What Is The Cause Of Discomfort And Frequent Bowel Movements After Having Gall Bladder Removal Surgery?

My husband had gallbladder removal surgery on 12-7-12 and still no relief. He still has a lot of pain and discomfort in the area where the gallbladder was. He get pressure in the right upper quadrant after eating meals. He feels good when first waking in the morning, but as the days go and he eats then he gets sick. He has frequent bowel movements throughout the day. What could cause these symptoms to continue to occur?

Hi, diarrea and some of the symptoms you mention above are part of the so-called postcolecistectomy sindrome. With the passing of time usually they go decreasing and only in a few cases the remain for long. In your case I d'suggest Cholecysmon ater eating and Motilium if you haven't tried before.
