Post gallbladder problems.

Posted by turtleface @turtleface, Jan 4 8:17pm

Is there any way to get rid of the constant nausea and diarrhea after gallbladder surgery? I can only eat just a few bites then I am sick. At point I am starting to get weak

The Mayo Clinic website offers some helpful advice concerning diet after gallbladder surgery. It also recommends talking with a healthcare professional if diarrhea doesn't go away or becomes more severe, or if you lose weight and become weak. Details at

Hope you feel better soon.

I got a referral to gastroenterology and am having some tests run to see what is causing my pain and diarrhea. Endoscopy with Ultrasound, colonoscopy, and SIBO test. Possible CT if those tests do not show the cause. In the meantime, while I wait on the tests, I have been advised to add bulk, such as psyllium husk to my diet.

Gallbladder removal was 1.5 years ago, and these issues started this past summer, so 1 year post-surgery.

I experienced a sharp, intermittent pain right where my gall bladder wss about 7 months after my laproscopic surgery. It would get worse when I exercised (fast walking) I went one year with it before we tried an ultrasound guided steriod injection into the abdominal wall and a modified TAP block. It seems to have worked :). In my case perhaps s nerve of part of the muscle became irritated from the surgery. I did nit have much nausea like you, snd I have SBS plus other elimination issues; thud, I had diarrhea prior to my gallbladder removal. Hoping for answers for you.
