I had my gall bladder removed about a year and half ago. Eggs are the one food that I cannot eat without having to run to the bathroom shortly after eating them. I get very bad cramping, followed by diarrhea. I am wondering if anyone else has this problem with eggs?

∙ 15y agoThe function of the gall bladder is such that it aids in the digestion of the food that you eat. Bile released from the gall bladder is used process the food in the digestive system so that they are absorbed in our body. The bile is periodically released whenever there is a need to digest something in the intestine. If you remove the gall bladder then the bile cannot be released periodically whereas it is released constantly to the intestine. For digesting some foods that are rich in fat more quantity of bile is needed. The gall bladder satisfies that need. In the absence of the gall bladder due to gall bladder removal you have to take care that you do not over burden the digestive system by eating high fatty foods. Hence what to eat after a gall bladder surgery counts.You should not eat foods like cereals, whole grain breads, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower after a gall bladder surgery. Usually you will be given liquid foods to eat after gall bladder surgery. Liquid foods do not load the digestive system. Some patients might have nausea even if they eat liquid foods after gall bladder surgery. Doctors prescribe certain diets to eat after gall bladder surgery even if the patient is discharged from the hospital. At home they should follow this diet only so that they can recover as soon as possible. Some patients have constipation due to the medicine taken for the gall bladder surgery. That is one of the main reasons to recommend liquid foods to them. Patients having nausea even after taking liquid foods should be attended by the doctors immediately and appropriate action taken. If the constipation persists for two days and more then the patient is treated with milk of magnesia. Once the digestion becomes normal they would find that the stools are very loose for a few months. You should not eat spicy foods after gall bladder surgery since they produce a lot of gas which may cause discomfort in the patient. To get more information on what to eat after gall bladder surgery, you can seek information from the websites that are dedicated to patients who have undergone gall bladder surgery. These websites provide with a lot of information on what to eat after gall bladder surgery. Discussion forums in these websites help the patients to exchange information and to know the experience of other similar patients.

∙ 14y agoAnything can be eaten, but fatty foods should be avoided until you are healed as eating fats causes the release of cholecystekinin from I cells in the intestine, causing your gallbladder to contract (which will obviously be painful if you are healing!)

What happens to digestion after a gall bladder removal?
Some people fair well and other's don't. It depends on how bad the gall bladder was before the removal of it. I had a tough time because I only had pain under the back of my right shoulder blade and it took doctors 11 weeks to find out it was gall bladder and by the time I had the surgery it took 2 years to get my digestive system back to normal. This is however, not the case with most patients!!! Your gall bladder use to squirt acid into the stomach when you ate and as soon as the food hit your stomach. Now that you don't have the gall bladder and that little duct from the gall bladder the acid will go into the stomach more rapidly and settle in the stomach. Sometimes it doesn't bother some people and others it does. You're stomach will let you know what you can and can't eat. Avoid most fats, but do introduce Olive Oil, etc. (good fats) into your body. Sometimes spicy foods, whipping cream, bacon, etc., are a familiar complaint I hear from friends who have had their gall bladder removed. Alcohol, cigarettes and caffeine can cause excessive acid. Drink at least 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water to help flush out the acids in the stomach. Just try different foods and you'll soon find out if you can eat anything without further annoyance or you may have to avoid certain foods. There is no reason you shouldn't live a good life and enjoy most foods.
Can you eat beef stew if you have gallstones?
My gallbladder had been removed 14 years or so ago. I had a 16 oz steak last night. My intestines are gurgling, and I will have some awkwardness in my digestion for the next day or two because of the fat in steak, but I'll be fine. - stimpy77
What to eat and not eat after your gallbladder has been removed?

How do you relieve pain cause by gallstones?
Generally a cholecystectomy is required to relieve the pain caused by gall stones. A cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gall bladder. You can reduce the pain, however probably only slightly, by taking pain medication. Also, eating fatty foods triggers the gall bladder to contract and try to squeeze bile and digestive enzymes into your small intestine to emulsify fat for easier absorption. If you reduce the amount of fat you eat, it will make the gall bladder contract less often. In the end, though, cholecystectomy is indicated to treat this condition.
What kind of medications do you use for the gallbladder?
If you have gallstones, then you should eat a very low-fat diet and take an over the counter pain medication as needed after consulting with your doctor. If you routinely get gallstones, you should have you gall bladder removed. It is generally a straightforward outpatient surgery. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms and what treatments are available to you.
How can someone continue to live and eat all food types after a cholecystectomy?
Well, you're not going to be able to eat every type of food without a gall bladder. You'll just have to learn to eat less fat and more healthy foods.
