Are Diarrhea, Flatulence And Bloating Normal After Gall Bladder Removal?
Question: I recently had my Gall Bladder removed, I am experiencing mild diarrhea like symptoms, such as gas and bloating. It seems to be increasing is there medicine I can take or do I need to see my doctor?
Brief Answer:
Avoid overly fatty meals!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Following gall bladder removal, digestion of fatty meals becomes a lot more problematic. That is probably what you must have experienced. I will suggest that you avoid excess fats in diet as this would be digested with great difficulties and cause similar symptoms. There is no reason to see a doctor at this time because of this pains.
I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information or clarifications if need be.
