Bye-bye gallbladder, bye-bye salad?!

pdxwine

I had my gallbladder removed many years ago. I know what you are experiencing and for me, it has gotten must better.

There aren’t particular foods that set me off anymore, but I still do know that when Mother Nature calls, I have to answer right away.

This may be old but very relevant to me right now I had my gallbladder out on 6/9/22 and was sick for a week then got a huge appetite including salad until my thighs started to cramp up to the point where I was falling often and my pain lvl came way back I went to the ER 4 days ago to find out my bial was leaking past the surgical clamp and the void in my body had filled up so they put me in the OR right away to wash it out and install a stent I got sent home today after eating pancakes at the hospital and I thought salad would be a good low fat lunch and well I got sick right away and have 3x since today even water just before looking this thread up I guess I am not touching greens anymore and taking it easy and try a meal replacement drink low fat in the morning

hi there. Super old thread but I needed help so glad I found this. I have had digestive issues, IBS and gastritis and gained weight fast over 5 years. I was getting vertigo, marks on my tummy, other issues almost weekly. Found out, by (15) doctors giving up since I had been poked and prodded for 5 years every 6months, (hormone, heart, vein, thyroid, diabetes, or anything else wrong) it must be in my head but I could not give up during covid. I got so the vid for 30 days, lost my taste & smells for 10 months. Finally someone listened and checked my urine. Turns out it was insulin resistance !!!!! For two years I went strict low carb reversed my entire health. It was amazing and I dropped 65# but my new doctor was rude, she replaced mine that went on maternity leave and decided not to come back, New person still called me obese when I was 164, 5'5" and just lost 64# never said I did a great job for reversing heart health, everything, but hey good news you can go back to eating normal. UMMM WRONG. She ruined me and I did not know until too late you should never say that. She should have weaned me back but she did not. I started getting sick again, got back to back E.coli, infections, flu like symptoms often, gained 30# back and just felt worse. Then my gallbladder broke. Turned out removed I had Biliary dyskinesia so half of it was completely hard from chronic inflammation. I am assuming from food since I was always sick prior to pancreas overload and insulin reverse. Maybe it was culprit entire time and my body just did deflection of symptoms and issues. I went through so many doctors(15), procedures and surgeries to feel better and it was a simple test everyone overlooked so I felt like she wronged me. Now 2 years this month, I am gallbladder-less and I feel bad again. I decided I will go back to my kinda strict low carb, but cannot eat healthy food or I am in bathroom so fast and all the time, liquidy. I have to do gluten free now or I get hives and stiff to walk. I am hoping my levels are not screwed up again since I was in the normalcy for heart, everything but I am back getting heartburn and attacks again. I used to pass out often from vasovagal syncope disorder turned out from eating beef and now it is back but sometimes with too much gluten. I recently this week, had should pain so bad from gas, then my anxiety kicks in making my back seize up worse with worry. I keep myself up at night worried I will die. I feel weak and it is just because of BM's nothing heart related so it is scary until I go to the bathroom. It is like it is getting stuck in my body and others think I am overreacting but my body feels bad and it is physically exhausting.

I just needed to get it off my chest as I always am worried about what can I eat and not get sick now and I am almost 195 again and my doctor failed me. I hate myself right now and I feel lost. I am too old (47yo) for this crap. I appreciate others are struggling eating healthy. Bad food don't make me sick oddly enough they just make me fat. Living with high anxiety and ocd is bad enough to manage. Crying .... Thanks for your read.

It is interesting that many people tend to go back to the old eating ways that brought on the problem. If a low carb diet fixed the problem ..why stray from that strategy. And .. If eating bacon twice a day makes someone feel ill. Stop eating bacon. I guess the desire that we can fix ourselves and go back to old behaviors is very strong and it obviously never works. yet we all keep doing it.
