Gut doctors explain why life without a gallbladder can lead to urgent bathroom trips
Gallbladder removal can lead to urgent bathroom trips due to changes in bile flow, as explained by gastroenterologist Dr. Joseph Salhab. After surgery, bile drips continuously into the intestines instead of being stored, which can stimulate gastrointestinal movement. Patients are advised to manage symptoms through dietary adjustments and possibly medications, with ongoing support needed for recovery.
