What Causes Severe Acidity, Stomach Fullness, Bloating, Whitish Stools When Gallbladder Is Removed?

I had my gall bladder removed two years before due to gall stones.... things have been fine.... off-late I have been experiencing severe acidity and last night we went out to eat and today the whole day I haven't felt the need to eat anything except had the morning tea. My stomach seems full and is bloated and my stools are whiteish in colour though not loose.

Hi thank you for posting your query in HCM. I understand your concern. After gall bladder removal, few patients can develop these symptoms like abdominal pain,abdominal bloating, gastritis, fever, jaundice, diarrhoea. In your case severe acidity is prominent.it is possibly due to bile duct injuries, biliary leaks, acute pancreatitis, infections. I would suggest you to get endoscopy done as soon as possible .it will help to find the cause. I would also suggest you to get the blood tests done that should include CBC, AMYLASE, LIPASE, LIVER FUNCTION TESTS and STOOL EXAMINATIONS These will help to find out the probable cause Hope i have answered your question. If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
