What reason is total abdominal discharge after gall bladder operation?

1. After cholecystectomy, a large amount of bile produced by the liver will directly and continuously flow into the duodenum, which will lead to malabsorption of bile acid and excessive bile acid into the colon. After excessive bile acid enters the colon, it can stimulate the colonic mucosa to secrete water and electrolyte, and in severe cases, it can cause diarrhea.

2. Excessive bile acids entering the colon can also stimulate colonic peristalsis and accelerate the passage of intestinal contents through the colon, thus aggravating diarrhea. Studies have shown that the time for intestinal contents to pass through the colon after cholecystectomy is shortened from 51 hours to 38 hours.

3. Due to the excessive loss of bile acids, when eating foods with high fat content, the concentration of bile acids in the intestines is not enough, which can lead to the disorder of fat digestion and absorption and aggravate diarrhea.
