Man. All I can say is I'm glad it's not me.

WHEN I HAVE A BOWEL MOVEMENT LATLEY THERE HAS BEEN MUCOS IN MY STOOL!!!! DOES THIS MEEN ITS CANCER????

Like Hilliary I have been having a lot of mucos in my stool. In fact no stools just mucos. Needless to say... I'm scared sh--less.

I too, have had my gallbladder removed, so I thought I should pass on this advice. According to my doctor, when you have your gallbladder removed, and then eat fatty foods, this can lead to lots of runny poop, as there isnt enough bile to digest fatty foods, so they basically go straight through. Maybe you could try cutting out fatty foods and see if this helps. :) Good luck!

My gallbladder's been out for a year now, and the excruciatingly painful diarrhea is getting worse, I even have to get up DURING meals and make a run for the nearest unlucky toilet... I work at a dental office and I have to run around with a roll of toilet paper and a can of air freshener *so embarrassing*. I'm scared because I recently learned that after the gallbladder is out you can still develop stones in the common bile duct, which is the one that connects the liver w the intestine, and the aftermath of that surgery is worse than the never ending river of sludge. Has anyone had this second surgery or know someone that has and know of its effects?

i have mucos in my stool and also sometimes it is just mucos what can it be

I believe that would be the indication that you should make an appointment with your medical practitioner.

My stomach hurts really bad sometimes when i eat and im almost afraid to leave my house because like mentioned above you don't have much time at all to make it to the bathroom. Thank you for posting this i will try and see a doctor as well It's not much of a life being affraid to leave your house due to a bathroom issue

Dear poo-nurse, I'm 25 years of age and lately I've been having frequent loose stools that secrete alot of strong, burning stomach acid. It burns my anus. It seems like this happens after a night of drinking and the wrong foods. What foods should I stay away from and do I have to quit drinking to get rid of this problem.

HAVE NO GALLBLADDER CAN ANTTHING STOP THIS DIARHREA

A call to your doctor, maybe.

30 Lb test line stitches, or an industrial strength cork, perhaps?

I have "silent" gallstones. After reading these posts about gall bladder removal and diarrhea, I am going to be very diligent in maintaining a low cholesterol, low fat diet, in the hopes of preventing further stones from forming in my gall bladder. I don't want to end up with my gall bladder removed for the very reason you've all described. I do know that after the gall bladder is out, you have to really lay off the fat because the extra bile production into the small intestine is what causes the loose stools. **sigh** ... It seems after the age of 45, It's always something. My spleen is gone, my uterus is gone. The bastards are NOT taking my gall bladder!

Question: Has anyone tried the gall bladder flush with true success? (re: fasting, fresh pressed apple cider, olive oil & lemon juice) Some people online are swearing by it, others say it's just a crock. I think the only sure way to know if the flush really worked is to have a follow-up CT scan done to see if the cholesterol stones are really gone from the gall bladder.

i had my gallbladder taken out 11 months ago i still get occasional daihreah and recently iv'e thrown up a couple times and my stomach gets really upset when i eat someone please help i don't want to live the rest of my life like this i'm always sick all i wanna do is sleep i'm only 25

Before gallbladder surgery try this.

My gallbladder started being "sludgy" while pregnant w my daughter...quite painful. The Dr's didn't want to remove my gallbladder untill 1 yr after my daughter was born.

So, I looked at health magazines and home remedies, and herbal supliments... everything I could find.

One home remedy stands out from the crowd as the most helpful I have found.

Parsley Tea. It helped a LOT! You just take regular parsley, either fresh or dried, and treat it like tea leaves, brewing a good strong tea that will be kind of a yellow/gree color. Drink as you would regular tea, sweeten to taste. A cup or 2 a day or when gallbladder pain first starts. It kept me relatively comfortable for the year and a half it too to get to the point where I could have my gall bladder taken out.

ASK your Doctor before trying home remedies...but I doubt he will refuse your request to try Parsley tea.

Poop Nurse, What can you tell us about this and other home remedies??

Missing my gallbladder as well. I had mild IBS like (undiagnosed) symptoms prior to surgery that got much, much worse after. I talked to one doctor about the results and he was less than helpful. Wanted to draw alot of blood, run alot of tests, and failed at those - his nurse couldn't get blood. So I gave up on that doctor.
Immodium helps, if I catch it in time. Right now, I'm adding fiberpills (benefiber) and calcium (caltrate 600d) to meals morning and evening only. It's helped so far, but it's only been a couple of weeks. I'm also going to try the 5-6 small meals a day, that's supposed to help.

I had mine out - and I have no problems at all! DO NOT EAT FRIED OR FATTY FOODS! I never did, so its not a problem for me... I developed my stones during pregnancy - then after the baby came - I lost 70lbs in about 6 months and that's when the pain started...so I went to the ER and it was my gallbladder... anyway - I never had a single problem with pooping! Just stay away from all greasy fried fatty foods

I had my gallbladder out 5 years ago (when I was 20) I wish I would have had a choice on having it removed...I was informed that it had gone septic ( i began running a HIGH fever) and that if it didn't come out I would die... So I had it out and now 5 years later I don't know what I can and can't eat anymore... I've been eating plain whole wheat pasta (no sauce no butter nothing) for 3 days now. No matter what I do my stomach cramps up within 10 minutes of eating. THERE HAS GOT TO BE A WAY TO STOP THIS!!!
