A member asked:

Recently diagnosed with gall stones. i've been experiencing diarrhea every day for a week. is this normal or should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consult your MD: Yes gall stones can cause diarrhea like loose watery and frequent stools due to inhibition of normal digestive process.Gall stones cause inflammation of gall bladder which causes inability og gall bladder to deliver bile to the small intestine.
