Post Gb Surgery Chronic Diarrhea- Herbal Remedy? Posted: 09-11-06 17:51pm
Hi,
thanks to all on this forum for sharing
their experiences and insights.
I had my gallbladder out july 2005 after a
severe attack and blocked duct, but
realize now that I had been suffering
symptoms and attacks for years that I
chalked up to heartburn, food poisoning,
allergies, etc.
One of the most annoying symptoms
post-surgery is this chronic diarrhea, and
i've been all over the internet and read
the stories of many people who suffer the
same problem. I have given up caffeine
and fatty foods, but mainly suffer when
trying to eat a salad or raw vegetables..
Isn't that the ultimate catch-22?...
Trying to eat naturally and healthy and
have it aggravate the problem?
Has anyone had any luck with a natural
remedy?
I did read about a new medication,
brandname questran, but I would like to
avoid a prescription medication if I can.
Thanks in advance.

I, too, have the classic symptoms of "the
dumping syndrome" unfortunately, even now,
3 months post surgery tomorrow. My
surgeon has prescribed "questran". It is
very inexpensive, and is a powder that is
simply mixed with water or juice of your
choice in the morning of a day that you
can't afford to have diarrhea. It really
works.
Now..........I'd love to hear from people
who have had the dumping syndrome, and if
they had any remedies (natural would be
great!), and how long it took to shake the
diarrhea.
