What a nightmare this has been. Been diagnosed with severe IBS years ago. Since gallbladder removal I am so sick with chronic trapped gas and unbearable bloating. I can’t eat anything without getting sick. Had gastritis from the surgery (hell on earth) lost 20 lbs. Only weigh 100 lbs at 5’2". The stomach and intestine pain, nausea etc. is constant. The doctor claims my surgery has exacerbated my IBS. I am down to eating only white rice, carrots, tuna and a limited amount of potato. So disgusted with what this surgery has done yo me.
doctors lie to us patients saying we dont need our gall bladders!!!
Hi Audrey
This is obviously not normal, you should really be looking for a referral to a specialist, according to my surgeon, (had my gb removed in last June) there is no such thing as ibs, it is just an umbrella that gastric issues are thrown under. Have you had any tests done? I was told that it would take my system at least 6 months to return to normal and he was right. It sounds like you are not producing the correct enzymes to break down your food. I do know that gastritis is quite common after surgery and having suffered from this it is horrible.
Good luck
I have lived with this “no such thing” for 55 years. Been diagnosed 4 different times by four different doctors in four different hospitals.
