Question about bowel movements
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi everyone. I am due to have my gallbladder out tomorrow after having 2-3 gallbladder episodes a year. The last one seemed to be a little worse. so, I decided it was time. In the past when i would have an attack my bowel movements never were affected with the exception of some lighter color stool rarely. But, since the last episode 3 months ago i have had more frequent movements and always diarrhea. (or very soft, no form) I assume this means my gb is not functioning. i am not in any pain. Did anyone else experience this? I just want to be reassured i guess that it's probably related and not something else. Thank you!

I had diarrhoea bad before my op in December last year.
Can eat what I want now, but still get bad diarrhoea when I eat anything high fat.

yes when my gallbladder acted up i had severe diarrhea, and i now deal with severe constipated couple weeks before removal and still dealing with it even after removal and now i deal with IBS. if your gallbladder no longer works u have bowel issues too even a flare up causes it

limit your fat intake that should help

the crazy thing about all this is that I've never had any symptoms after eating something fat...i have always heard stay away from fatty foods. but, i can eat pizza with grease dripping off of it or a big cheeseburger and fries and be fine. The only thing I ever thought sort of bothered it was vegetables. (as far as pain goes). so weird
