I understand exactly what your talking about. I had my gallbladder removed 3 months ago. Up until about a month ago, everything was great. Now, in the last month, I have been experiencing pain, bloating, cramps, and lots of constipation. I even went to the ER about 10 days ago because I was so miserable. All they did was take Xrays, catscan, and then give me an enema. I feel sick all the time, and when I do have a bowel movement, which is seldom, I am in pain and cramps and it has not been normal for the last month. I have spoken to my doctor several times and been told fiber, fiber, fiber. But that does not work. If anyone else has a solution, please also let me know. If I have to live the rest of my life like this, it is going to be awful! HELP!!!
