Hiya just been having a look around the forums and found this thread all about gallstones!! Ive been suffering for a number of years, had them out in 2009 after losing weight on a VLCD they dont tell you that rapid weight loss can do this.
Following the removal i suffered diarrhoea for months on end had tests for coeliacs that came back negative, everything i ate had an adverse effect on me until i discovered the Dukan Diet then it stopped, not suffered with diarrhoea since April. Now and again after eating or drinking i have pain, a bit like a stitch under my ribs on the right side, GP gave me lansoprazole which made me feel terrible, Ranitadine seems to help with this.
GP thinks that i have scar tissue around the bile duct as a result of the operation and has recommended eating and drinking little and often so as not to overstimulate the bile ducts. Think its something that i will always have to manage.
