Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Recommendations and treatments for Consequences of Gallbladder Surgery: Animal-based Bile Salts Once a gallbladder is removed it is important to be on bile acid supplements. They need to be taken with every meal in which fat is consumed otherwise your fats will not be properly emulsified and absorbed. Detoxification Activated Charcoal If a change in your diet fails to relieve diarrhea, then the next step in treatment is to use bile acid sequestering agents, such as activated charcoal or doctor-prescribed cholestyramine (Questran) or colestipol (Colestid). Diet Low/Decreased Fat Diet The long-term side-effects can be reduced or eliminated for people who have no gallbladder by eating a low- fat, high-fiber diet. Fat is the primary stimulus for bile acid production. On a low-fat diet much less bile acid is produced. Plant-Based Nutrition After removal of the gallbladder, a healthy low-fat, plant-food based (high-fiber) diet is very important. High/Increased Fiber Diet Dietary fiber (which is only present in plant foods) will combine and deactivate bile acids, thus protecting the bowel. > > > HI Kirsten, > > Of course our group is about saving your GB and restoring it's health > > and keeping it that way, but practically it makes more sense to try > > and save your Gallbladder.
