Gallbladder removed, my body is not functioning as normal

Posted , 11 users are following.

Hi all, it has been 4 weeks since my gallbladder surgery,. I am light headed, unable to feel when I am hungry, cannot have a normal bowel movement without taking a laxative, gas pains that knock me to my knees, despite drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water I feel constant thirst and I eat a healthy diet. Lastly, I have painful episodes that feel like gallstone attacks.  My lab work is great, CAT and X-rays, nothing. I am taking pills for acid reflux.

is anyone experiencing or has experienced the symptoms I am going thru?

 

Thank you, for reading

    I'm sorry to report my surgery was about 10 yrs ago & I wasn't told about any side effects or special diet. I have been suffering with diarrhoea every single day whenever I eat or drink anything. Dr.s have known about my problems and no one has connected it to my gallbladder. It was only this week when talking to a friend & we were comparing experiences that I was prompted to do my own research. It's been a long unnecessary 10 years.
