I had the same problem after having mine removed! their are certain foods we just cannot tolerate after surgery, remember your liver is now the filter, look it up on the internet, it will tell you everything the dr forgot to tell ya!!! whoa. I love chocolate, but I have to watch itnow, no more fried food, junk foods, fast foods, all is a no no!!!! smaller portions, eat very small and eat 4-5 meals a day,(very small), I try to eat oatmeal everyday, and I take psylium powder, it is great for the body, heart, and cholesterol!!!! it pushes the food thru faster and cleans out the digestive area very well!!! good luck you can get the psylium powder at any health food store!!! 1 heaping tsp in 5 oz's cranberry juice, drink it fast!!!

I was also told I had gall bladder problems but found out that I actually had H pylori (my gall bladder was none too good either as it turned out). Prilosec helped me emensely - it may help you too. The two, gall bladder problems and H pylori seem to hit people at the same time. Maybe ( and I am not a doctor) the bad acids from the gall bladder creates the right condition for the H pylori ( H-pylori - bacteria that lives in the stomach).
You can buy Prilosec over the counter - try it, it wont hurt you at all. If it works you can talk to your doctor cause even if its not H.pylori it could be an ulcer.

My better half's mom had hers bumped off years in the past. initially, she might desire to no longer consume plenty and had severe diarrhea. in actuality, she had it in my motor vehicle and interior the eating place. regrettably, her abode replaced into an hour away. As you could think of, it replaced right into a torturous journey back. It took me a month to get the scent out of my motor vehicle seat. To today, she nevertheless won't be able of consume specific meals. i think of a watchful low-fat weight loss software might help ease the subject.

The gassiness sounds like it could be GERD or acid reflux, but the diarrhea throws me off. I would speak to the doc and let them know that you are having these issues, it may just be something real simple like your diet. Please watch having alot of diarrhea as it is easy to dehydrate, especially when it is warm out.

For several years you cannot process fat without getting gas and diarrhea. So watch what you eat, especially fried and very fatty foods, switch to non fat or low fat dairy, etc and it should go away, but yeah, it took 2 or more years for my diarrhea to stop.

You definately need to have that checked out. You may also need to follow the diet plan you had prior to surgery. Good luck!
