| Oohh - so sorry you're going through this. I have not experienced what you describe since having mine removed, but I hope you feel better soon.

| I had mine out 2 years ago..... and there are still foods that affect me!! Mostly fatty foods, but also poultry and soups with a lot of broth. Eventually you will figure out which foods are "absolutely nots" and some that are.... "occasionally but not too far away from home". I know this may not be much help........ but I do know that with time it has gotten better and I know what to eat now with no probs.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Trying to figure out the common thread here in muffins, pb/toast, and salad! How frustrating for you! What are you drinking w/ those meals vs. the other meals that don't bother you? Anything different? If morning bothers you, it makes me think your blood sugar is quite low when you wake up (making you quite sensitive to carbs). Have you tried having only protein for breakfast? Or, protein and fiber? Have you ever tried Kashi GoLean - I have this as part of my breakfast (mixed w/ yogurt and PB2) and it is a great cerel - mostly protein and fiber.

| Ok, as a nurse and a post cholecystectomy patient myself, I need just a little more information. Is whatever you are eating causing pain or is it sending you to the potty? If it is making you go to the potty right after you eat and giving you crampy, loose stool, this may be dumping syndrome. It's very common after GB surgery. It's been over 10 years since my surgery, and I still have it some...not nearly as often as I used to, though. And I can't tie it to certain foods, although I've tried. For me, it happens really quickly...hubby is used to sitting at the restaurant table alone to finish his meal while I dash to the bathroom for 10-15 minutes. If this is what you are experiencing, I recommend doing a web search for "cholecystectomy" or "gallbladder surgery" and "dumping syndrome". Hope this helps. Thanks, Heather |

| I had my gallbladder out years ago and have pain still when I eat certain things; ie, peanut butter. It doesn't matter what time of day I eat the food and sometimes I don't get the pain and sometimes I do. I also have "dumping syndrome" especially after eating beef. I hate it!

| Oh goodness, I just called yesterday to get my surgery scheduled for October 8th. I've read about the "dumping" and read an old forum on the internet between a lot of people who all had their gallbladders taken out. Some were perfectly fine after a week like nothing had ever happened and others had a similar "itchy" feeling where the incision in the belly button was in addition to other things. My doctor said that a high carb/low fat diet would be necessary. But with the "dumping syndrome", I don't know if this would make a difference or not. Maybe you could jot down little notes about what and when you eat and on a seperate note pad write down every time you have an "episode".....then see if there is a connection. |

| I read about the terrible gas pain ! They say the best thing you can do is walk to help get the gas out. My major problem is that I can't walk yet due to my reconstructive surgery on my knee. I am still with crutches and a 5 pound brace . I'll remember to use the Vit. E. I didn't have a "gall bladder" attack, but instead pancreatitis (the day I was being relased from the nursing home from PT on my knee....I'm 41). Sheesh, that was yet ANOTHER procedure and 5 more days in the hospital. Did you stay overnight at the hospital or go home the same day? |
