Sorry I have questions about bowel movements but as I am reading through the forum the frequency of the diarrhea questions and/or comments seem to be popping out to me.
Are you having diarrhea because your gallbladder has been removed at the same time and you actually have the postcholecystectomy syndrome? Or is the diarrhea just a side effect from the surgery?
I am wondering just how bad it can get since I already have chronic diarrhea from having my gallbladder removed in 2016 and my GI doctor recently prescribed Welchol for it. But before that I was just taking Imodium when we ate out to avoid an immediate bathroom break. Is diarrhea a big component to the weight loss so much so that taking medications would interfere with weight loss? I've read where some of you are controlling it with iron and calcium supplements.
I'm a disabled SAHM so I can access my restroom easily but if my diarrhea were to worsen where I was incontinent it would be pretty demoralizing regardless if I'm simply at home. We are going to go have a consultation asap with Dr. Ayoola and I will ask him as well but wanted to see your thoughts first. Thanks.
