Gall Bladder Medicine Question...

Hi Fellow Banders,

My doctor prescribed me Ursodiol to take for 6 months post-op to prevent Gall Stones.

This medicine is tearing my stomach up! I am having (I know this is TMI) total liquid diarrhea. I am feeling pretty good other than this, but the frequent/painful BMs are preventing me from leaving the house for long periods of time.

Have any of you had this experience?  I am going to call the doc to see if there is something else that can be prescribed. If that doesn't work, I am seriously considering risking the Gall Stones. 

I have never heard of this.  Most people I know just end up having their gall bladders removed.  I had mine done 6 weeks ago - was much MUCH easier than Band surgery.  FYI.

Sorry you are having a hard time.  Hang in there!!

They took me off the medicine on Monday, and I am already 100% better. I don't think they could pay me to go back on it. I'd rather have my gall bladder out! LOL
