A member asked:
Is it true you need to follow a low fat diet after having their gallbladder removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Your gallbladder stores bile, a chemical that allows you to digest fatty foods. When your gallbladder is removed, you no longer can digest fat as easily. Until your body adjusts, eating a low fat diet will cut down on diarrhea and abdominal pain.
