Watery Yellowish Stools After Getting Gall Bladder Removed. Took Imodium. Any Other Medication Without Prescription?
Oh, what a horribly embarrassing question. I apologize for the ick factor in advance. I had my gall bladder removed the week before Christmas. Over the past week, I have started having yellow bowel movements that are purely water. I figured that it was just some kind of bug and would pass in a few days, but I m on day five and there is no end in sight. I did try taking Imodium , but that did not help at all. I have been trying to stay hydrated. I m not sure if this is something I should head to the doctor to be seen for or if there is something I could pick up over the counter? Thanks so much for any help you might be able to give me.
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).
I think you are suffering from acute infectious gastroenteritis. For which you should a course of antibiotics like ofloxacin and ornidazole and may continue with imodium for 2-3 days more. Keep your hydration level well and avoid milk and milk products for few days
