A member asked:
Had troubles with gallbladder since 13, when flushing the bile feel better temporarily, will the removal surgery help?or that means diet for life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: I'm not sure what you mean by "flushing the bile", but if you are convinced your pain is due to the gall bladder, then taking it out should make you feel better. There are risks to surgery, however, so the decision takes a lot if thought.
