problems worsen after surgery!!

[Guest guest]

I'm new to this group and would like to know if anyone out there has

chosen to have their gall bladder removed. If yes, have there been any

side effects to the surgery? I have been to doctor after doctor and

they have different opinions of what is wrong with me. I have extreme

diarrea and constipation, and abdominal pain. I had my surgery 7 years

ago, and as I treat my symptoms, it will switch to the other extreme.

If anyone has any advice please help me.

Hi Tom,

I take it from your post that you had your gallbladder removed 7 years ago

and now have the below symptoms. As you try and treat the diarrhea you become

constipated and if you try and treat the constipation you have diarrhea. Has

anyone mentioned Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crone's, or colitis? Have they

done stool samples for pathogen's? Do you have mucous in your stool? Bubbles

or froth when you have diarrhea? Any white, webby, stringy stuff? Yes, there

can be side effects from having your gallbladder removed but this does not mean

that the symptoms you have are side effects from your surgery. If they are, and

they could be, then taking bile and digestive enzymes when you eat anything with

fats or oils will help. If not then the actual cause needs to be determined.

It is also not uncommon for someone to have symptoms, have their gallbladder

removed, and not have the symptoms clear up (gallbladder was not the cause even

though suspect and stones present). How long have you had the below symptoms?

The same intensity from the start or have they gotten worse? Are you on PPIs

(protein pump inhibitors)? Belching? Gas? Distention? Nausea? Burning?

Heavy alcohol consumption? Lung issues? Heart palpitations?

You cannot go wrong with taking a good quality digestive enzyme

(containing lipases, amylases, and proteases) whenever you eat and adding

probiotics; no matter what the cause to start. Valerian, licorice, apricot pit

will help with the cramping no matter what.

If this has been going on for 7 years it is serious _____, pardon the pun.

It must be gotten under control and at the cause not just the symptoms.

Treating just the symptoms without correcting the digestive problem is dangerous

whether done with natural supplements or pharmaceuticals.
