<s>[INST] I had a cholecystecomy just about a year ago and have experienced nearly constant bouts with diarrhea and hemmorhoids. I never had problems with either prior to this surgery yet my physicians do not seem to think it is a problem. Should I be concerned with anything other than dehydration? [/INST] hi.thanks for posting query at HCM.The cause of diarrhea after gallbladder removal is not certain.Some experts believe that it results from an increase in bile, especially bile acids which may act as laxative in the large intestine. it should subside soon, usually lasts from few days to few months.advise:- Avoid high-fat foods, fried and greasy foods- Add soluble fiber, such as oats and barley, to your diet. But be sure to increase the amount of fiber slowly, such as over several weeks, because too much fiber at first can make gas and cramping worse.- Eat smaller, more-frequent meals. - avoid caffeine and dairy productswish you good n sound healthregardsDr Tayyab Malik </s>
