Are Hyper Bowel Sounds Normal After Gallbladder Removal?
Had gallbladder removed 5 weeks ago. I have one or two BM's per day. The color of the stool looks ok; however, when I wipe there is a yellowish brown color on the toilet paper. I have also been taking Cipro and find that I have hyperbowel sounds. Is this all 'normal' after gallbladder removal?

hi.
noted history of hyperactive bowels post cholecystectomy. your antibiotic might be causing the stomach upset. it is best if you do a follow-up consult with your surgeon, for clinical evaluation. also, if the symptom is persistent, a shift of abtibiotics may be recommended.
hope this helps.
good day.
