A member asked:
What to do if i have had my galbladder taken out 3 years ago and i can't work bc i use the bathroom on myself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bile sequestrant: Some patients experience increased intestinal motility after gallbladder surgery from the steady secretion of bile into the duodenum. There are medications known as bile binding agents or bile acid sequestrants (such as Questran (cholestyramine) ) that can slow this down and may definitely help with loose stools. Talk to your surgeon or gastroenterologist.
