A member asked:

I had my gallbladder removed aprox. 3 years ago, and every time i eat i have to go to the bathroom. i have no clue what is going on.?

Diarrhea?: After the gallbladder is removed the bile flows into the intestine on a continual basis. This causes irritation and frequent trips to bathroom. I recommend my patients to adhere to a low fat diet for 4-6 weeks after gallbladder surgery to give the body a chance to adapt to lack of gall bladder.
