Re: (to G) People who had surgery

[Guest guest]

Dear G (I don't know what your full name is),

Just a comment on the digestive enzymes...people eventually need them

whether they have their gallbladders or not...I used them before

surgery, and I still use them. This is esp. true after age 40, but

enzymes are beneficial to all. The health benefits of enzymes goes

beyond just digesting food.

Though things don't work quite the same as they do when you have a

functioning gallbladder in you, the body does compensate by adjusting

the amount of bile it produces. Either way you are working with your

body...if you have a faulty gallbladder, you are working to keep it

functioning the best you can; if you have your gallbladder removed, you

are working to compensate for the changes that come after removal...we

should always be vigilant about our health.

If this is a gallbladder/gallstone discussion group, I would think that

people should feel free to ask questions about anything related to the

gallbladder, including surgery. It is a hard decision to make, and I'm

sure Gabe posted so he could receive some reassurance and

direction....though I don't see a connection to the gallbladder and the

concerns about lipid levels, will have to explore that a bit more.

tell you so when you find it seeping all the time. 20 - 30min after you

eat you will spend some time in the bathroom and it will continue for

years.

Digestion will slow down due to the fact that bile is not readily there

when it is needed. You will have to take digestive enzyme and betaine

hydrochloride to compensate to have remotely equal digestion as before

the surgery. I bet they has just become accustomed to certain

maladies. There are some deficiencies in digestion that they have

learned to live without.

I am wondering why you are even posting here. Sounds like you have made

up your mind and trying to get the people here to agree with you, to m

ake yourself feel better about your decision. The people here want to

get better, but not by losing body parts.

Thank you for the support. I did feel attacked and as you said this

group is called 'gallstones' not 'Save Your Gall Bladder!'.

I will check out your website.

Do most people take magnesium malate? Some websites say magnesium

citrate is the best....or even the calcium/magnesium supplement

together.

Do digestive enzymes help with gas? I always seem to have gas, blech.

Definitely wasn't offended on your take on cholesterol meds. As I

said, lipitor and Tricor messed up my liver. Only slightly, nothing

permanent, but not happy about that. I'm only taking Omacor now and

I can't feel bad about taking fish oils.

I'll definitely turn to the mg malate. That extended release stuff

sounded good...500 mg just sounds like a lot. Has anyone had kidney

stones after starting high supplements on magnesium?
