My gall bladder surgery was two weeks ago. i have days of regular bowel movements and days of urgent diarrhea 1 hour after meal. how long will it last?

Avoid fat: Many people have diarrhea after gallbladder surgery. bile is added to the intestinal contents after a meal when the gallbladder ontracts,. The bile helps break down (emulsify) fat in order for it to be absorbed. Now that you don't have a gallbladder fats are harder to absorb. i would avoid high fat foods and increase your fiber intake. this should help

Diarrhea: This is very common after gallbladder surgery and is usually self limiting and usually disappears in 5 to 6 weeks

Not sure: I am not sure if the urgent diarrhea is related to the gall bladder surgery 2 weeks.ago.It is possible that you may have IBS(irritable bowel syndrome)which is helped by high fiber diet &/or OTC medicine like metamucil.Check with your family doctor who mad recommend a GI specialist if high fiber diet does not help. I hope this has helped.Wish you the best.

It turns out...: Your diarrhea may be related to your cholecystectomy. (We see it fairly commonly.) Typically this resolves within 2-4 weeks, and we hypothesize that it's due to the fact you don't have bile reserved to process fat (gallbladder stores and concentrates bile)--although no one is sure if that's exactly the reason. This resolves with time, and to help we usually recommend avoiding fatty, spicy foods.
