[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 1968967, member: 480869"] I lost my gallbladder just over a year ago after years of biliary colic attacks severe enough to blue light me to hospital but apparently difficult to diagnose as it went on for 4 years without diagnosis despite being classic in presentation as far as I can tell now, in fact I’m the one who asked if this was it. Until then they blamed reflux / GERD that I don’t have. Anyhow for a few months after the op I had digestive issues and diarrhoea if I ate too much fat in one go and sometimes regardless of what I did. Just as it was settling down (6moths post op) I was diagnosed diabetic. In my denial of diagnosis I managed to convince myself it was related to the op. It probably wasn’t other than it was the latest in a long line of physical and emotional stresses which definitely didn’t help. Possibly the diet that didn’t help diabetes also didn’t help the gallbladder. Low fat eating (high carb) allows the bile to be demanded little and therefore sit sluggishly forming stones in the gallbladder. Eating high fat with stones can often provoke attacks as it demands bile and causes contractions. This is why people think high fat cause gallbladder problems. It does aggravate existing stones but actually it is the low fat that causes it. I went keto from day one as I got a raging migraine and didn’t eat for 2 days so figured I’d keep going in the new way of eating. I did struggle a little with the fat initially restarting the diarrhoea issues. However I eased it back and took the addition of fats to the diet more steadily. I slowly was able to increase it and can now eat as many as I wish so long as I don’t go absolutely stupid about it. Lack of gallbladder doesn’t stop you digesting fat per se. You no longer have a storage and concentration sac for bile. Instead it drips feeds, hence slow and spread out is better. However as you gradually increase fats your body recognises this and steps up the production of the bile. Also in many people the remaining ducts enlarge somewhat forming a pseudo bladder helping the issue along too. [/QUOTE]
