A member asked:
Is there any supplement that i should be taking as a result of having my gallbladder removed?

Yes: After gallbladder removal some have problems with fat digestion. Use of a lipase digestive enzym with meals containing fat will help with absorption of your fat soluble vitamins as wellas decreasing the fat dumping diarrhea that sometimes occurs.

None: Generally no supplements are needed. If you are having problems digesting fatty foods a drug called cholestyramine may be used. Of course avoid fatty foods as well, if you are having problems.
