OH NO!! Scopolamine patches will constipate you.. they sent me to the hospital constipated..and the first thing the ER doctor said.. patches.. constipation..don't wanna scare you!! (I had my gallbladder out not emergency.. but "rushed")... Please ask your doctor about that patch.. I use Zofran and Promethazine for nausea..and Trulance (AM) and MiraLAX ( at night) and VSL3 Probiotics to help with constipation. And watch what I eat.. been constipated all my life.. also you can try Smooth Move tea..(didn't work for me but did for my sister and niece.. who only went once a month) I drink 2 Vanilla plant based Ensures.. plant protein 5 grams of fiber and 50% Vit C and D.. so with 2 you get 100% and eat Thomas multigrain English muffins with Country Crock plant butter 1 a day ..8 grams of fiber.. if you can do wheat..I hope this helps you!! Please ask about that patch!! Other alternatives to nausea..I'll be praying for you!!

I had my gallbladder removed in 2012 and I couldn't eat for 10 days afterwards and I hadn't eaten for a week or so before the procedure, so I finally passed out and they took me back to the hospital and they put me on a medication called cholestyramine I think. It takes the cholesterol out of your bile or something so it doesn't trigger your IBS. That's what I was experiencing anyway. I was on the medication for nine weeks until I became allergic to it, but that was long enough for me to be able to eat and the diarrhea stopped. I would've died without it, I think. I couldn't even drink water before that without triggering severe diarrhea. I hope you can find a resolution. It's awful and scary! Take care.
