A member asked:
Is it normal to have to fart a lot post-op gallbladder removal. i have not had a bowel movement yet so could be due to that. i am eating low-fat food?

Flatulence: Flatulence is nonspecific and perhaps your digestive system has been altered after gall bladder removal. Avoid gassy foods, very harsh roughshod, carbonated drinks and take simethicone 1/2 hour after meals to prevent gas buildup.If constipation becomes problematic drink adequate fluids and try taking a gentle stimulant with stool softener like senokotS daily.
