If you get your gallbladder removed and your surgeon says it could cause diarrhea for a while but your discharge papers say take stool softener because of the pain medication? Listen to the surgeon.

It hasn’t been a fun couple of days.

Thank you for reading my very short rant. Back to the bathroom!

    More seriously, my sympathies.
    If you don’t have one already, consider a bidet.
    It’s nice enough on the day to day, but when you’ve got diarrhea it helps making it more bearable.

      This so much. If you can swing it the warm water option ones for winter are even better. Luxe Bidet makes affordable ones that I found easy enough to install.

        I mean diarrhea still sucks, but at least you don’t also end up with irritation from wiping so much.
