Hello,

This looks to me like so-called postcholecystectomy syndrome which has all these symptoms and this occurs in about 10% of people who undergo cholecystectomy, usually can be transient, and rarely persistent or lifelong.

Symptoms include systemic symptoms such as sweating and heat sense but also dyspepsia, nausea, and vomiting, flatulence, bloating and diarrhea, persistent pain in the upper right abdomen.

Some individuals may benefit from diet modification such as a reduced fat diet, following cholecystectomy since it may be more difficult for digestion of fatty foods. Postcholecystectomy syndrome treatment depends on the identified violations that led to it. Typically, the person is recommended dietary restriction table with fatty foods, enzyme preparations, antispasmodics, sometimes oral ursodeoxycholic acid can alleviate the condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
