Which medical treatment is best for indigestion problem after removal of gall bladder?

Maalox: It is not unusual for patients post-gallbladder surgery to have an issue with bile. Sometimes, bile refluxes into the stomach, causing a significant inflammation called gastritis. The stomach is designed to handle acidity. Bile is a base. The ingredient in maalox and Gaviscon counter-acts bile and usually will improve indigestion. Also, Questran and Colestid (colestipol) are helpful in pts. W/ diarrhea.

Time: Some patients may have a short term bowel irritability after gallbladder removal. This is almost always self-limiting--will pass in a short time. No treatment is usually the best for this. If it persists, further work-up to find a different source is necessary.
