Does The Amount Of Bile Increase After Gall Bladder Removal?

I am a registered nurse so I have some insight into the workings of the human body but I have a condition and question Ii hope you can help me with.Post gallbladder removal does the amount of bile increase in the digestive tract and in the stool ? I have been suffering with anal/ rectal itch since having gallbladder surgery. I have seen an allergist, a dermatologist, a surgeon who cut the muscle surounding the anus because of fissures ( never had before the surgery ) have had a biopsy for lichen scleroses and had a biopsy to rule out crohns disease . I bought a bidet so I do not have to use toilet paper and it has reduced my daily use of clobetazol ......... is there medication i can take to neutralize the bile if bile is the problem............XXXX

Hello,

Gallbladder is an organ for the storage of bile only. It will not produce or destroy the bile.

So the amount of bile will be almost same even after gallbladder removal.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
