Is it safe to take imodium (loperamide) after gallbladder removed?

Likely: Recent surgery? If persistent diarrhea may need evaluation. Usually safe medication.

Codeine is similar: The Codeine you are currently taking has similar effects on slowing your bowel.Taking both may lead to constipation.

YES: When the gall bladder is removed, it is common to get loose stools as the body is trying to adjust to the changes. Most resolve on their own as the body adjusts. Some require antidiarrheals such as immodium. A rare few require medicine to bind the bile acids. The bile that is coming into the digestive system is what causes the loose stools. If it doesn't resolve, talk to your dr about an rx.
