music1618 879 Posted November 28, 2012 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.

worm2872 635 Posted November 28, 2012 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspl 161 Posted November 28, 2012 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. :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
