People with no gallbladder

I had mine out 25 years ago, no problems since. My sister has hers out and for about 15 years could not eat bananas, eggs, raisins, and pineapple. However as been fine since.

Greasy foods and super spicy foods.

Had mine out a year and a half ago, first six months anything greasy or high fat, bleck! Now nothing. Bothers me. For my stepmom she had about a year of no lettuce/cabbage and other veggies but was fine after that.

I had mine out in 2004, a lot of greasy, fatty things bothered me at first, but over time most of the issues went away. The only thing I still have issues with is 1 chinese restaurant in our town. None of the others bother me, just that one. I did have pain again once after it was removed, actually bad enough that I was taken to the ER. The doctor there told me there can be stones that were in a tube when it was removed that can work themselves loose. It sounded odd, and only happened that once, but that was the only thing they could come up with.

I suffered 3 years before I finally had mine taken out! Once I healed (fast) I never had any problem whatsoever!! I have a low pain threshold but that was the pain from hell! First I had problem with fatty foods then it did not matter what I ate or didn't eat. My first and last attack was pancreites! No fun at all!

I had mine out two years ago. I also suffered with severe pains that saw me in the Emergency several times. Drs thought it may have been some stones left in the ducts but I haven't had an attack now for 12 months but I think it was because I had codeine which my body cannot tolerate any more (hence pain ceased as soon as I stopped having codeine). And unfortunately, I own an ice cream shop but can no longer eat ice cream - now that sucks :sad:

Got mine taken out in 2010 and still can't eat any animal fats (creams, butter, etc) or fried food. Sent me into a relapse with anorexia, but fighting my way out of it and finding it fun to come up with gallbladder free recipes (aka ones for people without a gallbladder)

I had mine out nearly 6 years ago and it took about a year to fully adjust. At first, many things bothered it. Then I noticed as time passed that only certain things bothered it: raw salad/vegetables, olive oil, chicken, chocolate, certain types of nuts, alcohol.

As of now, salad and raw veggies are A-OK; I can eat lots of them. Chicken is still pretty challenging, so I limit it to when I have the occasional craving. Olive oil can sometimes bother me, though I've been substituting with virgin coconut oil and it's been great. Chocolate is still challenging for me. I can definitely stomach more than before but I do notice some inflammation around the belly button area (small intestine) when I eat it, so I know that I don't really have what it takes to break it down fully (but I try and try and try ).

As for alcohol, so long as I stick to one drink now (wine, beer, margarita--whatever), my stomach is fine. So, I guess it gets better as time passes. Every now and then I'll get occasional pain/feeling of fullness when laying down, but that's almost always after having a really heavy meal out somewhere, which totally makes sense.

Now, I should mention that I have some assistance. One really helpful tool in my arsenal to help digest is something called "All-Zyme" by DaVinci Laboratories of Vermont (http://www.amazon.com/Unknown-All-Zyme-90-Tablets/dp/B0007A2ELG/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1351567513&sr=1-1&keywords=Davinci+All-Zyme). It's, IMO, the best broad-spectrum digestive enzyme aid on the market and has really saved me while on vacation and during food-related holidays. It has enzymes to help break down vegetables, meat, dairy, and starch. I take it as needed whenever I feel inflammation coming on in that belly button area, and depending on how much fat I've had, I may take more than one. The most I've ever taken at once was three over the course of an evening, and it completely took any pain or swelling away. I also think it's important to note that I never really need to take it when I'm following my MFP calories strictly, so in weight loss mode, I rarely have problems, but if I'm eating more than I burn, all bets are off.

When I first had it out, spicy and greasy sent me running to the toilet. Now, only extremely greasy stuff, and its no where near as bad as it used to be. We're talking like, mozzarella sticks. Mines been out for .. 3 years?

Its been a little over a tear for me, no issues!

Are there any capsules I can take or something that aids digestion for people with no gallbladder?

All-Zyme tablets from Vermont Laboratories are amazing. They make you feel, dare I say, "normal!"

I am a Reg. Dietitian and I work with lots of people dealing with these digestive issues after having a cholecystectomy. I recommend a mixed digestive enzyme (protease, lipase, amylase) and probiotic supplement that you would take with each meal, called- Digest Gold by Enzymedica. I has worked well for many of my patients and i take it as well.

I had my gallbladder removed in 2007. Since then, the first meal of the day, no matter what I eat, runs right through me. It wasn't a certain food but it was just food in general. Sometimes it was even water! I went to the doctor's for it and they told me I have IBS, gave me some kind of medication to calm my system down, and told me to use a fiber suppliment. The fiber suppliment made it worse. I was so bloated I could hardly walk! The medication didn't work that well, and I don't want to be on something for the rest of my life unless it is absolutely neccessary! I've found that since I've been watching what I eat, and since I have been drinking a ton of water, it has gotten better.

My removal back in 2007 was caused, in my opinion, by raw tomatoes. I never eat them and had a salad where they were in them. Was in the Er that night December 11, 2006. Here comes the wednesday before easter and I'm laying on the ground in agonizing pain. Rushed to the ER and didn't have the removal until the Monday after easter. I wasn't allowed to eat or anything until like that tuesday. They said no fatty food but I didn't listen....sent me to liver issues which ultimately led to my weightloss journey and me at my heaviest of 346.4.....
