A member asked:
Can gallbladder surgery cause you to develop acid/bile reflux?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Once a bad gallbladder is removed and those symptoms fade, your underlying bile/acid reflux may become more symptomatic. Bile binders and anti acid medications can help you. Okay to check in with your surgeon or your regular doc. Be well.
