What Causes Stool Incontinence And Diarrhea After Gallbladder Removal?

I had my gall bladder removed about 6 months ago - multiple stones. I am a 63 year old female. I have been having some instances of urgent liquid stools - as this morning - hadn t eaten anything yet, but at 9:15 (beenup since 6:45) had an urgent trip with a liquid stool. Had lunch (burger) since then - no more BMs, but some gurgling is there anything I can take to make these not happen so urgently since I m going on vacation next week?

Hello,

You may be suffering from postcholecystectomy syndrome or irritable bowel syndrome in which, you may develop abdominal pain and increased bowel movements with fatty foods. Which is relieved by passing stools.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol.
Avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.
Avoid processed food.
Avoid lactose and gluten contain food.
Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week.

If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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

Regards,
