Removed Gall Bladder Due To Issues With Liver. Father Also Has High Iron Levels, Dementia. Hereditary? Problem?

I recently had my gall bladder out by Dr Slater and there were some issues with my liver (fatty) and also very high iron levels. My gall bladder was very bad she said but I have had no problems since and blood tests done at the time of the outpatient visit showed that the iron levels are down to normal.
As my father also has high iron levels and blood tests were done which show that he and I are both haemotomachrosis carriers. My father has quite advanced dementia and it has been recommended to me to start taking Curcumin2K (with Bio Perine Black Pepper Extract)
The warning on the bottle however is If you have any history of liver, gall bladder or gastrointestinal problems, consult a health care physician prior to taking the medication.
Can you advise me please....Thank you

Hi
Liver problems are different from gall bladder.
Eventhough gall bladder is removed,it does not have any effect.
Liver problems are best diagnosed with liver function tests(LFT).Get them done and rule out any disease.
If you do not have vomiting,constipation or loose motions,then major gastro intestinal problems are ruled out.
So,consult your doctor,get LFT and proceed with the drug.
Wish you good health
Regards
