A member asked:

What can be done to help with diarrhea after having your gallbladder removed? 1st bowel movement 4 days post op went from a little hard to diarrhea.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bile salt diarrhea?: Bile salt sequestrants may help, but "plugging up" diarrhea will not cure an infection, fix an inflammatory process, improve an ischemic gut, or correct a functional issue. Medical evaluation is recommended appropriate to the duration of your symptoms, associations (bleeding, weight loss, pain, vomiting), as well as your other medical co-morbidities. Call your doctor please and get checked.
