In this video, Dr. Berg talks about what to eat after you had your gallbladder removed.
Just because you had the gallbladder out and now you could be able to eat certain foods that you didn’t eat before, and that they’re unhealthy, you don’t want to continue to do that simply because the gallbladder problem was just a symptom of a bigger problem.
If you don’t have a gallbladder, you have certain weaknesses that you’re going to have to compensate for.
Things that could cause Gallbladder Problems:
1. Estrogen - from birth control pills, pregnancy, hormone replacement therapy
2. High levels of insulin - highly refined carbohydrate diet, junk food, and sugar
3. Side effects of medication
When the gallbladder is removed, they remove the storage pouch for bile which could cause a deficiency with bile. And when you don’t have a gallbladder, it also doesn’t have the ability to concentrate the bile. Bile helps dissolve the fat to help extract certain nutrients from the fat.
Low Bile Symptoms:
• Vitamin A deficiency (Eyes, Sinuses, Immune System)
• Vitamin D deficiency (Bone)
• Vitamin E deficiency (Heart, Hair)
• Vitamin K deficiency
• Low Omega-3 fatty acids
Side Effects of Gallbladder Removal
• Gastritis
• Acid Reflux
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal Pain
• Gas
• Fat Malabsorption
• Constipated
• Stones in Liver
What to Eat?
1. Moderate Fat
2. Moderate Protein
3. Low Carb
4. High Vegetables
5. Apple Cider Vinegar
6. Fermented Vegetables / Probiotic
7. Don’t Stuff Yourself

Thank you for sharing this. I had my gallbladder removed 30 years ago this month, nothing was EVER said to me about this , now my liver is starting to have problems. Patients should be told this and given written information at the time of surgery.

[@redlisab]

It is a deliberate move on the part of doctors that they don't provide the info. They want you to choose the surgery for their profit. Even though informed consent is the law, it is rarely provided in actual practice.

How are you doing now?

[@llstjernstrom4838]

After watching a ton of videos and researching online and from my doctor’s single post-op handout, here’s basically what I did/do after my cholecystectomy: Drink lots of water! Smaller portions so I don’t overeat & stress my system. No sugar, alcohol, caffeine, fried food, dairy (except plain low fat yogurt & kefir), & minimal gluten. Lots of veggies of all sorts (raw and cooked), fruits, nuts and lean proteins. You can have treats like applesauce, almonds with honey, certain nut bars without added sugar, vegan cream cheese on a sprouted grain muffin, kanten, a few unsweetened 100% cacao choc chips (eat with dates and nuts), fruit crisps made with oats. Use alternative flours & only coconut or olive oils to cook & bake with. Use honey & maple syrup to sweeten anything. Add some gentle movement every day stand, sit or lie down and do it. I lost 32 lbs in 6 mos. after changing my entire diet around so I hopefully don’t get any more stones and keep everything healthy. Still working on it & learning but of course it won’t ever be the ideal situation. When I have struggled (like in a social setting) I just remind myself that it’s a blessing not a punishment to “have to” eat healthier! Hope this helps someone. ❤️🙏

[@lygophilia4127]

Same, but for me it's been over 6 years. I got zero information aside from the fact that they decided to remove it as a solution to gallstones causing pain, and there was a 5% chance they couldn't do it laparoscopically--and I was in that 5% and have a heinous hypertrophic scar as a result. Oh, one thing he did say was not to eat fatty foods for 6 weeks. It turns out to be lifelong I can't eat fatty foods. I spent years trying to figure out what was causing my bathroom issues after eating. IBS? IBD? Celiac? Lactose intolerance? etc etc. Went to multiple doctors with no response, and it was as simple as a surgery side effect. >.

[@Roobah]

Just don't get acid reflux and stomach issues confused with food digestion the gall bladder performed. Two completely different systems. Acid reflux is usually caused by a stomach not acidic enough to keep the hiatal valve closed when eating a meal. Consuming acidic foods before a meal can help this. Taking bile salts and digestive enzymes some time after eating will help digest food at the head of the small intestine and through the intestinal tract in place of having no gallbladder. Super acidifyi😊ng your foods in your stomach first should help everything through.

I am 60 now, but when I was 37, I had an emergency gallbladder removal, (BIG pain!) and it was not something that I wanted, but I had to have done. At any rate, I was not well for about 6 months afterwards, and I had to go to the bathroom after anything even slightly greasy. I was put on cholestyramine, a powder that supposed to help you digest your food, but who knows what that did, all I know is that I was told "Oh, you can eat anything!" No directions, no discussions of HOW I was supposed to digest things, etc. I was just let go and tried to figure it out by myself. It wasn't until listening to earlier Dr. Berg videos here on youtube, that I discovered Ox Bile salts, and continue to use them after regular meals, so I am digesting my fat (vitamins). I am convinced that there should have been discussion of this by the doctors, but I don't know if they figured it out. No wonder some of us go into our Senior years with the makings of brittle bones, etc. We weren't digesting (or able to) our fat vitamins! I was SO ANGRY about this! This has to change for people that undergo gallbladder removal. Maybe because they don't look at it like a heart, lung or kidney transplant, that it's not "as important". It's important enough if it's the rest of your life! Especially if you get it done earlier in life, in your teens, 20's, or 30's, even your 40's! I feel that you need to eat fresh foods, but that are gentle on your system. Steam if you have to, to digest them. I wouldn't (and can't) eat anything spicy, or I get to go to visit the WC! If you can leave the gallbladder in, then do it, you can't get it back once it's removed. I just wish I had left it in, but it was totally blocked, and I was very sick. The doctors said I was about 2 days from passing on...so that is scary.

[@janeirvine8391]

Where do you find Ox Bile salts? Are they expensive? I went through what you did and understand the anger at the brushoff of the doctors who couldn't admit they knew nothing about the aftermath of emergency gall bladder surgery.

Patricia Niedrich I had my gallbladder removed six years ago. I was 38 years old and I still have bathroom problems. I also take Questran (Cholestyramine) too. It helps, but it’s nothing like having a healthy gallbladder. I was pregnant with my second child in 07-08 and I was sick the entire pregnancy. Drs wanted to remove my gallbladder then, but it was too risky to use anesthesia during the middle of my second trimester. I’m assuming hormones for 10 years (birth control pills) probably contributed to my gallbladder problems. This video was very informative.

When I had my gallbladder removed I didn't even know what it did, i just knew I was sick. Everytime I ate anything with even small amounts of fat i became extremely sick so i listened to the surgeon and had it removed.

[@Northwindbreeze]

Dr Berg, could you please do a more specific video about the heart health? How it is kept healthy in the middle of the weight loss, keto diet etc? Thanks!

[@12steps2beauty]

Thank you for clarifying this vital information. In 1976 I had my gallbladder removed and the recovery was long, painful and difficult. I have battled with my weight and digestion for years. I’m now nearly 72years old with multiple Large Incisional Hernias. Big painful clumps of intestines broken through my stomach. My upper and lower body movements are restricted and Major hernia surgery is on hold due to my overweight. It is very difficult to reduce it. I am unable to stand or walk due to horrendous pain in legs coming from OsteoArthritis in extremely swollen tender knees. My body is racked with nerve pain and together with your list of side affects, I am diagnosed with Fibromyalgia! I am Vegan diet Natural, Unprocessed/or at least Minimal and have been for many years. I know my chef gives me low fat in meals which I am now, (due to your video here), eating more moderate good fats. I have everything on the side effects list which I Now feel not guilty about. All my life Never touched Alcohol, I was a happy 100% Tea Total, until a few years After Gallbladder Removal, at 29 years old I tasted alcohol for the first time and I Very quickly became an Alcoholic drinking for 15 years Until, a Higher Self Experience brought about 100% abstinence in 1995, your video has helped me reconcile the situation and I shall look for more on this subject. Thank you. Susie Donaldson

So glad I found you Doc. I have suffered for years and did not know it was because I have no gall bladder. Thanks for the info. 🤗👍🏼🦋

[@reginapeterson9701]

About 25 years ago I had my gallbladder out and ever since I have had gas, bloating, constipation, and low thyroid symptoms. My thyroid tests always show normal. I will try the purified bile and see if that helps me. I have been so miserable with not being able to eat any vegetables from the cabbage family or onions. If I do, I really pay for it. Also can't eat legumes. Thank you so much Dr Berg for sharing this information. I pray the bile works for me. Blessings to you!!

[@greenize1959]

I had my gallbladder removed 24 years, and the doctor told me I’d “have the outpatient surgery on Friday, and be back to eating whatever I want by Monday”. Not, did he set me up! I’ve had all of the symptoms Dr Berg lists for all of these years.😡 I’m thankful to finally have answers so I can take proper steps to feel better!

doctors wanted to remove my gallbladder in april 2017. i politely told them no (i held off saying how i really felt out of professional courtesy, i’m a psych tech). i have awakened my love of bitter veges, acv and lemons. no GB pain. i also use reflexology. tyvm for the reasonable way you explain things. keep up the good work!

when I was in hospital before gallbladder removal surgery I asked the doctor if I needed to use oxbile after. She asked what is oxbile? They really don't know about this it seems. The only advice they gave me after was to eat low fat which I ignored since I'm eating a carnivore diet. 🤣 1 year post surgery, so far so good.

[@sandydiaz1109]

I had my gallbladder removed twenty years ago. I found out quickly afterward that gluten caused a gas problem that would cause a lot of pain in my upper stomach. I have found that I cannot digest some raw vegetables or gummy things. Sometimes they will come back up and sometimes I will be in tears in pain for hours after a meal. I have also found that cutting sugar helps the digestion issues a lot. I take a papaya supplement to help my digestion and I become deficient in vitamins very easily specially vitamin D. I would like to try bile salts. Hopefully they would not make me sick. Iv adjusted to living this way. Sometimes it gets worse and then I know I have to get back to what I know works better for me. Unfortunately I had so many stones the my gallbladder was falling apart inside of me so there was no way to keep it.

[@imanf6153]

Did you try the bile salt?

[@christinacy.1405]

Dr Berg, you are such a blessing! This is exactly what ive been looking for. Easy to understand yet packed. I recently had the removal and i've been struggling to understand what's happening to my body after. The nurses and my doctor didnt explain it well to me when i asked. So i read articles and watch videos. So happy i found yours. Now i understand better on how to adjust my diet being gallbladder-less. Lol. THANKYOU DR BERG

Hey Christina, had my GB removed 2 weeks ago. What has worked and not worked diet wise?

[@christinacy.1405]

@@tonyr.4778 hi tony! Well i had soft diet for a week after the surgery. Eg porridge. No appetite yet. I started taking normal food in the second week, but in very little portion bc i felt bloated and discomfort at the surgery site when i had normal portion (im a big foodie). Guess the wound was still fresh, i was still weak myself. I felt more energized came the 3rd week. So yeah, i got my appetite back. I avoided really fatty food for 3 months after the surgery. No more gallbladder so no more tremendously concentrated bile. Indulge mostly in healthier options like boiled/blanched veges, steamed food, soups. Lol. As long as it didnt involved frying. No junk food. And cream cheese was bad for me that time. My body cant seem to digest it well already. Anyway, all is well now. It’s been 6 months. I do watch my fat intake. Cook with only olive oil since the surgery bc the other types of oil cause discomfort. But this is my experience tho. I hope it’s better with u. Get well soon!

[@aidahayes7896]

Thank you Dr. Berg. No one ever told what caused my gall stones in the first place nor did they bother to tell me what is best to eat after they removed my gallbladder. They just said that other organs in my body will just work harder to make up for what the gallbladder was doing.

Dont blame your doctor, the info is available on medical websites, free and if you know you dont eat healthy to start with, that's on you, not your doctor.

I have removed my gallbladder 15 years ago and now got pancreas problem. My pancreas doesn't want to digest food at all. I was taking enzymes with each meal. Vegetables should be cooked and only 30g of oil can be added. Honestly, not fun. Doctor told me after surgery that I can eat anything I want. So, please don't do this. Now I know what I can take for digestion of fats, Bile salts. Thank you

Thank you very much - have been waiting for this particular talking point... as a person who has lived without a gall bladder since 1984 and have been blindly following the great American diet and so have had serious medical repercussions from this toxic lifestyle… since following the OMAD and Keto diet since 30 may 2018, have lost 40 lbs and many annoying symptoms have gone into remission - hopefully other acquired medical conditions will eventually go into remission… I have recently added bile salts to my supplemental regimen and trust this will help in my uptake of essential nutrients and continue to positively affect my quality of life and longevity… continue sir, go forth and do good things…!!!

I've had problems with pain and digestion over the years, pain so bad I went to the ER because I thought I was dying. I asked my new doctor about post cholecystectomy syndrome, and he said I can't have that, because my surgery was so long ago. 😡

[@dad4ever-c90]

Naturally, surgeons recommend surgery. But the gall bladder is an important sack. It stores and concentrates bile. Imagine you didn't have a bank account. You couldn't save up money for when you need it. You lose it as fast as it is earned. This is similar. Change your diet now and possibly avoid surgery. You'd have to make those changes after surgery anyway. Plus you'd risk post-op complications.

Thank you so much for this clear explanation. I am seeing in the comments so many people with the same issue. I was pressing all my doctors for information on what to do without a gall bladder and none of them could give any info. They all said it's totally fine to live without a gall bladder and everything will work the same. I ended up with cholestasis of pregnancy that went undiagnosed until I pushed and pushed and pushed for the blood test. I had told them every appointment that I have no gall bladder and that holds the bile so maybe I have cholestasis. They waved it off and kept trying itch cream, lotion, ointments, while I suffered and kept going to appointments while I was in the final uncomfortable leg of twin pregnancy. They finally ran the test and gave me the appropriate medicine less than 2 weeks before my babies were due. Needless to say, I never got to rest before the babies came.

[@sueorozco2079]

Thank you Dr Berg, after 4 years of having my gallbladder removed because of liver and kidney transplants. I am just now learning why I'm having all these weird symptoms in my digestive system. None of my doctors have ever explained any of this to me and that really upsets me because I feel that I could have started taking better care of myself as soon as I learned all this information. But I guess it's never too late. But my question to you is all these instructions that you have given; do they apply to someone like me with a liver and kidney transplant?

[@xminusone1]

You had a double transplant and they didn't told you about this???? You're supposed to have a diet and yes, I had a liver transplant myself and I have blood checks every 6 weeks and many rendez-vous following my operation. I doubt they don't do blood tests regularly. I don't know where you are but I doubt they didn't do it. You aren't supposed to overeating, taking high carb or sugar food. Any type of pro-biotics whatsoever. It's a big NO NO. Not saying I don't believe you but I'm doubtful to say the least.

Good information. I had my gallbladder out in March and have basically modified my diet to moderate fat and carbs. For example, chicken and turkey lunch meat has replaced pork, ground bison has replaced ground beef, and I found a 1gr fat turkey hotdog that tastes great. I had some constipation but I now eat 2 prunes and 2 dates every evening with 10oz water that has 1000iu liquid D in it. I already drink at least 70 oz water a day (more during summer). Problem solved. I make cucumber salads with apple cider vinegar and olive oil, along with basil, sage, garlic, paprika and a little black pepper, every other day. I don't want to eat like a hermit, but some small changes add up and I am continuing to lose weight, using the 10 lbs I lost in the first two weeks after I had pancreatitis in February as a kick start. I think I feel better than before I got sick (which was really all of the sudden, no prior symptoms unless energy starved and a bit listless is a symptom). I'm just listening to my body as I go...

[@JassiJo]

I had my gallbladder out in my 40's. Had undiagnosed issues since my 20's. I didnt know how sick I felt all the time until it was removed. In my 60's now and still trying to sort out why I had 13 stones in my gallbladder purse. lol. 1 tbsp with water of ACV a day before my meal, gives me sores on my skin. Can't figure that one out, at all. I have always had acidic issues. Still do. Digestive enzymes with a meal, assists the bloating. I have been Keto for almost 4 yrs now and that was definately an improvement in digestion issues. Just from research did I find myself eating all anti-inflammatory foods and spices to reduce my cortisol originally from Chronic PTSD. Keto was an easy switch. I am a ...work in progress, still.
