Is White Stringy Stuff In Stools After Gallbladder Removal Normal?
I had a scope, colonoscopy, and gallbladder removed last wed/thur. I finally went to the bathroom this am for the first time since the bowel prep Tues/wed. The stool was normal in color but there was white stringy stuff in it. Is this normal for after surgeries. maybe because of meds being taken for an ulcer? My colon exam came back clear. I just had a non functioning gallbladder (Hita scan) and a severe ulcer (scope)

Hello
This is perfectly normal after a colon prep. The white stringy stuff is just a little undigested food and mucus and it should clear after another one or two bowel movements
