Can gallstones cause severe diarrhea?!


Question:

Can gallstones cause severe diarrhea?

I went to the doctor because last week I got sick from vomiting for a day and then for five days I had diarrhea. She thinks it is my gallbladder. I went and had an ultrasound and she says I have gallstones that are causing it. Is this so i am a 21yr. old male? I still have diarrhea and waiting to meet a surgion.


Answers:

Yes they can, however removing the gallbladder does not always stop the runs.
My husband and I have both had ours removed, and despite our not eating fried foods we still get the runs.

Sorry. Oh, and age matters not, my cousin was 19 when he had his removed!
