It should have a stronger leaning towards the omega 3 fats for the benefit that those chains of acids provide as a balance to the omega 6 chains and the iecosanoids that they produce. http://dietary-supplements.info.nih.gov/eicosanoids/ You should also eat more often throughout the day so that the liver and intestines are not burdened all at once with a large meal of proteins and fats ( I'm thinking of the essential type here ). This should help you to avoid some of the other unpleasantries of not having a gallbladder, such as diarrhea, or incomplete digestion of foods, which should start with the thorough chewing of it. It may make you the last from the table as others wait for you to finish eating but the benefit of chewing food thoroughly can't be expressed enough. I'm sorry that you're going to have to deal with a surgery such as the removal of the gallbladder but it simply can't be helped in some cases because of the way bodies vary in getting diseased, and how they heal from disease. There is just too much power in the hereditary factor ( although there is some new thoughts on that too - see link ) along with other factors having precursored the need. Some of us just have to accept that fact and move on with living life as best we can. I wish you the best and am hoping your surgery and recuperation time go well for you. http://ca.news./021110/6/q5yt.html Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
