Gallbladder came out in May of 2015 and felt good for two months, but have been sick ever since. I have been to 4 major hospitals and had countless gastric, harmonal and glandular tests. Diagnosis is atypical reflux and gastritis. PPIs do not work. I do take Welchol and Carafate suspension.

My life has competely changed; I seldom am able to leave the house, and wonder if it will ever end. Has anyone had a similiar experience?

    Have you tried taking ox bile with your meals? It is highly recommended after gb surgery since you need the extra bile to digest fats. It really helps with nausea and digestion.

      No I haven't. I was under the impression that I had too much bile which is why I am taking Welchol which binds the bile and passes it out in the stool. Is this something you take even if you have too much bile?

      Rachael, how long have you had this? This is going on 22 months for me at least that's when the GB came out; then 2 good months and then it set in. I got down to 113 lbs from 138. In retrospect, I have to say that I am better, but I sure would like to be able to live a normal life again. I understand that many of us do, but some don't. 

      I do so appreciate this forum. It's therapeutic for me.

      Thank you for your reponse and suggestion.
