I seem to get diahrrea with EVERYTHING I eat since I had gallbladder surgery over a month ago. It is bright yellow in color.  My stomach hurts really bad, and it is starting to get in the way of me working.  I can't stay out of the bathroom after I eat and I am starting to have to skip meals in order to get through the evenings?  Do I have another problem, or is this just side effects, from not having a gallbladder.

i had my gallbladder removed a year ago I'm 18 now and it was really scary the doc said i had something else wrong with me ..my liver was enlarger and i had a stone in my pancreas..i waited too long and the pain was soooo bad...after surgery you get really bad shoulder pain because the air they put into your stomach has no where too go. i read that alot of ppl had diarrhea after the surgery. i didn't have that . my stomach was really score i have 3 tiny scares on my stomach now. i find tho that if you don't watch what you eat you will get another attack i still cant eat anything fattening. Ive gotten a few gallbladder attacks since. but the diarrhea isn't anything to worry

Have you hear of Pavlovs dog?\nInherrent response to stimulus- I work in ultrasound and the smell of coffee in some patients will make the gallbladder contract a little starting a digestive respose. Or maybe your just hungry?

Dlan - have you had gastric bypass yourself or are you close friends with someone who has had it? It is absolutely NOT ok to have small bites of the fatty goods after the GB surgery because your body can no longer process fats and sugars the way they used to, it can cause you to "dump" - basically being really really sick to your stomach. \n\nJan, how long has it been since you have had your surgery? Also, have you tried joining an online GB support group? I would first suggest sticking to your diet and drinking lots of water (with lemon if you have trouble keeping it down.) Are you doing your protien shakes? If not, that might be a good way to curb your cravings, you can get them in all sorts of flavors too.

Your gallbladder stores the bile that is needed to create the alkali PH for your small intestine to digest your food. So this effect should be normal.- Trust me, my biology teacher taught me this morning.

Take this from someone who's been there.  Get that gallbladder taken OUT.  Now!!!  Your pain will not go away.  The attacks will start to happen more frequently and last longer.  Get it taken out ASAP, they will probably be able to do this laparascopically.  Piece of cake.

I have the same problem.  The most probable things is that you have bile stones or are suffering from something else along the same lines.  You should see a GI and be aware that you can have more of those horrid pain attacks that will send you to the ER.  This is a good group on Yahoo to give you more info.  You will also need to modify your diet and cut out caffine, sugars etc.  Check this group out it is a blessing.  ThePancreatitisPlace.  Go to yahoo home page and click groups and look for it.  I think it maybe 3 seperate words or one long one.  Good luck.  Oh and stay away from Vicodin and Morphine they will send you into the worse attacks of your life.

I had gall bladder surgery 3 years ago. They did it laporscopically which means they went through my belly button and mad 3 small incisions in my stomach. Since it is in the stomach region, they do consider it major surgery, however, after having it I really don't think it is that bad. I stayed in the hospital overnight and then went home the next day. I did have a little pain at the hospital in my back and shoulders because when they pump your abdomen when air so they can work easily around the organs, it leaves tiny air bubbles inside you when they take the air out, so that was uncomfortable but I didn't feel it anymore after 2 or 3 days. My abdomen was really sore and when I walked around it would have a few sharp pains if it jiggled or something but I had some pretty good medicenes that helped me out. The recovery was pretty easy acctually. After a week I was doing really well. I still had pain but not as bad at all. I could start doing things at 2 weeks like going places. And I had to stay on a really low fat diet for about 6 weeks because the gall bladder helps digest fat and since I didn't have that anymore, fat runs through me faster and could make me sick. So after 6 weeks, my body was used to this change and could go back to eating reguarly. Not to say that fatty foods are okay to eat even after the 6 week mark because sometimes I get really bad diarea still (after 3 yrs) because my body doesnt have the gall bladder. All in all I am pretty normal still. I don't even notice a change really. I eat a normal diet so everything is fine. Good luck and don't be scared. It goes smoothly and quickly and you'll be fine.

I started getting stomach pains when I was 10 and the doctors could never figure it out..I suffered for 14 years.  Turns out it was my Gall Bladder!  They never checked it because it's not common at all in children.  I would ask your doctor to check this out.  It is extremely painful.

Your gall bladder is not going to explode.  Think of it this way; if you have put up with an inflamed gall bladder all of this time, why would it "explode" between now and next Monday??? I've never heard of an exploding gall bladder.  Just rest and relax.  The surgery is easy; slightly uncomfortable and you're up and around in a couple of days.  Make sure you drink a lot of fluids (no carbonated drinks please!), cut down on your salt and fatty foods.  This will help you be more comfortable awaiting your surgery.  Go get a manicure and pedicure so you look awesome in the recovery room!  And RELAX!!!!  Good luck!

just to clear it up...there is a type of gallbladder removal surgery that enlarges the stomach. its called laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery. its becoming the most common way to remove one. they make four small incisions instead of one really big one. they inflate your stomach with gas so that they have room to get in there and work. i had mine removed in the end of 2003. i do still have a problem with a bloated stomach but its not constant. it has to do with what i eat or how much (or lack there of). if your stomach is constantly swollen i would definitely go back to the doc. i really don't think that would be a side effect. and when it comes to the stomach/digestive areas, you don't wanna play around. it really could be any number of things. and anyone out there that is dealing with digestive problems since their surgery, take my advice. do something about it. i couldn't find a doc to listen to me about mine until a few months ago. now i'm sitting here with a number of peptic ulcers that were caused by the excess acid that my stomach now has to take on itself. and trust me, this hurts! don't play when it comes to your stomach...go to the doc!!!

In my opinion, there is some kind of infection related to the gall bladder (use to digest the food). It may be cholecystitis or otherwise. You are advised to consult any surgeon for more details.

its the type of food and consistency they are eating that causes the change in stool colour\n\nAccording to website 1. \nIf your baby's stools are green and frothy she may be taking in too much lactose (the natural sugar found in milk), which happens if she feeds often, but doesn't get the rich milk at the end of the feed to fill her up. It may also be caused by overfeeding or underfeeding, or is a sign that your baby has a stomach bug.'\n\nAccording to Website 2.\nGreenish diarrhoea may mean that your daughter is suffering from a tummy bug and food has travelled more quickly than usual through her gut. Known as ‘rapid transit diarrhoea’, it might be green due to increased presence of one form of bile pigment

i had the same thing and my moms a nurse she said it was okay and it was just a phase in the "growing" cycle so dont worry about it, but if it turns yellow, or green you should see a doctor.

Could very well be gall stones...although gallstones do not usually produce a fever.  Sounds like you have a history of GI problems given the drugs you have available.  It is very possible to have ulcers and/or diverticuli that become infected and cause the type of pain that you describe with fever. The products that are exacerbating the pain would do so with either.  A bad gall bladder will in addition to pain cause flatulence and belching.  You are the right age for either problem.  STOP SMOKING!!!   That is the worst thing you can do if you have stomach problems.  Milk is not good for either gall bladder or ulcerative problems as it increases the production of stomach acid and phlegmy secretions.  Your symptoms do suggest that medical intervention is eminante.  Good luck and God Bless!

Gallbaladder attacks are caused by allergies to high fat foods, quit drinking anything that has high sugar contents, soda, juice things like that, start drinking lots of water and your diet should probably change, I would eat plain food, like veges with no sauce or garnish, which means no butter too!!! just lightly steam veges for a couple of minutes, but not to long, also you could eat plain boneless skinless chicken breast. Just everything has to be very plain, no wheat, no sugar, basically no carbs, only veges and very lean protien. I had a gallbladder attack and they removed mine and I am only 27, after wards I did research and what I found out was very interesting, change your diet for a couple of weeks and see if that helps. I wish I would have known that, instead I had to lose a body part. I never had heartburn or issues before my attack, it just happened all of a sudden, but if you follow a low fat diet with no sugar you should be alot better in a couple of weeks.\n\nYour stool is weird because your gallbladder is not releasing enough enzymes to break down the fat in your foods, so if you reduce or cut completely your fat intake your gallbladder will be able to catch up( I guess that is how you can word it).\n\nPlease try this before you have gallbladder surgery, I wsih that I would have known about this before I had mine out. \n\nLet me know how it goes,\nLissa7903@yahoo.com\n\nMelissa
