I had my gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago having problems with bowel movements?

I have only had one bowel movement in two weeks since my gallbladder surgery... I am having intense pain in my lower back.. I went to the ER becuase they thought it was a kidney stone and it wasnt. THe doctor prescribed a laxative( Sorbitol) i have taken 2 bottles of that, a bottle of miralax and a bottle a magnesium citrate, enemas and suppositories over the last 5 days and went once. Did anyone have this problem or any suggestions???

My father had his gallbladder out a couple years ago, he takes daily fiber supplements to try and stay regular. My recommendation is going to your local pharmacy or gmc and find a multivitamin or vitamin pack (multiple pills you take daily that all work together) most places are very helpful to try and locate products that work for you. Add to that a fiber supplement (like bene-fiber, ect). Also, in addition to that, there's lots of yogurts, cereals, and snacks that have added fiber or help your digestive system (like activia, or fiber one).

Now, after all that, and you're still having troubles, and the bowel moments have not become somewhat regular, I'd definitely see your doctor if you haven't already.

Good luck!
