What Causes Loose Jelly Like Bowel Movements After Gallbladder Surgery?
Question: I had an ERCP a few days ago and was released to home after a stent was placed in my gallbladder. I have experienced loose jelly-like stool since. This stool was examined regularly while at hospital and nothing was said. Is this an indication of bleeding?
Brief Answer:
No!!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
I have reviewed this information fully. It is not a sign of bleeding. Bleeding would rather present with black tarry stools. For now, monitor only and this should return to normal as it is more of a transient change than an ongoing disease or complication.
Keep me updated. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
