What Causes Constipation, Bloating Post Gall Bladder, Appendix Removal?
female aged 60, had gall bladder removed, followed a few weeks later by removal of appendix, caecum, ilieal valve and a bit of bowel each side. I ve recovered from initial frequent diarrhoeia. Since then for last 2 years I have periods of constipation and bloating followed by several days passing 4-5 stools of more or less normal consistency, still with bloating, and feeling fairly grim. What s the likely cause?

Hi,
I think this may be caused by a partial obstruction of the bowel from massive surgery you had. I think you may need a colonoscopy to evaluate the bowel passage. Get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
