is how bad it is, I am hoping it will pass and think I could have caught a cold or the pizza was uncooked enough to give me a problem.
Thanks for any replies in advance

I have found after having my gall bladder out in 1989 that pizza and some dairy products take a long time to digest so I try to stay clear of them also with Chinese food it seems my stomach has a harder time trying to digest them, I also have a floating Hiatel hernia
Hi there, I think it's the grease in the pizza that can set off your stomach based on gallbladder surgery. Have you tried scaling back on that? I think it's a good idea. What do you think?
I had gallbladder removal surgery about a year and a half ago, and my stomach has never been the same since the surgery. I have a very hard time with digesting period. Dairy foods, fast foods and fried foods are the worst. It seems to take me days to feel better after eating certain meals. Was in the hospital 10 different times within 3 months of the surgery with severe stomach pains where I couldn't even move. The doctors said he didnt see anything wrong. I am still having bad pains in my stomach every so often.
had my gall bladder removed about 18 months ago. Can relate to having to be near a loo about an hour after eating. but am the opposite if I don't drink at least 1 litre each day. I get constipated which causes more pain than usual. I also have an enlarged liver so do not know if this contributes to problems. I suffer very badly with serious burping all day every day and cannot bend without getting bad acid reflux and feeling sick. I take anti acid tablets from the doctor and also anti depressants plus pain killers. Nothing really helps so I think it's necessary to find what works for you. Personally I have given up cakes, biscuits, bread, alcahol ........
