Question 4

what can i eat after gallbladder removal and which food should be avoided?

Accepted Answer

Trial and error: After gallbladder removal, the bile from the liver constantly drains into the intestine (rather than being stored in the gallbladder between meals and squirted into the intestine after meals).  Bile can be irritating and about 25% of patients may experience gastric irritation or diarrhea. This is called post-cholecystectomy syndrome.  Avoid acid food and fatty food.  Minimize alcohol and tobacco.

Question 7

is it safe to eat fat after gallbladder removal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: ...About 20% of people will have diarrhea (early on) after eating fatty food. The gallbladder's function is to store bile and deliver it to the intestine to absorb fats. Most people w/stones have lost this storage function prior to its removal and don't miss this function.  For those that do develop diarrhea, many eventually adjust or they may take bile salts by mouth to compensate.

Question 8

after gallbladder removal ? do we have side effects life long if we eat fatty foods ?

Accepted Answer

Not at all: The gallbladder is not a vital organ. We restrict diet to low fat only in the pre op condition. Once the gallbladder is removed we lift all restrictions, allowing all types of foods, including pizza, cheese, etc. Some people have temporary urgency in the early post op period, which is self limited. You don't have to avoid fatty foods. Good luck.

Question 9

2 years after gallbladder removal if i don't eat after long periods of time i get really bloated. i can't eat while at work so what can i do ?

Accepted Answer

May be unrelated: It seems likely that your bloating feelings without eating wouid not be related to your gallbladder surgery. See your family doctor for an evaluation to see what might be the cause of your feelings.

Question 10
