I had gastrojenunostomy and had the same results. My PA recommended Creon to get the enzymes I needed and it worked. Note: Creon is terribly expensive. I found the near equivalent medication at Natural Grocers to be effective and affordable.

Thanks Colleen Young - I'm considering. Very useful site!

I had the same result. I cut out anything greasy, spicy. I had to limit coffee. One day I could tolerate it , the next day - very uncomortable I also ate pretty small portions of food. Look up for foods list NOT to consume, and what was OK. My doctor also perscribed some pills. I also drank 'pedialite' type drinks. Amazon sells them as powder to add to water. They aren't exactly cheap either.
For me, this went on for almost a year. Try removing one food at a time for a few days. My anxiety also effects bouts of diarrhea.

I also went for walks = helps aid digestion. Also helps pass gas. Anytime I had to 'fart' I was always worried if it would be just air, or with liguid.

Diarrhea is a common side effect after gallbladder removal surgery. It's caused by the release of bile directly into the intestines, which can act as a laxative.
Causes
Bile: Without the gallbladder to store bile, more bile enters the intestines, especially after eating
Fat: Eating large amounts of fat at once can cause diarrhea
Gut microbiota: The change in bile acids and intestinal microbes after surgery may contribute to diarrhea
Treatments
Anti-diarrheal medications: Loperamide (Imodium A-D) can help control diarrhea
Cholestyramine: A cholesterol medication that binds bile acids in the intestines
Diet: Eating smaller amounts of fat, increasing fiber, and eliminating caffeine, sweets, and dairy can help
When to seek medical care
You have signs of infection, such as fever, swelling, warmth, or redness
You have pain that doesn't improve with pain medication
You're unable to pass stools or gas
You have persistent symptoms that last more than 30 days
Digestive side effects typically resolve within one to four weeks after surgery.

I had EXACTLY the same problem. I was prescribed a few medications. I also had radiation for prostate cancer which made the situation worse. I would have a lot of urination problems.. All of a sudden I had an extremely severe urge to do both. I would have 3 seconds to get to the bathroom. One quarter of the time I wouldn't make it.Doing both #1 and #2 on myself.

I drastically cut my portions of food down. At this point, I eat about six times a day. They are all small portions. In total, I eat substantially less than used to. Cut out anything fatty, or too spicy.. You have to be considerate of what you eat and when.

STRESS is a key element. I kept experimenting and reading anything I could find about what not having a gallbladder would do to your body. I returned to doing Tai Chi. That helped me in being more calmer - which in turn lessened an unpleasant body reaction to eating.

I have been eating plain yogurt and drinking plain kefir. to help bacteria. I think each person needs to experiment with what foods are working and not working.
