Post-cholesystectomy diarrhea

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone, I have a question concerning post-gallbladder

diarrhea. This past january, following my November pancreatitis

attack, I had my Gallbladder removed due to gallstones. I think I

have written about this before, but since the surgery I have been

suffering about everyother day with severe cramping and diarrheal

bouts. They are a nightmare and I nearly passout from them which

makes it even worse. In terms of meds, i take reglan atleast 5mg

twice daily (morning and night and sometimes more) and I think it

helps with nausea but thats about all. I also take 15mg of lexapro

and 20 mg of protonix a day. I just had a colonoscopy that was

relatively normal to see if i had any colitis; I had some biopsies

taken that I will learn about on tuesday. My Gastroenterologist and

i are also going to talk about this diarrheal problem but my

question is:

" Has anyone else had this diarrheal problem and what medicines or

remedies were used? "

There seems to be many remedies and medicines, most of which are

potent, and I am curious if I should ask or discuss a specific one?

Thanks for help
