Thank you for posting your query at HCM.
Gall Bladder stores bile. Bile is very important and essential for digestion of Fats.
when gall bladder is removed, fat digestion is IMPAIRED.
a person without gall bladder, when eats a fat meal, its difficult to digest and feels very uncomfortable.
therefore,
advice:
- avoid high fat meal and diet altogether
- may take nexium or Pantocid 20mg once daily before breakfast
- small meals at regular interval is better
- do NOT eat stomach full.
- no cold drinks and NO junk food
- eat more fruits especially those rich in vitamin C (citrus fruits)
- try to avoid drinking water at the end of a meal.
if any further questions, feel free to ask.
