Post Gallbladder removal diarrhea 2 1/2 months after surgery

Wow, it is so helpful to read everyone's comments - thank you each and all. I have just postponed gall bladder removal surgery in favor of changing my diet radically! My two daughters are vegan so they think such a change is long overdo anyway and have offered helpful suggestions, such as vegan mayo, using the Instapot for oatmeal and beans. Of course, for me anyway, it's a real challenge to accept the FACT that I need to make better choices and will sorely miss some of my old favorites...just thinking about what I can't have makes me want it more!!! For now, about two weeks into the changes, I am almost normal again though every morning I do have abdominal pain which goes away quite quickly. I am eager, curious, and hopeful that I can continue to avoid surgery. Wishing everyone as normal a day as you can hope for and thanking you for writing in and sharing. Yours, sincerely, Theresa Gifford

I ignored my intwrmittent stomach pain and 2 ultrasounds that showed calcified stones that were still attached to the wall of the gallbladder. None of my doctors were too concerned so I let it go. I ended up in the ER septic with a gangreneous gallbladder that had to be removed right away. I could have died. Be sure your gallbladder isn't infected, which will require a good doctor who is willing to test you, before you attribute it to diet. A good low fat plant based diet is good but please make sure your gallbladder is not inflamed or infected or full of stones...don't make the same mistake I did. You would have thought I learned a lesson from my Aunt when she died from ignoring her gallbladder symptoms until it was too late. Please be careful.

Hi Theresa, just keep an eye on the the abdominal pain if it gets bad please tell your dr. I ignored the abdominal pain because I didn’t know what it was and I wound up needing a bilary stent in my duct before they removed my gallbladder. I wish you luck and if you have any questions we’re here for you. Love Lauren.
