A member asked:
Gallbladder removed 12 weeks ago. when i eat meat, i often find small specks / flakes of undigested meat in my stool. why would that be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Body adjusting: After gallbladder removal it is typical to have changes in bowel habits. The body no longer has an instant reservoir of bile when a fatty meal is consumed. Patients may experience bloating, diarrhea or fatty stools for several weeks or even months as the liver accommodates.
