I had my gallbladder removed (laparoscopically) in August this year. Prior to having the surgery, I’d been having digestive issues for years. My issue is extremes; I won’t go for several days and then I will have diarrhea all day long. I go back and forth — I’m either constipated or I have diarrhea. It’s never “normal.” Also, the diarrhea begins right after I eat on day 3 – 6. It seems to be a reaction to me eating. Sometimes (sorry for how gross this is) I have noticed that I do not digest some food that passes through (no, not just corn). So, having my gallbladder out was due to gallstones, but shouldn’t that have helped? Why is my digestive system still causing me so much misery? I’m so tired of feeling so awful all the time. I’ve lost 50 lbs because I’m afraid to eat anything (I’m not too thin — yet!).
Oh, yeah . . . I’m not eating much fat AT ALL. Keep in mind that I said that I’ve lost a lot a weight recently. It’s not JUST from not eating. I eat less than 10g of fat/day. I hardly eat any starches or carbs. The last thing I ate that I reacted to was Progresso vegetable soup – low fat, low cal.
And the undigested food is not greasy. It is pieces, mostly of vegetables (onion, leafy veggies).
