Issues after Gallbladder removal

by KiraLindz, Oct 30, 2008 03:41PM
I have read on couple sites including this one that having your gallbladder removed is no big deal.  NOT TRUE! I am 25 years old and I had my gallbladder removed when i was 19 years old.  Since it was removed I have had horrible digestive problems that were NOT temporary!! I am not longer about to digest food without taking digestive enzymes, I am no longer able to drink alcohol because of the horrible effects it has on my intestines and I suffer everyday with bowel problems as well as intestinal pain! None of these symptoms existed untill the gallbladder was removed and none of these symptoms have lessened since it was removed. I now have to take digestive enzymes EVERYtime I eat even if Im just grabbing a handful of chips to snack on... If you have been told that you need to have your gallbladder removed I HIGHLY recommend getting a second opinion from a naturalpathic doctor.  I know 4 other people who have had there gallbladders out as well and they all suffer from the same things i do and have for year with no relief in sight! Please if you are under the age of 65 do whatever you can to hold on to that organ!!
