Ok, as a nurse and a post cholecystectomy patient myself, I need just a little more information. Is whatever you are eating causing pain or is it sending you to the potty? If it is making you go to the potty right after you eat and giving you crampy, loose stool, this may be dumping syndrome. It's very common after GB surgery. It's been over 10 years since my surgery, and I still have it some...not nearly as often as I used to, though. And I can't tie it to certain foods, although I've tried. For me, it happens really quickly...hubby is used to sitting at the restaurant table alone to finish his meal while I dash to the bathroom for 10-15 minutes. If this is what you are experiencing, I recommend doing a web search for "cholecystectomy" or "gallbladder surgery" and "dumping syndrome". Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Heather |
