I am not sure who needs to see this but I wish I would have taken out my gallbladder sooner. I ate perfect for a year, lost weight, avoided fatty foods, etc. And my gallbladder still almost cost me my life. It became black and filled with infection. Some people need to just take it out now.
For sure you do not want to try to keep a diseased gallbladder, and end up with a more complicated surgery.
My experience exactly.
I just had mine removed 4 days ago after years of problems. Should have done it sooner. Being hard headed led to chronic cholecystitis. Ultrasound Ct scans blood work showed nothing. HIDA scan revealed gallbladder operating at 0%
how are you now?
@@azaz... I am healthiest I have ever been in my life. I eat a Keto / Carnivore lifestyle. Yes, there are still challenges with no gallbladder with a high fat diet, BUT there are supplements that can help. For me, eating a high carbohydrate diet seemed to cause more problems.
I had my gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago. A week feeling frigile, but zero issues with digestion and toilet needs.
My energy soars but was advised not to do any running or lifting
My surgeon advised me to eat all stuff I deprived myself of two months before surgery. Thank goodness all is well wish all of you wellness and happier life
Hi how are you doing now? I got mine taken out about a week ago. Im feeling well with my body no more pain and no more painkillers now so happy with that. I tried working out today i did for 30 mins and cycled a bit but i am sooo tired at the end of the day. I am going back to work next week and it scares me haha. What about you?
Digestion system starts to go downhill in few years after surgery if you keep on eating what you used to before surgery. Most doctors just suggest to keep eating whatever you want but trust me it will get worse as you age. Keep up with leas fatty food, less red meat, more green vegetables including bitter gourds and fruits. Take digestive enzymes if you feel digestive discomfort. I also didn’t face that much issues for the first two years after surgery but started going downhill.
@@kantynory2840 ... many thanks for your response. I am concerned about going downhill after few years. I have changed my eating habits after surgery.
I no longer cook with oil or butter
No butter
, no oil
no pasta
no fried food.
no sweets (patisserie )
I have cereal and latte as my routine breakfast.
I no longer do lunch, I have dinner at 8 pm which consists of
salads
fish
chicken
rice
fruits
I have lamb chops or liver once every other month.
after dinner, around 10pm, I have almond milk with homemade spongecake,
every night I have mixed roasted nuts
walnuts
pumpkins seeds
about 1 table spoon of each
am I missing out on any important nutrients/vitamins/food type etc?
I would be so grateful if anyone reading this respond with basic knowledge on eating the right food after a year surgery of gallbladder. I am grateful to all of you who contribute to this request.
Many blessings
Andre
@@artiste924hi
@@artiste924Your diet sounds very healthy to me. I just had mine removed. I’m in the learning stage.
I had my removed almost 3 years ago after an ultrasound revealed I had 2 big gallstones. I waited and had a very low fat diet for six months after I finally decided to have it removed. I was just losing weight rapidly and, every now and then, despite my low fat diet, I would have abdominal pain. I think is the best decision I made, as when the doctor took it out, there were the two big stones probably limiting my gallbladder storing capacity.
After my surgery, it took months for my digestive system to go back to almost normal. In my case, the big mistake I made after my surgery was having a high carb/low fat diet. After increasing my fat and lowering my carb intake, I felt normal once again.
Nowadays I can eat almost anything and just have to avoid too much carbohydrates.
Nutritionist told me to watch fiber in veg/fruits. I eat lettuce helps with loose stools so do what works.
Hi I'm having trouble finding something to digest without having to think about the pain and low fat diet restrictions I had. Any advice to get back to my normal self??
@@wildlifeview Jesus, im veg x40 yr. Damn near all i eat is fiber just cuz that's how it is. How the hell am I going to have my gb removed? It's such a gamble. I've only had 2 attacks in my life and there is a bit of pain...sometimes....IDK what to do...
I am always amazed to hear how it costs people a lot of money to have surgery in the US. I had my gallbladder out last week and it didn't cost me a cent. I even had a private hospital room.
Great video but we have to realize that we had gbladder problems bc of underlying imbalance, and removing the gallbladder didnt correct the imbalance. If we want health, we have to heal on a cellular level, not just remove the gbladder and cut out major food groups. If you are having major problems after removal, it's not just from a lack of gallbladder, it's from all the underlying imbalance not being addressed like toxicity, dysbiosis, parasites, candida, leaky gut, deficiencies, chronic infections etc.
I just had an open surgery 10 days ago. 3 days after the surgery is pure hell. Everything feels a bit better every day after that.
I also don't have any issue digesting anything. The only loose stool that I experienced is the first poop after the surgery.
I'm recovering really fast.
Thanks for the info
I'm facing the same problem as you all the food I used to enjoy before surgery no longer appetizing at... I'm feel nausea ever time I ate solid food I visited doctors they saw nothing,,, now that you have shared this video I fully understand why I'm so sensitive in anything I eat thank you
Hi I wanted to ask how's ur process is going I'm having trouble finding a solution when I got my gallbladder removed Monday. Any tips u can give it can help me in the long run. Thanks
the problem is that once your Gallbladder has gallstone there is no %100 way to flush it, you have no other choice but remove it, to me is been 3 month and I feel way better without it
And the stones can block your bile duct as well which is pretty bad.
I hope this is the case for me 😮
I tried the apple cider trick before surgery but couldn't avoid the surgery. Had to avoid a lot of foods even before because almost everything made me sick. Had my surgery a week ago and my first meal was milk - it was all I could digest initially. I added foods and progressed to fruits, soup, rice, pancakes, bread and even milkshake in a week. Everyone's body is different and we have to figure what works for us. I feel so comfortable eating now in comparison.
Are you glad you did it? Any issues with diarrhea? My referral just went through. I’m pretty sure I have an enormous stone. My mom and grandma the same. I’ve been trying to eat vegan basically. Black beans sent me through the roof.
I have changed my diet and almost done everything to stop my gallstone pain. I am beyond desperate to get my gallbladder out, and have been living in total hell for almost a year now.
I did all that…changed my diet to bland foods, I never ate badly anyway, don’t drink.. I thought because the pain was top center of stomach, it wasn’t gallbladder. My surgeon said gallbladder pain can be center, right side, either one . I did all the holistic remedies..it was a miserable six months, sometimes it just has to come out. At least in my case. I was scared as hell but had an amazing surgical team, I feel so much better already & my eyes are no longer tinged yellow .
@@kimwarner1681That’s great! I just had my GB removed.
I needed this video! One week post surgery! Great information ! I have issues. Thanks
Hope it helps!!
Thank you so much for this informative video, gallbladder issues is so painful and heartbreaking
Less in 24 hrs im about to get in surgery for emergency gallbladder infection removal in the hospital right now
I just went through the exact same thing. I hope you are feeling better now.❤
I’ve had my Gallbladder out 4 years ago. Lots of issues now. I had to learn the hard way that I needed to change my diet. I asked surgeon before and after surgery and he said I could go back to eating the way I did. I wish I’d done my own research before. I’ve had to become gluten & dairy free. Also stopped eating red meats only eat fish, shrimp, chicken.
How are you doing today? Please update us. I need to hear positive stories of people living without GB.
I do need to do an update video. Doing great now actually. Eating mostly what I want, back into competitive sports and feeling great. I’ll do an update soon. Thx for the nudge.
I had gallbladder removal 11dayd ago so far my diet had changed completely
Hi I just got mines removed Monday any tips of the foods ur eating and also any advice. Thanks
Have u lost weight after a week or so and any advice I had mines removed Monday so it's 6 days today. Any tip can help
Absolutely brilliant and extremely informative video. I’m having gallbladder surgery early March and I am so very grateful for anything that might help me feel better after. Thanks xxxx ❤
Glad you liked it. Added a second video a few weeks ago with what I would say is better advice after testing things for a few years. :)
@@iamgreggeorge oh great!!!! Thank you I’ll watch it later. X
Had my gallbladder out 4 days ago.
Was only functioning at 20%
Second problem is I have a heital hernia.
Acid reflux is murder.
How are you feeling now? I’m 3 weeks post op and I struggle with the acid reflux now too.
Thank you for your advice I have just had my gallbladder removed two weeks ago
In the 1990's, while working at Walmart, an older woman told me something I had never heard before. She had a bad gallbladder, quite sick, infected, etc. The doctor didn't remove it but cleaned it out - she had gallstones, an infection, etc. A year later she decided to have it removed and - believe it or not - it had filled up again with gallstones. So, there are valid reasons to have it removed. Just when you think you've heard everything. . . . .
Makes sense. From what I understand, if stones are happening they will likely continue to happen.
you are right sir, i had mine remove a year ago now the simptoms comes back, i regret getting my gallblader removed, because the pain is not gone
Sorry you are still having problems. If you are still experiencing pain, you might ask doc to do an ultrasound to make sure there are no stones left. Hope you feel better.
Very grateful for this video. Thank you so very much for making the effort to help others like me.
Sure thing!!
Had my surgery five days ago and I'm doing pretty good. I want to mention something that I have never read before in all of these videos about what can take place after the surgery. For my first 3 days anything I drank anything I ate went right through me has diarrhea. In those three days I went to the bathroom maybe 25 times. Unfortunately no one told me that was a possibility and it freaked me out. This was the first day I was able to get food down and it stayed down so just be aware this possibility. I've also experienced pretty much all the other side effects that have been mentioned and other videos. This is not a picnic peeps. It's at least three days of hell.... but it will end.
How are you doing now? I just had it about five days ago as of right now. It’s still kinda hard to stand up straight. And does the nausea go away after a while? It’s a little hard to eat and it’s making my acid reflux kinda come back :/
@@ccbred not sure where the nausea is coming from other than it might be from your pain medication....side effects.
I'm into my 5th week now and I'm trying different foods to see what happens. I think it's just going to be a trial-and-error for a while to figure out what I can take and what works. As for how I'm doing overall, I'm about 98% back to normal.... but without the gallbladder pain.
@@Richie07a1 i see. Well im glad your recovery is going well. I guess I just have to be patient
@bred Prob too late but nausea was a big issue for me too.I noticed foods I was eating made it better or worse, pending which food. Over time mine went down to once every 60 days or so. Usually smaller meals would help!
Hello guys ,it’s being 9 days of my gallbladder removed ,getting bk to normal thank u Jesus !!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻,is not easy ..just slow walking ..the 3rd day went to the bathroom ..and now taking care of myself cause I want to get back to my normal
Life ..If u have gallstones ..get ur gallbladder removers ,that’s the best way to choose..don’t be afraid …the Lord is with u who against YOU!!!
Ok guys …have a blessing days .!!
Thank you for this video. I am two days post op and needed this information to help me move forward. Thanks so much.
Thank you for all the great information. I am having mine taken out tomorrow. I'm a little nervous but a car accident caused it to stop functioning and I've been in pain for months. This makes me a little less scared.
You will be fine. Surgery was the easiest part of the whole deal. I think I was “in-surgery “ for like 20 min max.
Just walk around when you can to help the air/gas work through your skin. They put the air in your abdomen to seperate organs while operating and it’s a slow process to come out. :)
@@ggnc1 thank you, I definitely will walk around then.
Thanks Greg! I had mine out 2 months ago, it was full of stones and I am having major issues readjusting. I'm going to go for enzymes to see if that helps. Feel better soon!
Have not had mine out yet trying to figure out what to do thank you for making this I think there’s a lot of good suggestions in here
Glad it was helpful!
Me too. Sepsis. Worst the surgeon had seen. My symptoms however came on suddenly. Two trips to the ER before removal. Horrible digestive issues ever since. Diarrhea every day for a year now.
I regret that surgery every day bill since 4 months ago l am not the same no more if l eat lunch l have to go to the bathroom right way and after that l have zero energy the body is not the same with out the gallblader the bile is not stored no more we only get drops of it from the liver and before surgery l was fine already for 3 months no reapeated atacks but l still agree with surgery biggest mistake in my life .
@bill - it can be rough. check food intolerances, and try the HCL i mentioned in Video 2. Game changer for me!!
@@iamgreggeorge I’ll check the video. I took Dr. Berg’s gall bladder formula for a couple weeks. Didn’t notice too much difference then one day got sick because of it. Took it 1/2 hour before my meal at a restaurant, and vomited, which is strange because the other end is usually the problem so, I stopped taking it. Need to go to the GI.
Just had mine out yesterday. The pain today. Ouch ouch !!! But I've been sick for a yr and a half. Past 6 mos, every day horrible stomach pain every day. No stones, but sludge. God awful bloating .
I was under the hida scan for 2 hrs !
Just getting to reply to some of these comments. Hope you have recovered and back to the good side!!
On July 21, I was diagnosed with gallstones, pancreatitis, and spots on my ovaries (I was previously diagnosed with NAFLD, thyroid cancer, high blood pressure, anxiety)…my fam doc has talked to a surgeon and a Gyno and now waiting for calls from both.
I was in the us army for 10 years and was getting so sick every day, they couldn’t figure it out , I remember them saying and it’s in my medical records , that they were 80 percent sure it was my gallbladder, they took it out and I got even more sick, it’s been 10 years and I’ve lost 40 pounds and life is a challenge now , , I went super healthy, every thing your saying, same with me, then they said because I was still getting sick that , well it not your gallbladder, I was like you all STOLE MY GALLBLADDER LOL
Do they know what was causing your continued illness?
Very good information. I'm going in 10 days for my surgery. Thank you so much!
Im a big guy and they don't want to remove my gallbladder I dunno why, unless if my gallbladder ruptures.
Well, it's been a almost year I experienced my first gallbladder attack..
I cut back on sugars and carbs to cut out the bad Cholesterol because I did have High Bad cholesterol and High Triglycerides too..Im on a KETO diet.
I take TUDCA and Ox Bile salts and they do help in some way..I think I've dissolved some Gallstones and Sludge..This does take months to dissolve the Gallstones..I still have that light mild discomfort, but not as bad like 10 months ago and I also had Nausea for like a month and also a weird itchy palm on my left hand that comes and goes from time to time.
Things are improving but very slowly.
Also, I cut out the Diet Sodas that had produced me a Fatty Liver..Its all related in some odd way.
I get some discomfort from time to time, so im hopeful that everything resolves in the next few months.
Also, Spanish Black Radish dissolves Gallstones..
But i heard you didn't have those issues like most people, you had an Acalculous Gallbladder which is unusual and unexplained..
I hope you have improved and gotten better.
This is all really wonderful advice, most of which I also use after having had my gallbladder removed a few years ago.
I will often take a digestive enzyme supplement that contains ox bile. That helps more than anything.
I also really love to have hot herbal tea pretty often to sooth my stomach. I have additionally used hypnosis and just meditation in general to help get me through.
The worst times were those first 3 years but now I can really throw down some junk food on occasion, not that anyone should but I enjoy it sometimes.
What you said about getting all those foods out of your diet and just sticking to the basics is so so helpful. I've had to do elimination diets like that several times in my life just to reset and find out what is messing up my digestion.
Thank you so much for your video and good luck/wishing fast healing for anyone dealing with similar issues
i had mine out 2 months ago and still have bad gas even with bile salts 125mg each meal. i cant figure out why bile dont work.
@@sjones6852 I'm sorry you're dealing with that. I actually eased off of it and only take that every now and then.
It's rough. I'm still having complications that I feel are related to removal. The episodes get further apart. Until yesterday, it had been a very long time since I dealt with any issues
@@sjones6852 two months isn't long at all. I'd just go really easy on yourself and be very careful with the diet. During my first few months I to eat low fat and learned very quickly that bananas and avocado triggered me. I hope you get relief soon
Day 5 post op and I feel better. I hope it gets better and better from here!
Day 2 post op, still in pain and will only move when I have 2...
@@MrAddidas2 day 7 post op and I feel way better, had Taco Bell a few days ago with with no reactions, been eating pretty normally now with a good balance, no issues!
Good luck to you!
Hope you’ve found a new meal habit that works best for you. My gallbladder is also operating at 5% I don’t want to remove it though despite the discomfort. I’m stretching, increasing water intake, limiting many of the trigger foods, eating ginger chews, and sipping digestive/herbal teas.
Sounds rough. If you can change diet and skip surgery that’s awesome.
The gas pain was the most painful part of it for me . I don’t get how the gas was and the 4 incisions wasn’t but I’m glad it’s not as bad now . I’m day 7 after gallbladder removal surgery . I had gallstones and had a bad gallbladder attack one night and then just had a constant pain ache there . I’m hoping I can get back to normal . I’m eating soup , rice , crackers , plain toast , jello . I’m hoping to Include other foods after week two . I included chicken and it was good .
Yes, gas pain was/is brutal. It will go away. Since they inject it into the negative space in your abdomen, it has to escape thru your skin pores instead of belching etc. Move around if you can and you should be back to it soon!
its gone away almost completely today is day 7 and its so much better. Day 3 and 4 were really bad with the pain. everrytime I would get up to walk it hurt and shot up my upper back and shoulders it was wild. @@surchdigital
Very informative video, thank you! I was wondering any update as far as the digestive enzymes/ox bile you were taking if it’s still the same brand/product you’re using in this video or have you switched over to a a different digestive enzyme/ox bile brand?
Great information! Thank you.
I had a gallbladder surgery too recently n shared my experience on my channel
I am almost three years out. Still have a tender gut and frequent bowl movements. Just can’t get back to my pre gall bladder self. It’s very frustrating.
I know the feeling. Choleystramine can help with the GI part if you can get an RX for it. Maybe not long term but just to get you over the hump.
Thank you. It has been 10 days since my gallbladder removal. And I'm still in slight pain still getting out of bed or certain movements is painful still. Feels like incision stretching or opening up. Feels like a ripping feeling.
Take it easy!
i almost died, dont remember the first 3 days in intensive care, in the end after a second flair up, they had no choice but to remove it then.
I’m getting a hida scan done Tommorow , I have been experiencing oily orange stool(steatorrhea).
There also saying my liver seems to being affected as well
Did anyone here have unexplained weight loss with gall bladder issues?
Thank you so much. your video is very helpful. i had my gallbladder out last year (sept). and lately, i was feeling weak and sometimes i feel dizzy. i cant figure out why....i tought this only happends to me thats why im depress most of the time thinking that i am SICK.. and that makes me more weaker over thinking about whats going on...
Can you eat anything now? I had mine out last Wednesday. Doing well & looking forward to being able to slowly eat all the things I have avoided the last six months. They said I can eat anything now just two weeks of bland foods, than incorporate chicken, things like that, wait 30 days to go back to normal diet. I hope never again to feel that super constricted tightness right under breast , top of stomach, omg it was awful. I never thought gallbladder because it was top middle of stomach. My gi dr never did any imaging & thought it to be gastritis. My eyes were tinged yellow & so miserable feeling, went to e.r. Last Sunday. I had an emptying scan set for last Thursday, at my request. But, wound up admitting to hospital & got gallbladder out Wednesday. Stones & inflamed, elevated liver enzymes, it was bad . So glad they caught this!
Hi I wanted to ask any advice u have I had mines removed Monday from this week and having a hard time getting back to my weight. Any tips can help . Thanks
@@alexlabra1562 You will be okay but I have learned it will take one full year to really heal from this surgery. Stomach surgery is a major trauma to the body so the bloating you are seeing will take time to go away. Give it a couple more months but I finally had a physician assistant who really explained how this works. It’s not as simple as some doctors or my surgeon made it sound. It was more than two weeks before I was able to do any full routine or wear jeans again. I was told I would be fine in two weeks but that wasn’t true. Now, I can go back to my normal gym routine now as it’s been almost a year but it took a couple months before I could wear jeans or get most swelling to go away. It was explained to me that you have nerves that are growing back in that area so you will be tender & swollen for awhile & you will feel like a zapping sometimes, that’s the nerves growing back, I was told. I do get heartburn now sometimes but I found an acid reflux medicine that’s all natural on Amazon for around 20.00. It works. So you may deal with that now but it sure beats the pain we were dealing with before.
I had my gall bladder removed back in April and I was doing fine, until a few weeks ago. I started having pain again and nauseous sometimes 😭
Might try a liver detox regimen and Betanine HCL with meals. Tha t has helped me a bunch
Hey man appreciate the video. Im just over 2 weeks of recovery and im recovering good but i had avocados and tomato soup on monday night and threw it up. Stomach is still queasy
Red sauce and avacado have both given me trouble since my surgery. I can do small amounts of avacado, and occasinal red sauce if I take an omeprazole or something..... It should improve over time.
@@iamgreggeorge im hoping i didn't ruin everything:( i told my doctor and surgeon about it. Dont know what i should do
Iam going for my pre op assessment on Monday and than date to get my gallbladder out
I can't stand the way life has been for me since I have had gallstones. I have had intense pain, which is fine for me. The issue for me is the constant nausea I have experienced. I have a phobia of vomiting, so I feel constant anxiety. I want my gallbladder removed so badly. But my insurance won't approve the procedure unless I have more tests that show it is infected, along with being packed full of gallstones.
Did you get it removed? Sounds like hell :(
i too had a bad problem after .
everyday my stomach was churning and making noises ,it was bloated and i had bad gas .
i had no control over my bowel movements! i lost my schedule to poop! as funny as that sounds!
what made me mad is this i could not absorb fat -so i had to take vitamins -no problem -
my testosterone dropped to 329!
testosterone starts out from 300 so i was very low and i felt super old!
my doctor didnt understand what i was going through and she was useless!
she kept telling me that it was "the new normal" -i was like would you say that is i was a woman and going through menopause?
plus im young! im not in my 60's! this has been happening since my 30's.
well -the OX BILE did fix a lot of things!
i also ordered special enzymes to help break down different foods.
i too do ACV -and it helps.
i had a horrible time trying to lose weight!
took the ox bile and it helps with weight loss as well!
In my case, I allowed them to remove the gallstone and sludge obstruction but said no to surgery. When they told me the gallstones in my gallbladder were small, I told them I wanted to try stricter diet and medication.
i wish i had known that was an option going into it. good call!!
Hii , my case is similar to urs. I have tiny stones (upto 10 stones which are 3mm). Docs said surgery , however i dont wanna get it done as im only 14. Kindly tell what u ended up doing. IT'D HELP ME LOADS!...
@@itss4nsh1ne39
Within a year, I did the surgery. Even with diet and medication, it only prolonged it.
@@stevegovea1 so it didnt get any better with medications?? Is surgery the only option. Also pls tell me ur experience with the surgery. Was it painful? Im js really scareddddd
@itss4nsh1ne39
The diet and medication only helped a little. Medication only makes gallstones smaller for the possibility of passing....it doesn't solve the problem.
After surgery, my stomach muscles were sore.
I continued eating healthy, once and awhile I'd eat a burger... my body was back handle, fatty foods well.
I was scared too... most like you'll be ok.
Good advice. Good video.
Thank you so much for this informative video!!!
Thankyou so much! I have had much the same experience as you have had. I had my gallbladder out a year ago. Still having problems with digestion and trying to figure things out! I cannot take apple cider vinegar as it gives me reflux! I know it’s supposed to help with that but it just makes things worse! Currently seeing a Naturopath and hoping this will help!
Thanks for this vid, I could tell a HUGE life story of digestive woes but it would take forever. Eggs, Kraft real mayo, and white rice with butter in it have been some particularly harsh things on my stomach/IBS since getting my gallbladder out in Sept 2021. It was severely diseased and nonworking as well and was the root cause of a lot of stuff making me sick for years off and on. I'm going to try the digestive enzymes you suggested, enzymes are for whatever reason the one big thing health-supplement wise I probably haven't taken. Been on a gnarly vitamin regimen for years now after a horrible adverse reaction to the ppi omeprazole years ago zapped my body of what nutrients it did have, which, admitted were probably quite low already after eating junk throughout my 20s, tons of fast food, and junk as a poor kid (lots of ramen noodles and soda lol). I've cut out 99% of fast food since my surgery as well. I take apple cider vinegar as needed, magnesium glycinate ~125mg twice a day plus I eat at least 1 banana a day too (stretches out the expensive Pure Encapsulations magnesium glycinate I buy-why yes I'm frugal :P), centrum men 1 a day multi, swanson pepzin g.i. twice a day for stomach lining maintenance and the zinc in it for immune health. Thought I was dying years ago from gastritis/ulcers so I take them as maintenance now. 2mg chelated copper swanson brand as the pepzin g.i. zinc can deplete the body's copper if not taken. NOW brand 5000 iu d3, 100mcg NOW brand k2. Not many know about k2 but it's actually quite important to not calcify the arteries when d3 is taken, 500mg omega 3 fish oil cheap walmart spring valley brand. I actually do take one Digestive Advantage probiotic with my first meal of the day which has a little bit of digestive enzymes inside of it but it's quite low compared to standalone digestive enzymes. I sprinkle some Swanson DGL powder out of the pill since I read it needs to mix with saliva to activate and also take a swanson aloe vera pill before my first two meals of the day too, DGL is like a natural tums and coats the stomach, I get pretty bad cramping and IBS pains if I don't use it. I preferred how the NOW brand DGL with aloe vera already inside of it tasted 1000000x more than the Swanson's bitter taste, but the NOW has been out of stock for most of the year sadly.
hang in there. added a second video with some new ideas and such. Might help based on your above details.
@@iamgreggeorge thank you, I'm going to check out the new video. I need to be more diligent in taking b12. I started taking 2500mcg methyl b12 sublingual lozenges earlier this year, and initially it felt like I had a cup of coffee with how wired up it made me but then I maybe built a tolerance up and noticed it not doing much energy wise so I stopped. The Solaray superdigestaway digestive enzymes have single handedly been the most impactful health thing I've ever had, and have done miracles for my horrible IBS. I think I must naturally have a digestive enzyme deficiency, compounded now by no gallbladder. I also take one ox bile pill with my first meal of the day, I would do more, but, supplement costs start to add up sadly. Luckily the digestive enzymes list bile on their label so I'm getting it from them too.
@@SolidSnake4Ever2003 great news. Glad you are getting things back to the good side!!
@@SolidSnake4Ever2003 you've taken a lot of supplements that might affect your other organ such as liver. Make sure you consult this with your doctor. Coz I'm pretty sure I've done the same the way you did. Got a lot of supplements for my gut, stomach and heart burn. It turn out that my liver is having a hard time taking this supplements all at once. Resulted on having a fatty liver and enlargement of the liver in some occassion. Just be cautious.
Are these items you've mentioned only for post surgery or can they be taken before to see if they will help?
Found my family 😢lol the food picking drives me insane
Greg I saved this vid ty so much you are Da Man👍
Your pain is exactly 100% what I get but my DR ruled out my GB because the HIDA scan showed my GB was at 98% efficiency. None of the meds I'm taking are working.
Thank u I had mine removed years ago and still have some issues when had food
Next Friday I get mine out
HOW ARE YOU DOING NOW??? I STILL CAN'T FIX MINE...HERE IN JAPAN...IT'S HARD TO FIND THOSE STUFF YOU MENTIONED
TY !!! I'm teatering on the Dr. Suggested surgery after 1 attack - I'm guessing, Change of Diet is the Way to Go, but Oh How I Miss a Greasy Cheeseburger or Pepperoni pizza !!!!!! Wish Me Luck & TY Again !!!!!!
Yeah I have had just a few attacks, but the difference with me is that I had moved to low fat way of eating 6 months before having an attack. Right now I can only have 1g of saturated or trans fat per meal or I will have an attack. I am getting mine out.
TY Jess W - it's been 6 months of REALLY Watching what I Eat - Lost about 20 Lbs of weight - Cut out The Beer & Deep Fried Foods - Knock on Wood, No Attacks & Still No Surgery !!!!
@@christhomas9624 also if you feel an attack coming on or are having an attack, take Magnesium. It dilates the ducts and allows the stone to pass. Glad to hear you are doing so well.
@@RabidNav A BIG THANK YOU !!!!!
Hi, base on what you have studied and read about it, what do you think about raw kambucha drinking after the gallbladder removed? probiotic drinks and fermented foods, pickle foods? Thanks for the video and the recommendations, 2nd in my family to have had it removed, seen my daughter suffering and going through though times because her digestive system doesn’t let her enjoy food , she became vegan I think this have helped her a lot.
Great question. I had good success with pickled foods but probiotics were like drinking Drain-o for me (NOT GOOD). I think vegan can potentially help, but also keep an eye on intolerances as well like Gluten and Dairy.
It's November 2020 & I had mine taken out about 3 years ago. Suprisingly!! I truly don't know how it's been that long. Maybe the trauma & apathy has caused me to feel removed from the exact passage of time. I listened to the doctor for a few weeks after the sugery, but then I went back to my "regular" diet, & probably worse because I remember the 6 months after that I ordered a lot of pizza. I was 24 & really dissatisfied with my life, and really didn't like being restricted. I felt like a lot of my personal choice of enjoyment was taken away from me. So I continued to eat poorly, a lot of greasy foods & a lot of dairy. But I tried to go back to eating healthy for a few weeks in 2018, but after that time I've gone back to ignoring it in the Spring/Summer of 2019. Along with having a lot of issues with upset stomach after foods, I've had some bloating & pain. But now, in this month the bloating & pain has gotten way worse. I had one instance in 2018 when I thought I had a bowel obstruction because I had white stool. But now the pain has gotten way worse since I haven't gotten any better in wanting to eat healthier. My stomach feels so swollen & painful on my upper right side near my rib cage. Now I feel like I'm finally being forced to truly eat a plant-based diet. I really like to eat vegetables & fruits, but I struggle so much with being forced to do it. But I am trying to get rid of this pain. I really want to avoid any hospitalizations or doctors at all since I don't have health insurance.
I had my gallbladder removed 1 year ago it helped me alot.But there alot of food i had to eliminate.Even now i still get sick with that fullness in my stomach,nauseous that i have to lay down. It's hard to adjust because there's meals you've eaten before and then you eat again and stomach problems begins that's my issue.
Thanks, this video is very useful
Today is day 3 with out my gallbladder. 🙁 Right now everything is confusing.
Hang in there. If you aren’t feeling well, rest up and drink more than eat.
hey how are u now?
I had mine removed Nov 10, 2020. Still recovering getting better slowly. I also find it necessary to have Ox Bile supplements to help the liver and pancreas that have to work harder without the GB. I also use papaya enzymes which are yummy and helpful.
eat more acidic things
@@mariajosearboledarizo-patr2159 can you give me an example? When I have gone to the restaurant I make it a point to nibble on the lemon they give me, that does help.
@@tranquility9325 yea whatever you can eat that is acidic, you can eat a lemon, get lemonade, eat oranges, things like that, also pineapple helps disintegrate protein
@@mariajosearboledarizo-patr2159 awesome thank you. I had orange juice today also. I will make a note of this, thank you sweetie, I appreciate it!
Which ox bile you use
I had my gallbladder removed last October I'm still healing how long does it take the scar to fully heal???
Sorry to be late here. Mine was healed in a couple weeks, and a few years later I cant even see it.
I know I am late but try to take Magnesium when having or about to have attack. It dialates the ducts and the stone can pass. It worked within 10min for me.
What kind of doctor does this Surgery?
I get chest pains, Lower back pains, should blade pains, Gassy, bloated, even my left side "Pancreas area hurts at time. even pain in my arms.
CT showed my Gallbladder is oversized and swollen, I'm also getting chills, fever, cold sweats, pain. Just crazy.
Going to see my Doctor Today, He is a Urologist, saw him because of pain and also PSA numbers went up, which the gallbladder causes when swollen or causing infection of some kind.
Thanks for sharing 🙋🏻♂️
My doc was a family doc that did the diagnosis. The surgery ended up being a general surgeon. Good luck.
@iamgreggeorge HI i found inspiration from ur video I'm having trouble finding out what to digest I had my gallbladder removed this Monday and trying ur strategie soon. I've been looking at videos but urs is upfront and honest. Did u lose weight and how did u gain it back. Any tip or help can mean a lot. Thanks
Update- End up being Lactose Intolerant, as soon as I stopped milk and cheese symptoms went away and I have not had an episode since.
I first tried stopping greasy foods, when that didn't work I stopped milk and cheese and Bam, all pains ended the very next day.
Going to hospitals, doctors and doing all kind of Scans, MRIs , X-ray, Sonograms, Cat scan, and nothing. Insurance Paid over $50 in bills and unpaid about $5,000 out of pocket to end up diagnosing myself, Doctors can sure miss a lot by not listening to the patient. 🤦🏻♂️
@@ELEVOPR thank you so much for advice I figured the same aspect that doctors don't care about ur health sometimes and medical bills just pile up. I've had my gallbladder removed Monday and recovering ❤️🩹 from the surgery, now I'm having trouble digesting my food because I feel hungry and noticed losing weight. Any tips or advice u have on eating on early stage of gallbladder surgery?? Thanks 🙏
I`m 26 and I have a 6.9mm stone and really frustrated and scared what to do :(
Good video.
Thank you for sharing your experience..five years after removing my gallbladder I am having pain right under my ribs on the upper right side. After ultrasound they told me the bike ducts are wide .. any idea how to treat that
I have occasional pain under my right upper ribs as well. I have not had any ultrasounds though. I’m afraid to say I don’t know how to treat your issue. I’ve never really heard of that diagnosis before. Good luck in finding out the issue and how to feel better
i think that means you produce too much bile, avoid fats, eggs ( the yellow part), acidic food, drink aloooot of water, eat alkaline stuff
Could your issue have always been the hormone (malfunctioning) that triggers from the lower intestine when you eat some fat to release the Bile from the Gallbladder??.🤔
My brother.....I wish I’d have seen this video two weeks ago...I took my gallbladder out and I’ve been miserable ever since
Sorry to hear it man. Sometimes it may be necessary. Just take it easy on the food. Avoid fats. 80% of folks get back to normal in 30 days or so. Hang in there.
I am not seeing the vitamins you spoke of or your website
Good video. Thank you.
I haven’t had a gull bladder for 30 yeas and have JUST started figuring all this out!! I’ve been so miserable for years and didn’t know why!!! Thank You for putting this info out there!!!
And now? What has happened? Did you have it removed?
I went to the hospital on an ambulance so I was not aware of the process or anything concerning gallbladder. But I was ready to be out of pain. So I said TAKE IT OUT NOW and signed the papers of consent. Glad I decided to do the surgery.
Me too! A week ago!
I was the same.
@@monicaparker1299 Apne surgery karvaya??plz telll
My dad had his gallbladder out this past Tuesday. He's been doing great since the surgery, and he was out of the hospital the day he had the surgery. Hope you're doing well after having your gall bladder out.
My life changed dramatically after this surgery, sometimes i feel so desperate. I can't eat salad, meat and many other foods. Thanks for this video!
My gallbladder stopped working as well. You are the first person I know of that had the same problem. I don't miss the horrible pain!
Had mine removed 10 days ago on an emergency basis as it was severely inflamed, enlarged, and in danger of rupturing which can lead to septic shock and a serious adominal infection. I had very little post operative pain. Never needed the Oxycotin they sent me home with. Before surgery, my pain was a 7 or 8. After surgery, don't think it was more than a 4. Key is getting up and doing some walking asap on a regular basis. First 3 nights I slept in a recliner cause it's easier to get out of that. Roughest day was the 2nd day - wasn't a strong pain but more of a deep soreness all over the abdomen which caused discomfort when you move but fine when I was still. Bottom line... pain not that bad and in about 3 days you're on your way to recovery.
Thanks for your information, I'm going into surgery in 10 days. Doctor said besides stones, I have polyps in my gallbladder. Don't have pain, just bitter taste in my mouth. She also said have chronic hepatitis. I had hepatitis A and B at 15 years old, I'm 70 now and my numbers are high.😞 hope surgery will fix that.
I got my gallbladder out in 1996 and not one doctor told me what to eat or what to do if I experience problems. They just told me "you're all good now just try to eat healthy. I can eat most everything except eggs. When I eat eggs, I would get nauseous and immediately vomit. Before and after my surgery I eat eggs all the time but after my last child was born in 1999, I developed problems with certain foods and one of the foods was eggs. I thought I was just allergic to eggs and never really connected the two. We're in 2018 and I give my thanks to you. I know what's going on now. No doctor ever told me why I couldn't eat eggs. I guess they didn't connect the two situations either. So thank you.
Glad this helped. Digestive enzymes will probably help your symptoms and sensitivities.
Eggs are very high in cholesterol so they are hard to digest without the gallbladder pumping a lot of bile at once, so the body just rejects them by vomiting them out.
I had my gallbladder out over fifteen years ago. I so blessed to be able to eat just about anything keto. My fibro has improved a lot. IBS also.
What did you do to get back to normal?
I’m typing this from my hospital room....I have been in pain for 4 days...one unproductive emergency stay....but on this second visit, on the fourth day, my gallstone studded gallbladder was made culprit for all this pain...Having it removed in the morning.....Hoping I don’t get your side affects, but thank you for sharing your plight. Nice to have a back up.....and also post op pain...they don’t tell you about that......
thank you so much for the advice I've had my gallbladder out 1 year now and I've been dealing with this nausea feeling after I eat and I couldn't put my finger on what's going on neither could my Dr she kept describing me meds and I knew it was something much more because the meds wasn't helping I thank God for you helping and putting your story out there for people like me thank you so much and God bless!!!
Glad it helped. Get better!
Thank you so much for sharing. After experiencing 8 acute pancreatic episodes over 7 months, with the last two occurring back to back, the ultrasound finally detected gall stones. Before that it was just sludge. Although I had changed my diet the episodes didn’t stop. I wish I would have seen your video before the surgery and used those products. But I can use them now. Your story gives me hope for how to live without a gall bladder. I also recommend the book: Living Well Without A Gall Bladder by Brooke Keefer.
May you continue to live in good health. God bless you!
Alma D. Van Nice, Ed.D Thanks Alma. You as well. God Bless.
I had my gall bladder removal 3 years ago. I was sick everyday. It was never a good day. I was starving and dehydrate and almost died. I'm thinking about making a video about my experience
Do it. Maybe it will help someone else.
Please make a video, how did you get better?
@@leylaas2969 I did its on my channel
Unique Tiffy
I think you should too.
Thank you sir for sharing this info with us. I am almost 28 days post op and am in the same boat- I am trying to take this opportunity to really do the best for my health and body so hearing your experience is golden and very appreciated (especially since as a young man i don’t find too many male testimonials) thank you
@Greg George, thank you for making this video! I am probably having my gallbladder removed soon. My story is 4 years in the making. I tore my bicep and had surgery to reattach it which went very well but I had months of recovery and therapy! Then my now ex-wife left me with my kids; I was a stay at home dad so the next thing I know is I'm homeless. So you can see that the stress factor is rising fast! So I got my arm healed up and my surgeon cleared me to go to work and I found work soon after. So I'm starting to get accustomed to life after separation and then one day I wake up in the middle of the night with heart attack like symptoms. My chest right below my sternum is in tremendous pain, like 8 out of 10! My heart is racing, I'm sweating, all of that. I went to the ER and they hooked me up to an EKG and took blood. The ER doctor then told me my heart was fine and I wasn't having a heart attack. Whew!!!! This has happened numerous times in the past few years, 5 times sending me to the ER. I had to go to the ER last Thursday, the 5th time, and the ER doctor did the same EKG and blood work, only this time he had the wherewithal to have an ultrasound done which concluded that I had a medium size gallstone. He told me that this could be the cause of the chest pain and heart attack like symptoms and recommended that I have my gallbladder removed. I'm going to my primary caregiver at the VA tomorrow with the ultrasound CD and discuss my options. The dread of having another episode causes anxiety and panic sometimes. I kept having anxiety attacks in the early morning chronically and couldn't figure out why! I think this is all linked together and if taking my gallbladder out is the answer then I'm all for it. That is where your video comes in. Thank you!
Hope they get you figured out. If you are using a lot of caffiene, I would recommend pulling back, as that was a big one for me in terms of anziety, and GI distress.
What did the ultrasound say? Are you going to get surgery?
Leila. I had surgery almost 3 weeks ago. I’m slowly getting back to wok as I’ve had many days of anxiety. Trying to figure that out.
Had my gallbladder removed a month ago. I’m fortunate that I’m recovering fine. Very few foods upset my stomach and when it does get upset it’s not terrible. I don’t have any of these crazy side effects. I can eat just about anything except super dense fatty foods of course. I do have low energy though so I’ll have to check out multi vitamins.
Glad to hear it isnt too bad. For the energy, I would also try a digestive enzyme, as it can help you absorb more nutrients since your GB isnt giving you as much of those needed chemicals.
Thanks for all the helpful tips from everyone. Had quite extreme Jaundice so had my gall balder out last week, ironically still have the itching and nausea which lead me to see the doctor in the first place. Was rushed back into hospital yesterday and they said all the poison may not have left my system. If any of you have itching living in hope it all goes for you...surprisingly challenging to deal with
Has your itching and jaundice gone away yet? Ive had both for a month, getting my gallbladder taken out tomorrow. Itching is the worst.
Thank you for your help! You are
better than a doctor. I saw a few
doctors and.None. help.
I had no idea what was going on, emergency surgery for me, it's been 3 days now, seriously feeling that sensitivity, the love of my life just suggested pizza for dinner and I got grossed out, but pizza is our jam!
Thank you so much this has helped me. I had my gallbladder removed 15 years ago and still dealing with issues
Wow, really?? What issues are you dealing with?
Thanks so much for taking the time to put this information out there ....my Dad (86) had his gall bladder removed more than 5 years ago and has been suffering with the majority of the symptoms you describe ever since! The doctors prescribed antibiotics for him last week (!) because they don't know what to do. I can see that this might make things worse, but I have spoken to my local health food store and will collect the things you recommend later today.
You ay check into Gastroparesis. Damaged vagus nerve while having the surgery makes the stomach move slow - thus causing all the symptoms. Antibiotics sound like more trouble vs better living. :-(
I'm glad I ran into this video.. I just had mine removed the 6th of this month.. I don't understand the whole thing but it seems to be worse then diabetics meals. I had to change my doctor after Sergey because this all could of been prevented if my doc. Did his job right..instead of telling me awe it'll be ok it's just gas.. there's a few other issues I've had with him about other things I've suffered threw.. so now thanks god for helping me find a doctor who is now letting know all that's going on inside of me that could of been prevented years ago. Now I'm scared, I found out after my surgery I'm type 2 diabetes.. Lord knows what else. But thank you for speaking on this subject I will be looking forward to more. I feel doomed now for staying with the wrong doctor. I will bring these things to my new doctor that you've talked about n see what he says.. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Hang in there. The eating and symptoms whould get better with time. Thanks for watching. I am making another video this week with a new recommendation that has been really helping me!!
Hi Rudy. For your diabetes, you may want to check out Dr. Jason Fung. He is a Canadian nephrologist specialised on treating diabetes through diet and controlled fasting. He has a lot of free stuff on the Internet and also some books.
