I had gallbladder removal in 2019 and still have chronic direahea and abdominal pain. all my gastroenterologist has done is put me on cholestromyne powder and dicocylcline and say take imodium as needed. this is not a long term solution?

Accepted Answer

This scenario can occur in some people after cholecystectomy and is believed to be caused by too much bile being released directly into the intestinal tract. Your gastroenterologist's advice sounds appropriate. Avoid caffeine, greasy foods,very sweet foods & dairy products which can aggravate the diarrhea. You may wish to seek a second opinion from another gastroenterologist as well.

I've been having abdominal pain, sometimes severe. follows eating. occurs with diarrhea (often) or constipation from imodium (loperamide). dr. not sure it's lupus ?

Accepted Answer

This sounds more like reflux (gerd), ulcer, or gastritis.   An allergic reaction to certain foods or a toxic reaction to certain food proteins (food protein enteropathy) is yet another possibility.  These symptoms are not typical for lupus.  See a gastroenterologist and/or allergist to sort it out.
