Gallbladder Removal And Inconvenient Bowel Movement/diarrhea
Posted: 11-09-05 18:18pm

Hello. It’s been 2.5 years since i’ve had my gallbladder removed and I have problems with bowel movement. Often I have diarrhea, but that’s not the extent of my problem. After about a year of problems after the surgery, I figured out that if I ate something first thing in the morning, this would cause a movement soon afterwards. And then for the rest of the day I wouldn’t have to worry about any “emergency movements”( the kind were it hits you like a ton of bricks soon after eating). Coffee worked best for this. This worked for quite a whine, but nowadays (the past month or 2) it no longer happens. I still drink coffee in the morning and then eat lunch around 11 and more often than not I do not go. But once I eat dinner at work (9pm ish), within 30 min I have to go and have serious pains.

I don’t know why this change has happened, but it is very inconvenient. I don’t know what I can do to lead a normal life, and I spent 4 hours reading the internet tonight and didn’t come up with all that many useful facts. Much information about gallbladder diets post removal contracts each other. Does anyone know what I can do to help this? Someone on a previous post said that medamusil helped them. Would this work for me?
