I had a gallbladder removal last december 2005 and so far I had no big problem in digestion. Although in some cases, I experienced loose stools or diarrhea after eating but it was not frequent.

Now, I observed that ther is an increase in the frequency of diarrhea. Every after meals I feel a discomfort that I would have to move my bowels. This bothers me and affects my activities especially my work.

Pls. Help me how to treat this disorder. What would I take and how much dosage do I need for a time span? Also what diet is preffered ( what fruits, etc)?

I heard about the cholestyramine and aluminum hydroxide as a treatment of diarrhea due to this disorder. Is this safe?

Diarrhea
I, too, have diarrhea still (it's called the dumping syndrome) and it's been 5 mos. Since my surgery in june. I take cholestrol packets, prescribed by my surgeon, when necessary.

I would also recommend going on probiotics to help digestive tract.
