Hi, I am just wondering:  I had my gall bladder out in September of 2009 and I am still not able to keep food on my stomach.  Everything i eat I get stomach cramps and then I am running to the bathroom. Why am I still having this problem after I had the surgery?
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Your main complaint is not able to keep food in stomach, and you have to rush to the bathroom after food. This is not related to the gall bladder problem and hence not solved by the gall bladder removal. The causes of such a problem may be either of :::-IBS- Irritable Bowel Syn Chat Doctor. Appendicitis or Nephritis,-Any inflammatory process related to the intestines, this can be ulcerative colitis, large lymph nodes in the vicinity if intestines, procto-colitis as this is a reflex procedure. I would advise you the following:-Relevant tests of the blood, urine and stool.-CT scan of the abdomen,-Colonoscopy.IF all the tests are negative this may be taken as a case of IBS, and stress is one of the most important factor which increases your problem. So the treatment is reducing the stress and anxiety, probiotic, activated charcoal tablets, a course of metronidazole along with antibiotic of 5-day may help. Rest of the treatment may be specific like appendectomy or so as per the findings of the Ct scan and other tests.
