Post Gallbladder Surgery

I have had my Gall Bladder removed about 10 years ago laproscopically. Since then about every 6 months I get a stomach ache and bloating after which I throw up until I throw up bile. I have been told that this happens if I eat too much of the wrong foods and my existing bladder can't handle its digestion protocol and it goes into a spasm. After I throw up the overproduced bile I feel great until my next episode. Lately these episodes have been increasing in frequency and I'm getting more confused as to what foods I should not eat. I don't get any pain in the upper part of my body like I have been reading about. Has anyone had the same complications or does this make any sense to anyone???

Many people have great success with digestive enzymes and pancreatic enzymes.  This is something you can talk to your primary Doc about.  I'm told that they won't do any harm so really - unless you have side effects - there's not a downside to trying them.  Your Doc might even have samples.  It reduces the amount of work the pancreas has to do which will also reduce any damage to the pancreas.  You can get them at the health food store, too, but make sure they ONLY have proteases, amlyase and lipase.

All the best,

Sam
