I have had ongoing problems since having my gallbladder removed. They are calling it IBS but it started just after my surgery. I have to be really careful about what I eat. One thing that is odd is that I cannot drink anything that is carbonated. AT ALL. It will set of an episode like you would not believe. I am on some medication for it but I still cannot eat many things. I have done research and a lot of IBS sufferers started having problems after their gallbladder was removed, but my doctor says there is no connection...???

Ok, at least I am not alone. Thanks for your responses, hopefully, like many of you have experienced, I will get better. I will go insane if thats not the case. Oh, this body of death!!!!

I know lots of people who had their gallbladder out and had not issues. I also had no issues with mine.

Have you told you doctor (GP) about your issues? I would worry about pancreas problems or other issues.

I shocked myself by lapsing into constipation after my gb removal. Odd, odd, odd. It went away in 6 months.

Yes, they did a physical and I am SO looking forward to an endoscopy/colonoscopy next week .

I have a friend up the street who had his out and is feeling great! It took me about 6 weeks for the pain to go away - I dont do well with pain and recovery. And now, I dont do well just eating......and I am not overweight or anything!

I had mine out last month, and my appetite has completely gone away. I'm not having pain or anything, but I have no appetite. I have to make myself eat. Things taste a little strange, but that could well be because I'm on an eight-week course of antibiotics for Lyme disease.
