Why Am I Unable To Go For Bowel Movement Without A Colon Cleanser After Having Gallbladder Removed?

Ever since I got my gallblatter out three years ago I had to run to the bathroom after eating with in ten minutes. Now Recently I have been having pain in the my upper left abdomen around the area where the gallblatter was. It started like three days ago and I cant go to the bathroom unless I take Colon cleanser. I recently started taking fish oil and vitamin D I don't know if those effect anything!

Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).

1.Continue with high fiber diet (may be psyllium fibers) and lots of liquid in your diet
2.Take triphala powder one teaspoon with warm water or for better result mix it with honey and take it at time of sleep at night and one teaspoon in early morning empty stomach
3.Avoid foods that contain maida.
4. Take meals at least 2 hours before going to bed.
5. Take lots of fruits and vegetables daily
6. Add condiments like jeera, haldi and ajwain in your diet as these all help in digestion
7. take laxative for meanwhile like syrup cremaffin plus which is a combination of sodium picosulphate, milk of magnesia, and liquid paraffin

Both calcium and vitamin D can cause constipation and gastric upset so if feasible then avoid them
