Hello,
You may experience symptoms similar to those caused by gallstones after surgery, including tummy pain,
indigestion,
diarrhoea.
I suggest you :
add foods back into your diet gradually, go for low-fat and smaller portions, I advise my patients to avoid fried foods, high-fat foods, foods with strong odours and gas-causing foods, skip high-fat foods to help avoid discomfort.
Eating the wrong things after
gallbladder surgery can induce pain,
bloating and diarrhoea. To side-step, this gastrointestinal discomfort, avoid eating high-fat or spicy foods.
As you reintroduce yourself to high-fibre foods, consider adding these gas-producing foods back into your diet slowly and small amounts.
Re-introducing things too quickly can lead to diarrhoea, cramping and bloating.
You can keep track of when you begin eating a food again and what the impact is.
Doing so will help you know what you can and cannot eat. As time goes on, take note of your tolerance for higher fibre foods and fats, especially healthy fats.
If symptoms persist or get worse than you may contact your
primary care physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Suzana Zharri, General & Family Physician
