A member asked:
Son had gallbladder removed 7 yrs ago. still always dumping syndrome after meals. questran (cholestyramine) doesnt help. is this common for gb removal? any advice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The gall bkadder emuksifies fat loads and reduces dumping, so this to be expected. How to adjust ? Less saturated and total fat in diet overall, more leaner meats such as poultry and fish instead of red meat, eat more grass fed beef if eating beef. See a nutritionist to fine tune !
