A member asked:
Last year i had my gulllbladder removed. after that i've had diarrhea daily. its not pleasant. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post-cholecystectomy: Gallbladder removal may result in a secretory diarrhea due to excess bile salts in the GI tract. Although the temporal relationship between the beginning of your diarrhea and the surgery would suggest this diagnosis, i would need to gather more information to exclude other possibilities. A GI doctor or your surgeon may be able to recommend treatment measures or a bile salt/acid binding resin.
