Post Gallbladder Removal

Posted by krista111mc @krista111mc, Jan 6 1:56pm

My husband got a colonoscopy about 8 months ago and they diagnosed him with mild crones. They put him on medication for it, the inflammation went down however it did not take care of the symptoms that he was having: abdominal pain, back pain, weight loss, cloudy urine and stool, shakes, sweating after eating, long/loud burps, nausea and the whites of his eyes were turning off white/creamy color. My husband decided that he wanted to get his gallbladder checked . The HIDA scan showed that when the gallbladder was stabilized, only 5% of it was working..when he walked around, 14% of it was working. His gallbladder was not functioning and all of the symptoms he was experiencing led to a diseased gallbladder. He had it removed 6 days ago and started feeling really good. However today (6th day) he started feeling some of his old symptoms (nausea, sweating after eating and back pain) again. We are devastated that he’s starting to feel bad again. God led me to this Mayo platform. Has anyone gone through this or can anyone point us in our next direction?

I'm so sorry that all of your husbands are still going though pain after the gallbladder removal. I'm praying health and healing over all of you.

We found out it was the crone medication that was making my husband sick after the surgery. He never had crones...it was his gallbladder the whole time!! If he eats too much fatty foods or drinks a few alcoholic beverages his stomach will act up but a doctor told us about a probiotic called Enzymedica Digest Gold + Probiotic that helps breakdown large meals and reduce gas and bloating (we are waiting for them to be delivered).

We think he probably has IBS attacks when he eats fatty foods or drinks alcohol. A friend of mine suggested Plexis Bio Cleanse and Peobio5 for IBS. She said that it cleared her IBS after her gallbladder surgery. All in all he is feeling much better and can eat food again. God healed him!

Thank you. The surgeon is not willing to do exploratory surgery and said all the scans come back normal. So I don't understand what would cause all the pain.

Have they done any scopes, like a colonoscopy or endoscopy? It sure sounds like if the pain is in that area there’s something there. That’s just awful. I hope you can find a resolution somehow.

No they haven't wanted to pursue anything so i don't know what else to do except maybe go back to Rochester where he had surgery and see if they will look into it more!
