I believe you describe bloating and gas with everything you eat, and if your meal contains fiber such as fruits and leafy veggies, you also have diarrhea. Are you treating any of those issues with over the counter meds?

I haven’t had gallbladder issues but I have microscopic colitis that causes similar issues. Then my doc added a statin to my meds and that causes constipation. So I take fiber for that and try to find that magic balance that relieves constipation but doesn’t result in diarrhea. Some days I don’t want to risk leaving the house.

Are there specific questions you have of anyone who has had their gallbladder removed? That might be helpful for anyone reading your post. One of our awesome mentors may also know of other boards that may be more closely aligned with gallbladder issues.

This site is a great community, so let’s see who may join the discussion 🙂

Thank you. I have taken statins and had to come off of them because it caused my liver enzymes to increase. After the second try with statins my liver enzymes would not decrease and the doctor made me take hepatitis shots to protect my liver. It took almost 12 months for enzymes to come back to normal levels. If all I eat leafy greens, fruits, beans, then I have a diarrhea Doctors suggest a Mediterranean diet but it consists of all the above except for some fish or poultry. I’m trying to find a happy medium to where I can enjoy eating and having a life. It all just doesn’t seem worth it anymore.

I am grateful for any help relating to repeated, severe pain identical to the pain I had before I had my gallbladder removed. Gastroenterologist does not have any answers !
Thank you
