What natural remedies can help with diarrhea following gallbladder removal?
Drinking warm water may help improve bowel movements after gallbladder removal.
Explanation
After gallbladder removal, some people may experience diarrhea. Drinking warm water could be a natural way to help with this issue. According to a study, warm water intake can have a positive effect on bowel movements.
Here are some simple steps to try:
- Warm Water: Drink a glass of warm water in the morning. This may help stimulate your bowels and improve digestion.
- Regular Intake: Try to drink warm water throughout the day, especially before meals, to see if it helps with your symptoms.
While these suggestions could be beneficial, it's always a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider if you have ongoing issues after surgery.
