Hi, I havent been here in a while. Im almost 5 yrs out from RNY and it seems I have loose stools all the time. Im wondering what could be causing this and could it be that I no longer have a gall bladder? I noticed it after being sick with a sinus infection and being on anti biotics but im not taking them anymore but my problems continues. Any ideas?

Antibiotics kill the good bacteria in your gut.  Maybe a probiotic  would help?  Or you could eat  yogurt everyday for a few weeks.... but make sure you eat a yogurt with live cultures.

I take a probiotic every day, and if I were or had been on antibiotics, would definitely double up for a couple of weeks!!!
