Try Questran. It stopped my runs and made me normal. Its a yellow powder that you mix with water or juice. You need a perscription. Its not expensive either. I use 1 packet every other day. Works like a charm.

I just had my gallbladder removed 9 days ago and all my symptoms i had before the surgery are now back. Has anybody else experienced this? Is it normal and if so, how long does it take the body to adjust.
any help would be greatly appreciated

I had my gall bladder removed almost 4 years ago and have had to drastically change my diet. I avoid high fat and high acid foods including things like bacon and citrus. If I am not careful a combination of foods will trigger pain. I do take antacids daily and must eat small meals throughout the day. If you let your stomach get empty the acid will becoem a problem. If I do that I eat a small peice of bread or a plain cracker to alow the acid to settle.

In my case, my gall bladder became infected and burst. My recovery was 8 weeks but my food choices are forecver changed.
