post gall bladder op., i need double amounts of medication?

Welcome to eHealthForum

From the history provided it seems that you might be having post cholecystectomy syndrome (PCS).

Postcholecystectomy syndrome—the recurrence of symptoms similar to those before the procedure—occurs in 10% to 40% of patients. The time to the onset of symptoms can range from 2 days to up to 2 years. Women may be at higher risk, with symptoms recurring in 43% and 28% in men.

The first problem is continuously increased bile flow into the upper GI tract, which may contribute to esophagitis and gastritis. The second consequence is related to the lower GI tract irritation which can cause diarrhea and colicky lower abdominal pain.

Treatment of the condition might need treatment with antacids, proton pump inhibitors, antispasmodics, Cholestyramine or sedatives. Lifestyle changes specifically adopting a low fat diet and weight loss might also be very helpful.

You might considered a experienced gastroenterologist for additional information and proper treatment.

I hope this helps.
