Diarrhea persists after Gallbladder removal

Posted by marman101 @marman101, Jan 8 3:43pm

I had gall bladder removed in 2016. I was told diarrhea may happen but would get better in 2 - 2/12 months. It is now 2025 and the problem is getting worse. I eat and in about 30 mins it is going right through me. Does anyone have this problem and you had it corrected? HELP!!!!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Men's Health Support Group.

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.

Anybody in this network who knows where I can have my gallstones removed and preserve my gall bladder - which apparently has an important function?
