Hello, I'm new to the group. I had my gallbladder removed laproscopically 5 years ago. I was suffering with pain in my sternum area as well as stomach issues. I also felt nauseous a lot. After seeing my gastro on 3 different occasions; he finally did a scan of my gallbladder and I had gallstones. I thought that once my gallbladder was removed; I could eat anything! The surgeon told me so.

I'm here to tell you my story. I have not been able to eat every thing without a problem. I am no longer able to process foods high in fat, dairy, creamy sauces, caffiene and some alcohol. There have been times when I eat something and do fine. The next time I eat it; I have to literally run to the bathroom. This has caused a lot of stress in my life and as a result; I tend to stay home as much as I can.

I do eat very bland and stress no butter or oil when ordering food at a restaurant. After having my children; I weighed about 130 lbs. However, dealing with stomach (mainly intestinal spasms) which lead to a BM, I am always on guard. I now weigh 103 lbs. It's the only way to stop this vicious cycle. I have had stool samples done, blood work done and apparently; nothing of concern shows up. I wonder if anyone has had this happen? I wish I had a solution. I just try to eat clean. It's boring and very bland. Can you relate?
