I am 24 and had my gallbladder removed 2
years ago. Since then I have horrible
abdominal cramps and diarrhea that really
burns everytime I eat. Has anyone else
experienced this? I am a nurse and new
this might happen for awhile but 2
years!!!! I have a hard time going out to
eat or even eating at work. I had a
colonoscopy recently which was normal and
the gi said irritable bowel syndrome.
Does anyone else have anything like this?
I also developed bladder problems right
around the same time my gallbladder went
bad. The best way to describe it is it's
like a urinary tract infection only no
bacteria shows up in my urine or on a
culture. I thought it was odd that both
problems developed at the same time. Has
anyone else experienced this? Thanks for
any info.

Check This Out Maybe Posted: 09-03-04 17:27pm
I have heard of people having this problem
after gallbladder surgery. Not many do,
but some unlucky ones do. I am supposed
to have surgery and that is the one thing
that scares me about it. There is a
forum at curezone.Com for gallbladder
surgery. Many people there have the same
problems and can probably give you some
suggestions on how to fix it. Good luck!

Hi, I had my gall bladder removed
thanksgiving of last year, and I too
sometimes have "the runs" right after a
meal, and mine has been almost a year. I
had bladder problems mostly what seemed
like yeast infections, but after I had it
removed it has not bothered me since.
Hang in there on the stomach thing, I know
it's frustrating and sometimes
embarrassing but at least you are not
sicker with a ruptured gall bladder. Try
to look on the bright side of every cloud.

Diarrhea Relief Posted: 10-12-04 09:55am
After having my gallbladder removed about
2 years ago, I also had terrible diarrhea.
My gastroenterologist put me on a drug
called colestid, which is actually used to
lower cholesterol. From the first day I
took it, the diarrhea was gone. I take
it every day now and am doing fine. If I
miss a day, the diarrhea comes right back,
so I call it my "miracle drug".

sometimes I think surgeons are too
quick to remove a gallbladder, without
looking into other causes of the symtoms,
such as irritable bowel.

I had mine removed over twenty years ago
and I still have problems, I think a lot
of my problem is just nerves, as I also
have a lot of other medical problems.
Plus I get so tired of dr's. Not knowing
what the problem really is so they just
call it a blank blank syndrome.
Sincerely
sandy
