Is Ejection Fraction Of 10% Cause For Concern?
My husband is taking cholestyramide and he has a lots of stomach pain after bowel movements. He lost 65 pound since may 2015.The gi doctor gave the medicine because he had diarrea.August last year he had the gallblader removed because he had low ejection fraction, 10% only. I think the bile can not pass.

Hello,
That's really low. It is certainly an indication the gall bladder isn't working. It doesn't necessarily mean it has to come out but mostly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
