Diarrhea Or Constipation After Removing Gall Bladder, Change In Color Of Stool. Suggestions?
Hi Doc. I am 71= AND HAVE HAD MY gb REMOVED. in 1996 since then my bowels I have either Diarreah or constipation. either way they seem to change colors depending on what I ear, mostly dark green. I eat alot of green vegetables so the next few day after eating these, my stool is always dark in color. Is that a problem? Thank you.
