Why am I having new problems after gallbladder removal?
I am a 19 year old female. I have had Acid reflux my entire life and I recently had my gallbladder removed, which helped to a degree, but now I'm having other kinds of pain I don't understand. I don't know if its related or not. I thought it was a kidney infection, but after I visited a walk in clinic, they said it couldn't be an infection. I have sharp pains and dull aches around my torso, my neck and back, where my kidney is, and the area where my gallbladder was. I always feel like I have to pee, I'm more nauseous than before, and I'm just getting really tired of all this. I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere close to finding out whats wrong with me. I've been in constant pain my entire life, it's starting to get worse, and that's why I'm asking strangers.
60% of post-GB removal patients suffer from magnesium deficiency and 40% from calcium/magnesium deficiency.
When the gallbladder is removed, vitamins A, E, D, K, and essential fatty acids are not absorbed properly.
These deficiencies will lead to the development of additional conditions, on top of what the the gallbladder removal failed to correct. The underlying cause, was definitely not a defective gallbladder to start with.
It might have been a shot in the dark, specially when there was no mention of direct gallbladder issues in your post.
Do you know your gastric acid levels?
If not, do the Betaine HCL challenge-just follow the simple label instructions and after a few days if you feel a notable improvement, you have low gastric acid.
You can also do the baking soda burp test.
1/4 teaspoon baking soda in a 1/4 cup of water, drink it and
if you don't burp significantly within 3 minutes, you have low gastric acid.
If you are on acid reducing meds, in such case, you WILL
undeniably 100% continue to have health issues.
So you need to rule this out!
Are you taking any bile salts? If not, look into it.
Your body still needs bile production through the liver and for that you need cholesterol, the main ingredient for bile.
You need to take healthy unprocessed fats in order to function better and you must of course make the right choices .
Eggs, liver, butter, coconut oil, cream, are some foods I would use.
I hope this helps,
