Uncontrolled diarrhea after gallbladder removal surgery: Any advice?
Digestive Health | Last Active: Sep 9, 2023 | Replies (74)Comment receiving replies
my friend had the same after her gallbladder surgery. Her doc gave her Colestipol which she said worked really well and stopped the diarrhea she experienced.. She only took 1/2 dose until the diarrhea subsided then she quit taking it. She said she is OK now. I think I am facing a gallbladder surgery myself but all the testing isn't done yet and I am terrified. Set to have a HIDA test on Dec 29.
