Uncontrolled diarrhea after gallbladder removal surgery: Any advice?
After a very painful event I had surgery to remove my gall bladder. Surgery took 2.5 hours. Follow up seems ok except I have uncontrolled diarrhea. I am living on imodium . I am weak as a baby with no aid in sight. The doctors offer no real help except telling me what to eat or not. Any similiar experience or advice.

I had similar issues. Took years to get Dr. to do stool test that revealed Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficient (EPI). Digestive Enzymes have changed my life. Good luck, prayers for you to get relief.
Thank you! do you mean elastase stool test? I'm so happy that you feel happy and healthy now! that's great!
Yes, Fecal Elastase.
It gets better in time but there are meds they can give you and a diet to follow..
