Hi Just came home yesterday from gallbladder surgery. It was very inflamed and tissues around it are inflamed. Healing better ....day three now. I have developed oral thrush bad now and think it is systemic. I am on Nystatin swoosh and swallow 4x a day and have stopped all sugars. I am eating lentil soups, vegetables, eggs, chicken, fish, taking probiotics, taking apple cidar vinegar, I am constipated from the surgery and they keep telling it is fine but it doesn't feel fine. any help will be appreciated.

For constipation, magnesium and vitamin c are natural laxatives. Large doses.
For yeast, try Cumanda, an herb from Nutramedix. You can buy it on their website www.nutramedix.com. It's part of the Cowden protocol, but I use it alone to control yeast and it really works well.

After my gallbladder was removed, I had terrible problems with constipation. I was told by the gastro doc that this was "very unusual". He said most people have the opposite problem after gallbladder is gone. Well, I battled with the constipation for months.....and MANY different prescription meds from the gastro that just made me worse. The ONLY thing, that to this day has helped me is a Magnesium supplement. It is by Source Naturals and is called ULTRA-MAGNESIUM. It has several different forms of magnesium in it along with b6. Works wonders!!!!!! I now go like clock work. Sorry if too much information!!

sk8ter, i can so totally relate. I simply used good 'ol fashion prune juice and it worked for me!
I had a terrible bout with the removal. One the morning after the surgery, ThankGod, someone discovered i was allergic to Morphine and brought me out of the coma i was in. Of course they had to do the old way operation, because the stone was to huge, unfortunatly so is the scar.
Hope you get to feeling better, and try the juice what do you have to loose?

WELCOME BACK*)!*)!*)!
Hopefully you had a more modern surgery like mine with just a few little nicks!*)!*!
For me I had changes in bowel function the month following the surgery but THEN it returned to full normal. So Ifigure those changes were my body trying to figure out how to get it all right again!!!
Some people have gas or diarrhea from fatty food after a gb removal. I don't... !*))!*!
I hope you don't either.
I hope you have people around you pampering you and being EXTRA nice*)!*)!*)!! Sincerely, Hugs- Sarah

Are you on pain meds?
some pain meds (particularly narcotics) can cause constipation.
