Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Increased Bowel Movement After Gallbladder Removal?
I am now post gallbladder removal of about 4 months. The earliest they can get me in is in 2 weeks (go figure). I have been having an extreme issue with food passing through me way too quickly so much that I believe I am becoming malnourished - I am way too skinny and can t seem to gain weight. I only have pain immediately after I eat and once the food passes through me, I feel better. I found dumping syndrome and it fits me to a T. I can t find enough information on the internet to help me with diet - I am fit and eat quite healthy (mostly) and this is affecting my everyday life. I like to try natural remedies - what can I take to slow down digestion AND what can I eat? I found a site that listed fruits that aid digestion, but from reading, I need to stay away even from natural sugars (such as in fruit). I am in fear of landing a teaching job because I constantly need to be near the restroom within 5 minutes (or less) of eating. Thanks!
Hi. Diarrhea is not a rare complication of after cholecistectomy or better is a common symptom, part of what we call post cholecystectomy syndrome. Bile is important in fat digestion so I'd recommend to be carefull with fatty foods in your diet. As for a better digestion I'd suggest Cholecysmon for a month (two pills after eating two times a day) .It's just a replacement therapy and we can discuss again after.
