No GB + the Runs

Below is an excerpt from one persons experience without a

gallbladder. This was taken from a posting from a gallbladder

support group.

" Hello All,

Watching my fluids and having some healthy oil has put an end to the

run to the bathroom syndrome.

In case you don't know what I am talking about. It has to do with

having to run to the bathroom after eating if you have NO gallbladder.

The liver still produces bile, however there is no gallbladder to

store it anymore, so it flows into the small intestine. Normally, the

small intestine reabsorbs it. However, in some of us some excess bile

reaches the large intestine, partially coating the walls that are

supposed to absorb water. In this situation, if you drink water or

other liquids faster than you can absorb, it has to come out

somewhere. Now, remember, bile digests oil and gets used up in the

process leaving less or no bile to reach the large intestine and

" foul " things up. So having oil and watching by liquuds, works for

me. "

Thanks for posting that! This is exactly what I don't want.

I went to my regular doctor to pick up my lab results before going to

my naturalpathic doctor. The nurse printed out my results and said

to me, " Just get it out. " I was taken back, but I expected it. She

then went on about how after a year of pain she just had hers out and

it was a " piece of cake " and was shopping that afternoon. I said

that is great but I have heard that some people have diareah for the

rest of their life. She quickly said " I don't " . I thanked her for

her (unsolicted) input and also reminded her that she was the one who

also told me I should stop nursing my then 14 month old -- which I

did not do and was on my way to my naturalpathic doctor. She was

asking a lot of questions about him and also joked about some old

fashioned remedies that did not work. I laughed and left and just

realized even stronger that I am the only one who is looking out for

MY health they are just managing my illnesses.

Naomi, you are right. You are the only one who can really watch out

for your health. I have to tell you I think the nurse was telling a

bold faced lie. I was down in a Lazy boy for almost a week. And I had

the easy surgery. The gas they pump in you is extremely painful and

takes awhile to leave. And walking any distance was very difficult

and painful. I was in good physical condition at the time of my

surgery too. (other than the gb :0 ) Dawn

then went on about how after a year of pain she just had hers out and

> it was a " piece of cake " and was shopping that afternoon.
