A member asked:
I am 10 weeks post gallbladder removal, still having occasional (3-5 times a week) yellow (bile) tinted loose stool. how long does this normally last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yellow bile : This can last for months as you do not have a storage container for your bile. Your liver now produces bile and secretes it directly into the gut as it is required.
