A member asked:
I just got my gallbladder removed, but stomach still hurts not like the gallbladder. and every time it hurts i have diarrhea why is the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Various reasons: If you just had your gallbladder removed, you probably still have some surgical pain. This can be made worse when engaging in a variety of movements, including sitting for a bowel movement. And if you haven't had much solid food, your bowel movements can be loose. If the symptoms persist or worsen, give your surgeon a call. Rarely patients can develop a certain kind of diarrhea called "C diff".
