Help with yellow diarrhea after gallbladder removal

I had my gallbladder out three days ago. I am feeling great and eating a bland diet... no fat. Today I have had oatmeal, organic turkey and watermelon and I have had five episodes of yellow diarrhea. My dr told me this could happen but I'm freaking out. I am supposed to go on a two-week tour of Ireland on a bus trip with 45 other people with no bathroom on the bus in 11 days. There is no way I can go on this trip if I have diarrhea like this. I had yellow stools before my surgery too which they attributed to my 6% functioning GB. Pancreas andvliver tests gone. I'm taking citrucell twice s day and caltrate. I don't see my dr for another week. Then four days after that I'm supposed to leave for my trip. I am so upset!

Re: Help with yellow diarrhea after gallbladder removal

I would try an even blander diet. I had mine out 8 weeks ago and the first week I ate nothing but egg whites, fat free yogurt, baked chicken breast and low fat cottage cheese (about a tablespoon at a time). I drank nothing but water.
The turkey came after 2 weeks...as did fruit. No vegatables unless they were in fat free soup, like Progresso, but I noticed that potatoes and carrots did not digest and gave me gas pains.

You may be trying to eat too much...Your diarrhea should go away, but honestly, I couldnt have done much in 11 days which involved moving around all day. I was back at work in 8 days, but hurting each day by midday.

8 weeks post op, I am still not eating any red meat (it kills me) and very little salad greens.
I hope you feel better soon!
