I’m so so sorry to hear that. Such a long time to be struggling after gall bladder removal. I was very fortunate that mine resolved fairly quickly after removal on 9 May 2022 with a careful low fat, high fibre diet and eating between 4-6 small meals a day plus Imodium when needed.

I still need to be careful and if I get slack (eg had delicious fatty mutton chops the other day) I’ll get terrible diarrhea and need to revisit my diet and meal sizes.

I see there are medications your medical team may try.

I also wonder whether you might have some other digestive disorder. Such as c-diff or SIBO? Have you had any tests done?

Hopefully I'll have the answer's I need so bad in July when i see the stomach specialist. I do have IBS which is pretty common. I'll look up the 2 you sent me, not sure what they are.
