Loose Motion, Frequent Bowel Movement, Stomach Ache Feeling After Removing Gall Bladder Last Year. Advice?

I had my gallbladder removed Nov. 2012. My bowels haven't been the same. When ever I eat anything almost immediately I have to run the bathroom at least 3-4 times. Most of the time my stools are very soft, loose, to running. I get that stomach ache feeling. Also, every morning I wake up I have to use the bathroom 2-3 times for same thing! Its so annoying. I wish I still have my gallbladder, too bad there hasn't been a development as to just sucking out the stones and leave the gallbladder intact! eh!?

Hi, it usually happen to some people after removal of the gallbladder, probably due to release of the bile continuously, into the duodinum, or adhesions there, or mostly due to the words told by the neighbours that there will be so many side effects.
I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for advise.
Avoid taking spices, junk foods, and oily foods.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe ranitidine 300 mg for 1 month. Thank you.
