I do have all the symptoms, you have submitted, except the green color of stool. I have had my gall bladder removed in,1998. Is it true, that your gall bladder can rejuvnate it's self?

Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
No it can't. for that matter no organ can rejuvenate itself.
please try to notice if any particular food triggers your symptoms.
If not, you could be having what we call as an irritable bowel syndrome.
Tab Mebeverine hydrochloride twice a day 10 minutes before food for 5 days will help.
If you don't get better after that please see a gasteroenterologist and get a colonoscopy done.
Relaxation also helps to alleviate the symptoms you are experiencing.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
