What can you do if you have digestive problems after gall bladder surgery?

The gallbladder is responsible for storing the bile produced in the liver. If the gall bladder is removed, then this storage function ceases and the bile produced flows continuously. When fatty foods are eaten, there is not enough bile available to break down the food, so fat breakdown is reduced and digestion is impaired, leading to bloating.

The bile produced is then stored in the bile capillaries of the liver and in the bile ducts, causing dull pain around the liver, but it also keeps flowing into the duodenum, so it will be missing when it is needed.

If the amount of bile is insufficient, the endotoxins that cause various diseases are not neutralised.
