I had my gallbladder removed about a year and a half ago. Post surgery, I was severly nauseated and frequently very dizzy.
My doctor started me on Cholestyramine, which made a big difference as the nausea and discomfort seemed to worsen with diarrhea. If my bowel movements are irregular (in consistency or frequency, I usually go once a day), I also experience nausea that passes after I've gone to the bathroom.
My biggest concern is my almost constant mild dizziness. I never had anything like this prior to the gallbladder removal. I eat a varied, low fat diet, lots of fruit and veggies, no red meat, fried food, alcohol or junk food. I stopped eating dairy a year ago thinking that adhering to an IBS like diet might help.
I have no pain, and virtually no other side effects aside from the constant dizziness and occasional nausea.
Is it related to the way my body is handling bile production? I have read that sometimes the vagus nerve is negatively effected by the stomach emptying process, but honestly I'm not sure what really means, or if it's even a valid idea.
Is there anything that will help me?
