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.

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!!!

I'm lying in bed right now in the UK recoving from gallbladder removal. Its a 1-night keyhole, but so far I've been in for 7 days and had 2 ops.Feeling much better now though and should be out soon.

One thing occured to me while reading all the comments here. I have suffered terribly in the past with bad indegestion. Excrutiating pain in my belly and chest from acid reflux.Finally I was put on a drug called Lanzaprazole which is just awesome and completely fixed these problems.It stops the stomach producing as much acid. In the end I just took it infrequently, say before going out for an Indian meal or suchlike.

Then I got taken very ill with terrible pain. Different this time and much worse. Diagnosed as gallstones, gallbladder infection and jaundice. After antibiotices and a 6-day spell in hospital I was released to recover a while and get ready for the gallbladder removal operation.

In preparation, I was told to start taking the Lanzaprazole every morning, irrespective of whether I felt I needed it or not. I did take it but not religiously. I forgot to take it into hospital with me.

Once the gallbladder was out, I got a lot of pain from the op, especially where the oxygen they pump into the belly during the op starts to work its way up and out the body - through the shoulders. But I also got terrible stomach cramps. My belly would just seize up for 5 minutes at a time. Unbelievable. Crying out in pain. Even 10ml jabs of morphine was not stopping it.

They put me on Omnaziprole I think it was called. They described it as a more expensive verion of Lanzaprazole. Anyway, it worked.My stomach pains went, and I could manage eating again and gradually started to repair.

My point, in summary, is that stomach cramps and pains associated with specific foods could be linked to indegestion issues rather than gallbladder removal. I believe its all closely linked. On several occassions I've heard that gallbladder issues happen more frequently with people who have had bad indegestion problems in the past.

Hope that help!

I had my gallbladder removed a almost 2 years ago.
I did have the loose stools for a few months. As soon as I ate something I had to visit the bathroom right away.
I developed reaction like gas and bloating to the extreme from veggies almost all raw ones.
Last year I had my blood work done and it appears that I have high cholesterol.
could it be because of the surgery?

i had my gallbladder taken out the day before yesterday and i havent managed to poop yet...is this normal????

Questran is the key to stop the loose stools. Be careful with the dosages though, too much leads to constipation. I mix mine with Orange gatorade and now I can finally get back out to the golf course without having to worry about going to the bathroom.

Hey, poops and diarrheas.

I just had my gallbladder out on the 1st of October, 2009 and then had 3 different 5 hour torso attacks - super bad, couldn't breathe, eyes popping out of my head pain. Went in to the ER during the third massive attack and they did an ultrasound and found a rogue stone in my common bile duct. I stayed at the hospital for a couple days and they did an ERCP where they put you to sleep and go in through your mouth, down through your intestines and up into the duct to retrieve the stone.

Took me a bit to recover from the whole ordeal that ended on the 7th of October but I feel great now that it's the 12th and I have yet to experience the poo-run after eating. My friend has this 'dumping' issue after his gallbladder-ectomy, so I've been waiting for it to come, but so far so good. I really hope it stays this way. My surgeon told me that 'dumping' immediately after meals is not normal and anyone with this issue should be seen for a separate diagnosis.

Try a sack of white castles to determine if the source of the problem is fatty foods.

Chili........A platter full of Krystal burgers is a much better test. This young man is preparing to consume a normal sized portion of this treat that originated in Chattanooga , Tennessee back in 1932.

Eat chilies and feel the burn!!

I had my gallbladder out almost 2 years ago now. I had the normal liquidshits and such but I was doing pretty good until a few weeks ago. Now I have this horrible searing stabbing pain in my side right where my gallbladder used to be all the time, especially after I eat or I lay down. What in the world could that be? I have also been getting this pain in my stomach after I eat that makes my back directly behind my stomach hurt and then I get the cold sweats, what's up with that?

Mabe it's an ectopic pregnancy! Seriously, MMC, you need to take these new pain symptoms to your doctor as I really have no idea what it could be excepting gastritis or something like that.
