No gallbladder

I do not have the time or energy or even the space to make homemade sauerkraut. I am going to stick to bubbies because it is the best option for my family and me at this moment. I wouldn't be opposed to buying a better brand but I haven't been able to find anything that comes close to bubbies in stores.1

Yeah, I have to admit, it does take time... and I don't have young children at home occupying my time and seeking my attention.
My H does that, enough for 5 kids.... !
Fortunately, his days off don't always coincide with mine, so I get some free-me time!!0 -
@AlexandraCarlyle I have read that and it seems there are varying sources that say do it and others that say don't. Right now though I'm doing apple cider vinegar which seems to be helping, fermented foods like sauerkraut, probiotics, and a digestive aid. So far all of that seems to be helping 98% of the time.
But from what I have read the first 3-6 months after gallbladder removal can be pretty rough while your body adjusts. Hopefully in another couple months all will settle down and I can transition back to lower carb.
@kdz0444 - just watch that ACV. For me it was FANTASTIC at first. Until it wasn't. Now I've had to drop it completely. It was causing a weird Reflux/breathing issue...0 -

@KnitOrMiss I don't do it everyday but about once a week or so. I have found that lemon juice helps quite a bit.0

@kdz0444 - One of the low carb gurus suggested upping the DE level to 2 pills with each meal. Since doing that, I've had almost no issues. My body changes all the time. It's hard to keep up. (Honestly, I think getting some liver support improved the liver function, making the extra acid no longer needed, but the enzymes still needed...or something along those lines...)0 -
Hmm I will have to look into more. I have only been taking digestive enzymes once a day because they are expensive and we can't really afford for me to be taking them more than once a day right now. The whole unexpected surgery and no insurance really screwed things up for us financially especially after an already hard past year that included 2 job loses and a career change and spending 5 months almost homeless. And then someone hit my car while it was parked and ran causing more financial issues but luckily car insurance covered all but my rental car. I'm sure the stress of everything isn't helping my digestion and I'm 99% sure I have general anxiety so I'm sure that makes things difficult as well.0

Goodness, @kdz0444 - that's definitely more than your fair share of stress and burden! I hope you catch a break soon.0

@KnitOrMiss thanks! We are hoping that things get better soon. Will be paying off getting my gallbladder removed til we die lol hopefully we get things handled and I'm able to get a better digestive aid and all that jazz.1
