I had my gallbladder removed 10/2002 and have been stricken with the "run to the bathroom" diarrhea. I recently had a really bad craving for some nuts and bought a can of mixed nuts. I would come home from work at night and eat about a handful and I thought I was crazy but my stool was back to normal for the next few days. Normally I will take an imodium every morning (sometimes 2) to keep it under control, but have noticed that nuts do seem to help better than the imodium. I unfortunately did not get the weight loss - instead, weight gain (20 lbs). Nice to know that there is others out there with the same problems.
