I am really tired of this. I have had it since surgery and kept hoping it would fade away. I had my gallbladder removed just 3 weeks ago and the smell is worse. The loose stools has become my new normal, but that two has a foul smell. Besides taking gasx ( as it can make things hurt some) what can I do to get rid of the smell or looseness.

Forgot to say I am 5 months post op rny

Loosness is caused by the gallbladder being gone. Try Fiber it may help with both or beeno for the gas

This maybe a real stretch but my step sister cut out gluten for a while and it help after she had her gall bladder out. She was having the same issues. Good luck. I know it's hard...

I actually asked my Dr about this on Monday, because it is embarrassing! Dr said the Splenda, Sweet N Low, and anything with aspertame will do that to us. Great. :-(

I do not eat the artificial sweeteners - they give me a migraine.

Hi, I am new here. Just had my surgery Monday, and got out of the hospital last night. Loose stools, is horrible as well as gas. If your not using artificial sweeteners, what else are you using?
