I cannot control my bowels and my stomach is sore. I have a conlonoscopy every 3 years. My apple yeas removed at age 10 and my gallbladder was removed from pregnancy induced gallbladder disease. I never know when my problem is going to hit me. I am now afraid to go out afraid I'll have an accident like I do many times. I have a job working for the public at a counter so I can't just leave. My nerves are shot when I have to go and clinch my butt in hopes I can hold it. Sometimes I have to run to the bathroom and customers Are left waiting. I have an FMLA case for this now and had to tell my boss that when I call I have to RUN right then. Is there a cure for this because it's just getting worse.

Have you used any anti diarrhea meds or medications to absorb bile after your surgery?

I have just started taking levsin since this past Monday. I don't know what I can eat so I'm just drinking tea and Gatorade and eating beans peas potatoes chicken nothing processed. I'm going to see a specialist in two weeks. I have a friend who has found safe has food allergies and has also had her gallbladder removed. She has to run to the bathroom with chronic diarrhea.

Yeah eat anything that will thicken up your stool. Potatoes and green bananas are very helpful. Fattening foods will most likely cause you more problems so is avoid them until you can get your diarrhea under control. You will probably need a bile medication like welchol.

Gall bladder removal can cause a condition called bile salt diarrhea. Simply search using that term and you will find articles describing the cause and treatment.

like taking cholestyramine has helped some for urgency
