white stools question

I have been having a stomach pains and white loose stools all day. I'm about 2 months out. Any suggestions on what this could be?

Captain Obvious wants to know what you ate.

Best bet: if you've had stomach pains all day, go to the ER in hospital where your surgery was performed.  Could be a bariatric surgeon issue or it could be a gastroenterologist issue.

Still got your gall bladder?

light color stools and stomach pains are two symptoms of gall bladder issues.. get yourself checked out.

I agree with the gall bladder "diagnosis". Rapid weight loss is notorious for causing GB problems-even if non-WLS related. Even peeps who don't have a gall bladded can have problems with extra bile, that has nowhere to go now, and runs amuck. Dis you eat more fat/dairy than usual yesterday?

Best to get they self to a doctor-and tell EVERYTHING you feel/know. Do NOT be shy/hold back with info. You MUST be your own advocate.

Please let us know how it turns out. Other people will follow in your footsteps and can learn from you.

 Lab work will show whether your liver is vulnerable after WLS.  It is fairly common.

Do not even sip alcohol, eat your protein, and check with your doctor.

White stool at any age is not normal and should be evaluated promptly by a doctor. White stool is caused by a lack of bile, which may indicate a serious underlying problem in the liver, gallbladder or small intestine.
