Re: Chronic diarrhea after gallstones surgery

I had laparoscopic gall bladder surgery two months ago in late June. The recovery wasn't easy but it was normal and after a month I felt ok enough to go out. I even painted a room two weeks ago. Last week I ate a hamburger at MacDonalds and 2 hours later I was in real pain, upper right quadrant. I had eaten a hamburger a week or two earlier so I don't know if there is a real connection but the pain was and still is fierce. I had blood tests and they showed normal liver functions and pancreatic and kidney functions and a normal ultrasound, but the pain was still there and my white count showed a slight infection. I am on antibiotics for 5 days and on a no fat diet but it still isn't any better, pain in the front and in the back right hand side, my internist said it might be a small stone or gravel, I have no jaundice or fever so nothing is stuck. Other than liver flushes which I am told can be extremely dangerous, what else can I do? I am going to see my surgeon this week but meanwhile this is awful, belching, nausea, and pain...and lets not forget the runs...which I didn't have after surgery when my bowels were quite normal after a week...any suggestions?
