Question 1

what foods should i avoid to reduce a gall bladder attack?

Accepted Answer

Fatty, Fried Foods: The function of bile is to absorb fat from our diet. Fatty meals cause the release of a hormone (cck) that stimulates the gb to contract. Therefore, a low-fat diet is advised. Unfortunately, an attack can occur unrelated to food. The only definitive way to avoid a gb attack is gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy). Good luck!

Question 2

Post surgery care: There are several possibilities, including passing a gallstone from the lower duct. If your pain is not controllable with your prescribed pain regimen, okay to call in to your surgical team. Be well.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Yes, : It could. I hope you are treated properly and after the inflammation subsides one should consider removal of your gb that has probably stones in it. Do not gamble severe complication can occur so the best is get rid of it as soon as you will be in best of shape. Nobody like to operate during inflammation unless it is a must.

Question 5

which foods are best for your liver and gall bladder?

Accepted Answer

Healthy: Eating a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables, avoiding a lot of meat, avoiding fried fatty greasy foods, avoiding alcohol. Avoid risky behaviors that might risk exposure to hepatitis virus.

Question 6

why would the removal of the gall bladder cause diarrhea?

Accepted Answer

No reservoir 4 bile: The gallbladder normally serves to store bile that is made continuously from the liver.  After a meal, the gallbladder contracts, ejecting bile into the intestine, to aid in digestion.  When the gallbladder is removed, the bile no longer is stored but excreted continuously into the intestine.  If there is no food, the bile can be irritating and cause diarrhea.  Over time, this should improve

Question 7

what kind of food is suitable for after gall bladder removal in a teen?

Accepted Answer

GB Removal Diet: Many physicians do not restrict diet except for perhaps a short period of low fat foods. That period may vary from 4-6 weeks. Following that time frame, a regular diet is encouraged and usually well tolerated.

Question 8

what are reasons why would the removal of the gall bladder cause diarrhea?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't: Removing the gallbladder does not lead to diarrhea , as your bile production has not changed. Some people do develop urgency after gallbladder surgery. That is, about 30-40 minutes after eating the patient has an aggressive need to have bowel movement which may be loose. This is self limited, but can be eliminated with Imodium (loperamide) ad. I allow my patients full dietary intake after surgery. Good luck.

Question 9

can a distended gall bladder cause swelling and make it hard to eat much and drink much?
