Hello,
What would you generally recommend to people without a gallbladder? I understand that a low-fat diet for life is probably necessary. But are there any supplements and herbs that would be specifically beneficial after gallbladder removal? For example, something to take after meals to support fat metabolism, etc.? Because if an organ is missing, it can affect another, correct?
Thank you in advance for your response.
If an organ is missing, there is always a deviation from metabolic balance, which is certainly true in the absence of a gallbladder. The best possible course of action in this situation is to follow a range of simple rules:
- maintain a stable number of meals per day (3-4),
- lower fat intake,
- avoid spicy foods.
This is an indispensable foundation, and dietary supplements do not have significant importance in this situation.
