Sorry for your loss Be kind to yourself today, do something different maybe to distract your mind and remember that you are loved.

No not really I just had been reading about it and because my liver function is elevated probably too much fat and alcohol. No drinking is easy nearly 3 weeks now without , but I got complacent about what I was eating and sluggish gut.

Thank you for your replies. Chris24main I think you are right about sugar driving my eating behaviours. I’ve read that having no gallbladder I should have bile salts or something. Just need to get control of my eating as don’t really want to have T2 meds.

Hi everyone It has been quite sometime since I have been on here ☹️ I am in need of help/advice kick up the backside! So I had a small reverse window back in 2023 got hba1c to 40. I had lost a couple of stone and felt really quite good. My gallbladder had been removed in the march before much...
