Digestive Disorders

Gall Bladder + Diet

03/19/2001

Question:

I had my gall bladder removed 2 weeks ago and I was wondering if I need to watch my diet now? Reduce fatty foods etc...? Will I have problems in the future?

Answer:

This is a question that would be best addressed by a surgeon. In particular I would recommend that you ask the surgeon who performed your surgery about your future dietary restrictions if any. In theory if your symptoms were clearly associated with gallstones (I don`t know what your symptoms were), and the surgeon found gallstones in your resected gallbladder, your problem should be solved.
