Every time my sister eats she has to RUN immediately to the rest room with diarrhea, I guess this is called "bile dumping".. She also has bloating and stomach pains. This is a real side effect from not having her gall bladder. The gall bladder is there for a reason and without one that purpose is compromised.
I also hope you can resolve your problem without the surgery....You might have to do your own research in this area to get all the facts...Good luck.... |
This is true, however it can be managed with proper diet. The gallbladder deals with fat- so once you have it removed- you should be on a complete fat free diet- which i am- and since seeing a nutritionist (I too had digestive problems afterwards) and taking control of my diet- i haven't had a problem.
