Heart burn: Gall bladder is a storage organ for bile . Once Gall bladder is removed, bile starts to reflux , which gives heart burn. You may take Pepcid (famotidine) or ranitidine or Omeprazole in the mean time to help with heart burn. But it is true that body will adjust in few months and your symptoms should decrease.Also take all the diet precautions for heart burn such as avoiding Spicy food, acidic foods, sodas , Jui
