What Causes Explosive Diarrhea And Extreme Flatulence After Laparoscopy?
Question: My doctor cut my liver and liver duct while doing laparascopic surgery to repair a hiatal hernia over 2 yrs ago and I have suffered daily bouts of explosive diarrhea and extreme flatulence every day since then. What is wrong and how can I fix it?
Brief Answer:
Please upload any test report you might have..
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
You are reporting to have repaired hiatal hernia 2 years ago. At the same time, you are reporting that your doctor cut your liver and liver duct while doing laparascopy.
Do you have any reports of the laparoscopic intervention or other tests you have done? I need to see the procedure in details before running into final conclusions.
What you are describing makes me think that your doctor has taken your gallbladder off. This explains your symptoms (explosive diarrhea and extreme flatulence).
I advise to:
- take simethicone to reduce bloatiness
- be careful with foods/drinks you consume (follow a strict diet regimen)
- consult with a GI specialist and with the surgeon who ran the surgery to understand why you are having diarrhea and to treat the cause properly.
Once again, please upload any test reports you might have, so I can analyze your case further and determine why you are having such symptoms.
Looking forward to have the requested reports in!
