A member asked:
What can cause chronic constipation a whole year after gallbladder removal? i have tried miralax (polyethylene glycol) and other laxatives, nothing is working
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic contipation: is probably not related to gallbladder surgery. You need to see a doctor to make sure nothing else is going on.
