Hi! I am 5 wks. pregnant. I have a sluggish gallbladder, output of 27% , was to see a surgeon next week about having it removed until i found out i was pregnant. I am now having frequent loose stools. they almost appear oily or fatty.... greenish/brownish... not sure if its from the pregnancy or i guess my fear is that the gallbladder problem has created havoc on my pancreas and im freaking out
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about what you are experiencing right now. A gall bladder problem can lead to diarrhea because food is not well digested as bile from the is very important in the digestion of fats. I will not particularly think that your pancreas has been damaged as you are not presenting with signs of pancreatitis which is often a pain. For now, stay relaxed and follow up with your doctors to figure out the exact cause and propose a treatment plan to you. I hope this ad Chat Doctor.
