A member asked:

After having a laparoscopic cholecystectomy i began having very bad diarrhea quite often. what can i do about it? my colonoscopy was normal.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Use cholestyramine: Diarrhea after gb removal can reflect 'bile salt' diarrhea. Cholestyramine binds the bile and relives the diarrhea. Use standard seize but build gradually to avoid - what else -constipation!
