lily,I had my gall bladder removed in 1976 and since the had attacks of diarrhea almost daily and did not want to go any where. I started the caltrate plus calcium supplement in the purple and white box one with each meal and the diarrhea has stopped. It is pretty amazing that such a simple thing can really help.. You should try it.. Don't put it off I surffered for 23 years and from the first day on the calcium I knew I was doing better. It has been good for over a year now. If I stop the calcium the diarrhea comes back. Let me know if I can help you. Email me if you have questions.LindaLNAPE###AOL.COMt
