Gallbladder gone

I keep forgetting to say that I had my gallbladder removed years ago. Have had issues ever since. I have weeks of diarrhea at a time. No pains, no notice, no time to get to the bathroom. Then it goes away for weeks before it returns. The no pains or cramping is what throws me.

You should speak to your doctor about questran. I've never used it but hear it's really helps.

Have you noticed that it's hormonal or cyclical, coming along during hormonal fluctuations every month?
