Had Gall Bladder Removed. Is It Common To Always Have Diarrhea After?
I had my gall bladder removed july 3, 2013. Is it common to always have diarrhea after? I haven t had a solid stool yet and was wondering what that meant. Also I have been under a great deal of stress lately. Could that cause vaginal spotting when I had a complete hysterectomy two and a half year ago?

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar and I am pleased to assist you.
Yes, diarrhea is known complication of gallbladder removal . It is self limiting and will resolve in a few weeks time. If it is very disturbing, you can discuss with your doctor about taking cholestyramine. Avoid fatty food.
No gallbladder removal and stress do not cause vaginal spotting.
I hope that answers your question.
