The cause of diarrhea after gallbladder removal is mainly due to the loss of the gallbladder as the “warehouse” for storing bile and excreting it on time. It can be treated in the following ways.
1. Dietary adjustments: After gallbladder removal, you should have a low-fat diet and limit the amount of fat intake, especially you should not eat too much greasy food at one time (such as fatty meat, butter, etc.). Three to six months after the operation, and then according to the body’s response to fatty foods, gradually and appropriately increase some fatty foods, continued to the usual normal amount.
If any discomfort or diarrhea occurs, then reduce some or temporarily do not eat fatty foods for a few days as appropriate. It should also be noted that if too much vegetable oil is eaten, it can also cause diarrhea and other symptoms.
