For years I've suffered digestive woes,now they're back. Within 15-45 min of eating a high fat meal I get severe gas pains and cramps,usually ending in watery stools. I had an ulcer in duodenum at 19 and suffered on & off with this and with the above mentioned symptoms. It got so bad one time I lost around 25 lbs in a month. (gained it back now).My poop was dark gray with the diarrhea I had recently, then normal with dark gray streaks and a whitish color on part of it.I've had 2 ultra sounds done on gall bladder and liver, everything OK except small spot on liver which dr said was a blood vessel and was normal,(had that about 2-3 yrs ago. Any ideas?

Any ideas? Sure. Stop eating high fat content food immediately. Even though I've had my gallbladder removed years ago, if I eat a high fat content meal I suffer the consequences later. Would suggest a simple blood test instead of an expensive ultrasound for your doctor to see the functionality of your gall bladder. Much better than an ultrasound.

You could have irritable bowel syndrome as well, which reacts badly to certain foods and certain moods. If the fat food has this effect, simple, stop eating it!

Everything came back normal on all my tests and then they found out my gallbladder was spastic, wasn't working in rythum. They ended up taking it out but only half the symptoms went away. If you think you went to the bathroom a lot before you ain't seen nothing. And as the saying goes never trust a fart.
