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

I had my gall bladder removed over 20 years ago and was never told problems I would have. Thank you Dr Berg!!
same here.
Me too, why the drs don’t tell you about all this, this is not good 😳 thank you Dr. Berg, geewiz!
Apparently it may be the cause of my candida, which has to do with the white coating on your tongue basically.
@@musabs5848 I have candida breakouts all over my body, even my arms! I have a topical cream I have to put on it. I was only 32 when I had my gallbladder removed and so many health issues since then that no doctor would ever help me with, just sent on to one specialist after another and they never put their heads together to see the big picture of what was happening to me!
When I had a severe traumatic life event at 35 my health fully tanked and instead of trying to actually figure out why I went from 130 pounds at 5'9" to 400 pounds when I'd never had a weight issue in mylife, I was simply fat shamed and told to stop eating fast food and junk food (which I DID NOT eat)
Far too many doctors think they're Gods and once they graduate, rest on their laurels and never try any harder to help.
I'm so disgusted with the entire health community as a whole.
I got surgery 5 days ago for gallstone too can you share me your experience please
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.
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.
I had my gallbladder removed 3 months ago and all I was told was to not eat fats right away after surgery. Now I'm gaining weight because I was told I could go back k to eat what I normally eat but now I'm having emotional problems of this gaining so thank you doc for showing me the effects I can have if I don't stop what in doing wrong .
@@rhondaramirez9790how you noticed first you have gained weight
Same for me…
@@rhondaramirez9790i
Just found Dr. Berg. I'm 70 and had my gallbladder out about 3 weeks ago with no issues so far. I was never told anything about after care. I will follow Dr. bergs great advice and hopefully lead a healthier life. Looking forward to watching more of his very informative videos.
My issues didn't show up for 15 years after removal!
@@j.raymond1297 mines only gotten worse over time .. didn't help that surgeon screwed up and destroyed my hepatic/biliary duct. Needless to say even Drs at Duke and VCU are NOT all they're built up to be.
My problems turned up about 3 years afterwards.
i had no issues but eventually developed all these in time
i gained a lot if weight plus more so from
prednisone from all not working right i had severe allergic like symptoms flare ups
funny thing is i had no pain at all i just was walking and could not as if an invisible shield stopped me i had to walk very very slow when i got to er i was rushed to surgery had a huge stone according to doc size of orange
How are you doing now?
I just had my gallbladder removed 2 months ago, April 2021, and this video taught me so much more than anything I was told at the hospital.
This gives me hope, mine sadly has to come out next week :(
Removed mine 19 years ago and none of this knowledge was imparted to me. This video has given me hope.
@@frozengreen5597 how did it go for u?
I had a gallbladder attack in 2006. I had emergency surgery. I was in so much pain. Thank God that I survived. Your video is so helpful, Dr. Berg. Everything makes sense. Im constipated a lot. Had no idea.
Thank you for this information ❤❤❤❤❤
You are a gem!!
Thank u Dr.Berg, now l understand what is happening to me after 3 years from removing my bladder...why doctors in general don't explaine that for their patients...Thank u again.
Lina Mustafa they don’t explain it cause unfortunately time is 💰 money, who cares , they need to get as many patients as they could for their businesses , glad you’ve got answers for your concerns & inshallah a speedy recovery!
I really think explanation is also something they owe you.
Same! My gallbladder surgeon and primary care physician gave none of this information to me 😞
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. >.
mine was removed last Dec. 2018. I ask my surgeon if there's anything i need to take to aid my liver since I don't have my GB anymore. He just said to just have a balance meal. not really sure what he means by that.
I had my gallbladder removed at age 17, that was 40 years ago! Since then I had to have stones removed from the remaining duct twice but still no one gave me any info that would explain my years of abdominal problems and sometimes excruciating pain.
My research into the Keto diet led me here and other sites where I finally got the info I so desperately needed!
Thank you, Dr Berg! You can not imagine what this means to me, having found an explanation for my problems. Especially since some of the docs I’ve seen over the years told me it was psychosomatic (aka in my head) or stress related. It seems that doctors don’t want to fix, or even look for, any underlying causes, just write a prescription and send you on your way.
It is a sad testimony to the medical profession when patients can no longer rely on their doctors to treat their conditions accurately...
I agree!
What were your symptoms of have stones in your duct after removal
I can relate to this. I also had my gallbladder taken out about 10 yrs ago now and my digestive system has never been the same. I have only been told not to eat fried food. I will have to change my eating habits if I don't want to feel that constant pressure under my rib cage and the bloating after I eat. Thanks doc.
My surgeon said, "clear liquids for one day, low fat diet for two weeks, and a healthy diet for the rest of your life". I told him his explanation was vague. It still remained vague.
I had my gallbladder removed about18 yrs ago because it was full of stones that caused severe pain. I’ve suffered diarrhea more often than not ever since then . I’m glad the bladder is gone as well as the pain that was severe. I eat what ever I want .
Literally every doctor needs to show this to their patients or relay this information. I had my cholecystectomy 2 years ago and some of this is news to me! Drs are so quick to just remove this organ without telling you what caused you to get there and what to expect in the future! Thankfully someone has! 💚
I had mine removed and the doctor didn't tell me a thing. Just told me I needed to have Gallbladder removed and that was it. Literally.
@@a.humphries8678 ugh, same here. It should be required to give patients a minimum amount of information regarding the process and aftercare of removing an organ that is very important to normal digestion. Crazy to me they don’t and that it’s just “ok” for that type of protocol not to exist.
My PC told me years ago I needed to change my diet to avoid forming stones. I'd bet most drs have told their patients but it was ignored. Dont blame the surgeons, pay attention to your own doctors.
Aftercare was not discussed with me other than a printed info sheet with suggested foods to eat as well as avoid.
@@vickipeck2323 just because that was your experience does NOT mean everyone else had the same. Please do be so quick to assume other’s previous knowledge and care because you know no story but your own.
@@vickipeck2323Allo! You are lucky, l ask all the questions, and got told ; it does make no difference EAT AS USUAL, BY BOTH DOCTORS, AND SURGEON. DONT PONTIFICATE....... the dont blame the docteur bit to me !
I had my gallbladder removed many years ago. Now I know why I had so much reflux and heartburn and indigestion and irregular bathroom habits. For 2 weeks now I've been eating every day a few fermented cucumber dill pickle spears that I made. And I drink kombucha every day. And I take a digestive enzyme capsule with my big meal of the day. It has made a big difference in how I feel.
Thanks for sharing! I should add some fermented foods into my diet.
I now understand so much better what's causing my GI discomfort. My gallbladder was removed years ago and it has been difficult losing weight. With a few changes, I can look forward to a much healthier gut. THANK YOU.
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.
@@Roobah Unfortunately I had both issues at the same time. I've been feeling very well for many years now.
Wow what digestive enzyme?@@Roobah
I am so glad I came across this video.I had my gall bladder removed 2 weeks ago.I now have an understanding of what to expect during my healing process and the future. Thank goodness for you and your knowledge.I am a new subscriber! Thank you!!!
I had a liver transplant and they removed it. They didn't told me about for the first year because I asked a question to my doctor. She just laughed and told me I didn't even have one so I asked if they had a good price for. I know her very well because she is a former classmate of my girlfriend who is also a doctor.
What are you feeling now I mean is it better now? What food are you having can to tell a little about your pre and post surgery my mom will go under surgery after a week
I do not have a gall bladder. I wsa never told what the side effects would have been. I was never informed of anything. Wow, we should be informed!
My gallbladder has been gone for over 50 years and I’ve had stomach issues all of that time. The main thing that’s helped me is digestive enzymes every time I eat...ox bile and another enzyme with other digestive ingredients, mostly ending with ASE...I’m now 80 and have to be very careful about where I am after I eat...no doctor ever told me what or what not to eat or to take digestive enzymes...I had to find that out on my own...thanks for your videos, they’ll help a lot of people with digestive issues...
What digestive enzyme product do you use please? Thanks
Had mine removed 1983 more problems now they never told me any of that thank you for telling us.
That information was so helpful, especially since I have had my gallbladder removed. I really tried hard to save the gallbladder with the appropriate cleanse. several times. Dr Berg you are a real pleasure to watch and so easy to understand. Thank you so much for making this video. I have just discovered your videos. I was looking into intermittent fasting and ketones.
My MIL just had 1/2 of her liver removed due to cancer, but they also removed her gall bladder. The doctors didn’t give her any nutritional advice at all!! Thank goodness I’ve been following your channel & new you’d have the info we needed to keep her well! She’s only 10 days post-op & is having daily diarrhea. Since she’s barely eating, now I have a better idea why! Thank you Dr Berg!!
The diarrhea is normal. Happened to me as well. Mine has been out for 19 years now and I don't get the diarrhea much anymore. Depends on what I eat really. It did suck though!
@nancpanc1 hi I'm nervous I have my gallbladder removed on Monday what would u recommend to eat or not to have to much diarrhea? Please help 🙏
Scrolling through the comment section and see so many grateful people you have helped. Dr. Berg you are the saviour!
Your videos and the way you explained everything made perfect sense to me and I was finally able to understand what's really going on after the gallbladder removal.
Thank you for this! I’m 3 years after GB removal and having abdominal pain problems. This was the best explanation this far of how to eat properly I’ve heard.
Love this Doctor's teaching. No long stories , straight to the point of what you should know and do.
I love that about him to.
Dr berg gallbladder
Thank you Dr Berg. I have suffered for years after my gallbladder was removed . Your information is very useful.
My dad just had his gallbladder removed due to stones; so this is really helpful for me and family to understand and help direct him in the right nutritional guidelines!
His doctor was not very helpful in terms of what to and not eat. Thank you! Love your videos!
Had my gallbladder removed last year after 3 painful attacks. Surgeon said I had no choice as it was severely infected with many stones. I now have abdominal pain and bouts of diarrhea. The supplements that help me are Ox Bile (at heavy meals), Swedish Bitters daily or to relieve indigestion, StoneFree (supplement to dissolve stones), Dandelion Root and Milk Thistle.
This is what I needed 22 years ago. But better late than never. Thank you Doctor Berg.
Boy and how!!!!! Me also!!
Me, three. So grateful for Dr Berg’s help.
I'm so glad I came across your channel. I have my gallbladder removed years back and no one told me (not even my doctor, SMH) what to (not) eat. I did continue to eat junk and stuffed myself to the point that I gained weight.
When I went to my doctor and complained about my stool being hard despite eating fruits/veggies + yogurt, they never mentioned it has something to do with my gallbladder being taken out!
This video gave me a better perspective on how to look after my digestive health! Thank you, Dr. Berg! 👍👍👍
Avril Maiu omg same here!!! Mine was removed a year ago and before the surgery I lost like 15 pounds because I was watching what I was eating so I wouldn’t get the pain. After the surgery I have been eating lots of junk food, stuffed myself etc so I gained back those 15+ pounds..after my Gallbladder got removed, I feel a little pain on that side of by stomach. My Dr never told me what to avoid. This
Mine was removed in 1991 and the only thing I was told nutrition-wise was to go on a LOW fat diet. Right now I'm doing my version of Keto/Paleo (which I call Keleo) and am FINALLY succeeding in losing weight. So happy for doctors like Dr. Berg. 😊
No one should have to tell you what to eat . Take some responsibility for yourself .
Avril Maiu No one EVER EXPLAINED THIS TO ME! My Doctor never said eat this or don’t eat that! I have been thinking I was lactose in tolerant!
@@kathyrosa35 Hi , same with me I still get that little pain where the original pain was when I had my gall bladder , I know because I passed a gall stone and the pain in that area was so bad I had to call the paramedics at 03.00 in the morning, when they got me to the hospital they took blood instantly , the nurse came back with the results within thirty minutes the senior doctor said you’re passing a gall stone they gave me morphine and was I relieved they kept me in to take gall bladder out . That was 4yrs ago and they told me I could eat anything I wanted but eat small meals and often ,, I suddenly started gaining weight the only change to my diet was I could eat grapes and other fruits but I still got that little pain ,, when I saw the surgeon for check up She said have you put weight on !, YES one and half stone in six months , unfortunately I didn’t have a choice as there were serious complications, but I wish I still had my gallbladder ,, still get that little pain I did mention it to her she said it was a nerve pain …
Thank you Dr. Berg for taking about this, I been so scare with out not knowing what to do this is so valuable information.
Look, Guys. Did you not have pain before the gallbladder removal? I was so uncomfortable with gallbladder pain in the right upper abdomen three days out of seven at least and for months. I also ended up with a stone-blocked pancreas and pancreatitis, necessitating emergency hospitalization. Getting rid of the gallbladder was a blessing - and that was more than 30 years ago....
The gallbladder itself was not the problem. You took out a vital organ and it alleviated symptoms but that doesnt unfortunately mean the entire system is running as it should be, or will be in harmony forever. I do hope you've looked into supporting your liver and pancreas, along with cleansing them to avoid future issues. Issues may never come up for you and I hope they don't ❤ but prevention can be the best medicine.
@@VelvetyMoon Thank you for the advice. My situation was likely 40+ years ago. I have done well.
After I had my gall bladder out, I started suffering from acid reflux and severe IBS symptoms. The doctor sent me for a whole slew of tests (the same doctor that referred me for gall bladder removal), but never once linked it to my gall bladder surgery. I was told that once my gall bladder had been removed, I would be able to 'eat anything'. I suffered for years with acid reflux and IBS (with no medical diagnosis - they never did find the reason) before I found channels like this. Getting away from the standard low-fat, high-carb diet has been a life saver!
I too had my gallbladder removed and no one said anything about what dietary needs would result in the removal..... thank you for creating this video.
Wow thanks a million for all the information.Exactly what my questions were regarding your last video about nuts and gallbladder.
I like this guy! He makes lots of sense plus his soft voice makes it easy to watch one video after the other
Definitely helpful. There is family history of the gallbladder for me so mine as removed once I developed stones. After that I was told I could resume my regular eating habits which was high in carbs because I love carbs, too much. Now I have other issues but I’m reversing them slowly. Thank you for your knowledge!
What are you doing at this point? And is it helping?
@@Sunshine23194 sorry I’m seeing this so late. I’ve had to reduce my carb intake because my body isn’t breaking things down right. That may have been an issue though before the gallbladder. Unfortunately, it’s tough to find a doctor who is willing to actually help you figure it all out. I’m not great at meal planning or sticking to a certain diet but portion control and reducing what’s causing the problem has helped so far. Exercise is the next thing I have to get better about.
Makes me really appreciate the gallbladder, and generally looking after my entire body as best I can.
Thanks for your time...this is what they should have told me when I left the hospital after removal but they gave me no information at all. I appreciate the advice, have a great day!..
Thank you for this information. My gallbladder was removed over 30 years ago after a month of pain and suffering. I went to the doctor with pain in the abdomen ever week and told them that I was hurting really bad in the left abdomen area and showed them where I was hurting. They kept saying it was heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion and gave me a different medications every week. Finally, after 2 days of not even being able to keep water down. My boyfriend at the time took me (carrying me) into the doctors office and told them that we were not leaving until they figure out what was wrong with me. Well, they wheeled me out the back door across the parking lot to the hospital. My gallbladder was found to be 3 times the size it should be with 3 one inch size stones in it. The next day they did surgery and I was told that the gallbladder burst open when they were removing it. The surgeon came to check on me the next day and was surprised at the improvement I made in less than 24 hours after surgery. No one told me anything about what to eat or not eat. I have had to make many lifestyle changes over the years and find more ever time I turn around. Isn't life great when you are not fully informed by your doctor's or other's that are supposed to know this stuff?
My sympathies to you about your bile problems. May I recommend the Let's Eat Right series of books by Adelle Davis? Hard to find books, but worth every penny!
Thanks for the information... l am have problems with my indigestion and abdomen pain ...think it if not having my gallbladder. They don't talk to you about the surgery. Let you make a choice .
I can't thank you enough,I have been on so much pain since the removal of my gallbladder,four years ago. I will be giving your recommendation a try,I'm praying it works. Thank you
I've been suffering from this for years myself. He is giving us good information
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. 🤗👍🏼🦋
I feel most of this is really good advice in general, with or without a gallbladder.
God bless you Dr. Berg! I wish I had known about you and your amazing, life-changing point of view and knowledge sharing years ago. Thank you. A million times, thank you.
Honestly THIS IS SUCH A PERFECT EXPLANATION AND SO MUCH NEEDED....so greatful , thank you ..!
Thanks for the info... I've been having difficult after the gallbladder removal for 30 years... Things got more deeper and more painful in the last 3 years. I hope a better diet is not too late to relieve me of some of my pain.
I had my gallbladder removal 37 years ago, I had a big stone and terrible pain. Was glad to have surgery. I went on a few weeks diet and my doctor told me I could eat normal again. After my pregnancy I was keeping my weight down. And I started gaining weight and couldn't understand why. I went on diet and would lose a few pounds. The last years I have a dry cough. No one can tell me why. I had lungs test and everything was fine. I just saw a advertisement for bitter substance and starting readings about it. Now I think that not having a gallenblase is causing my problems and weight gain. Since June I started my eating habits and still have lost only 8 pounds. I plan to start taking bitter substances and hope it helps. I wish my doctor had told me more about gallbladder removal. God made everything for a reason. I wish I knew this years ago.
Yup it sux indeed Amen 🙏!
Have an MRI on your adrenal.
I have developed a chronic cough, and now I'm wondering if it's from my lack of gall bladder
Thanks Dr. Berg, you answered my question which I have always been asking in your other related videos..
It’s interesting that my Dr. Has never mentioned any of this ‘aftercare’ so thank you very much for that! 🙏🏼✨ I’m certain my issue was diet and I tried several changes before finally giving in to having my gall bladder removed, I even went for a second and third opinion. My gall stone was huge! About the size of an extra large black olive 🤢 I have changed my diet entirely since but still experience some occasional bloating. Looking forward to implementing a few of your recommendations. Thx again 👍🏼💕
I can't thank you enough Dr.Berg. I had my gallbladder removed 7 months ago and since then i am in constant pain and also experiencing a few of the other side effects you are mentioning. My surgeon and doctors have been proved utterly hopeless, useless and unable to provide correct advice and / or information in regards to the post-surgery recovery. Thank you!!!!
Hi Anna, Sorry to hear what you have been through, I've also had tons of problems post removal. Has anything helped you so far that you might recommend?
Was is laparoscopic or open surgery?
I like that! Hopeless, useless & unable to provide... Mine to. Especially useless.
I'm so grateful 4 U and I've shared your Practice and videos with all my friends and family! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! We are alot more body smart and take better care of our bodies because of U! Many Blessings to You and Your Family! Live Long and Prosper Dr. Berg!
Thank you so much for this very helpful advice. Had my gall bladder out 6 yrs ago and have suffered from gas, bloating, reflux and mild pain ever since. A lot of ongoing trial and error with diet. This additional info will help that process.
I just had my gallbladder removed Friday evening, sent Saturday afternoon. 👍Great video
Thank you this explained why I have so many gut and acid reflux episodes. It is sad that surgeons fail to educate their patients.
Thanks for frightening me with your information LOL. I had my gallbladder removed 3 months ago and thanks God I don't suffer from any of the symptoms you mentioned in this video. Perhaps because I do intermittent fasting and eat healthily.
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!
Thank you Dr. Berg. I very much appreciate you putting this information out there. Thank you for also writing things on the whiteboard. Visual aids are helpful!
It's really great information ❤❤❤
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.
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.
That was over 22 years ago. I just now found out about ox bile and digestive enzymes. It's sad the medical profession puts their greed before their patients' welfare. So much for do no harm.
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. I wish I knew how to take care of my gallbladder beforehand.
Patricia I'm same as you 37 when removed I'm now 65...it was a chance find ..I wish I hadn't had it taken out ...in UK it's hard to get bile salts ..how much bike salts should you take and after what type of food ?thanks
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. ❤️🙏
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!!
I had my gallbladder removed when I was 17. I'm now 55 tomorrow. No one ever told me this. I suffer from stomach issues all the time especially here the last two + year's. Still no one explains this. I wish I had on paper what is good and not good to eat. I suffer so much, that it interferes with so many things including the most important. Family 😔
You should try a functional doctor. They can help you find out how to control the issues you have with nutrition and supplements.
@@kittygill432 I just get Medicare. Idk if that pays for that kind of Dr. I'm in ky and actually not sure where to find one?
@@lovemykids993 I see. Can you find a nutritionist in the meantime? Look for one under your plan. Some of them are covered by insurance. That would be a good place to start.
@@kittygill432 finding a functional doctor who takes insurance is really tough! But I 1000% agree with that suggestion.
Goodness you were too young bro have gallbladder problems at 17
Your the first nice ever heard off. I hope you remain well
Thanks to Dr. Berg, I finally discovered the need for bile salts approximately 5 years after removal! That was about 18 months ago. I’m finally feeling better after literally starting to fall apart due to no longer being able to process fat vitamins (A,D, E, K, etc...) Bone loss, depression, tooth deterioration...and all the other nasty side effects mentioned in this video! As time goes on I have adjusted how much bile salts I need by what’s in each meal. Finally have my life back! Didn’t think anything could be worse than living with a wonky gallbladder...but living without one and no advice from doctors, just about did me in! Of course, had I known what I know now, I feel pretty certain I could have restored it to proper functioning and avoided all the expense and grief!
Are bile salts and ox bile the same?

Yes
Hii can u share your experiences about digestion
@@SeriouSXXFireworks Yes.
@@Roobah any good brands you recommend
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
Thank you for everything you do Dr. Berg.
Dr Berg thank you , you are a real Doctor and a genius and a beautiful soul, I think I`m having a bromance !
Dr. Berg, thank you for the answers to the gallbladder issues. What is, "Moderate fat", intake percentage wise? Your support is greatly appreciated.
I also have this question.
@@mlentirlentir6498 I found on a different website that `fat calories should total no more than 30 percent of your daily calories intake` and to `Look for foods that offer no more than 3 grams of fat per serving`. There is probably more info on this on the internet. I don't think youtube will let me place the link here, but you should be able to find the link by googling the phrases between `quotes`.

I think everyone is different on amount.... ?
Also If you’re doing Healthy Keto & IF ...
I’ll feel Yuc when have eaten too many Fats ...
Gallbladder & Digest Formula
Has Helped me a lot!
I do 70%+ fats this works for me !
Once fat adapted, at least 50% a day to stay in ketosis. I take fat digestives to help, as I have no gallbladder.
Thank you Dr Berg. I have been following you for a while now. I had my gallbladder removed 15 years ago. No doctor has advised as to diet or any side effects. I am now suffering with constipation. Will check out the next vid to correct my diet.
Thank you dr. I have lots of issues about digestion after my gallbladder removed in (2015). I will sure follow you this is really a helpful video for me thanks again.
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?
@@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!
Thank you so much Dr. I had my gallbladder removed and asked my GP for the right diet. All he said was to take my medication and go home. I suffered for allmost 25 years now. Developed Diabetes type 2. Suffer from constipation and all sorts of digestive problems. I can't believe that he was so incompetent.
Great info! Thanks!
Back in the 80s I had gallbladder problems which was misdiagnosed as an ulcer! After a year finally had it removed. The same doctor never explained side effects or about diet! Didn’t even know I should have been eating different till recently. Thank you Dr. Berg!
I feel you, I suffered from that “so called ulcer” since I was 13 yrs old. Only when I was 41 it was discovered that I need a surgery to remove my gallbladder. After a week of excruciating pain with doctors not finding what was wrong.
Only to be told that I need to go under the knife.
Thank you. Had gallbladder removed 23 years ago. No one explained anything to me after ward. Apparently it was still healthy...but now gone. Suffer extremely reflux, produce too much insulin. Told to loss weight but never spoken as to why or how. Now finally beginning to understand.
It would really help to know what moderate fat and protein means in terms of numbers.
in general for most women, one should strive to eat on any given day, 50 grams of protein, 50 grams of net carbohydrates, and 100 grams of dietary fat. for men, those numbers should be 75 grams of protein, 75 grams of net carbs, and 150 grams of dietary fat
@@mosescordovero8163 for most without a gallbladder, those fat grams are way too high.
well the way i figure it, most men should eat about 1,950 calories per day, while most women should eat about 1,300 calories a day. based on that, coupled with the idea that fat should make up 70% of one's calories, is how I arrived at my numbers above
@@mosescordovero8163 without a gallbladder you might be stuck with more like 50% fat, 30% protein, 20% carb.
Which isn't actually keto, but it is deeply low carb
@@mosescordovero8163 wow!!! Being realistic Moses, that's a very low Calorie intake, and the fat you recommend is very high compared to Protein/ Carbs....Although I'm a proponent of higher fat.
Thank you Mr. Rogers!
Thank you for this video, Dr. Berg! I had my gallbladder removed around ten years ago from having gallstones. After the surgery, the doctor told me I can eat anything I want. Sometimes it feels like I have gallstones when I don't eat as healthy. The information in this video is very helpful!
Thanks bunches for this video!
Yay! This is so amazing!!! My mom had hers out 2 years ago and it seems like the most barbaric treatment for a problem. And no one has come up with a better solution. After care information sucks in general. The medical establishment just says, eat normally your body will build right back up. You don't really need a gallbladder to live. (???) My first thought was, what about fat soluble vitamins? Anyway, Thank you dr. B. Can you please follow this up with some good supplements recommendations. That would be great!
Surgeon's & hospitals are paid well to remove gallbladder for no good reason & refuse to teach you anything about what you need to do afterwards.
My gallbladder was removed more than 50 years ago. I found that adding a couple tablespoons of heavy whipping cream to my coffee and then taking my fat soluble vitamins helps.
Ahahahahaha you sound like me I’ve been craving sweets so I’ve been eating cakes 🍰
Thank you so much. Your the man!!!!! These videos have changed my lifeb
You don't take into account that people who have had their gallbladder out, already had gallbladder issues and so may have been suffering with low bile and vitamin deficiency for some time as well as many of the dietary issues (obviously these are classed as symptoms to diagnose gallbladder disease). So this isn't a case of 'after' removal but during the time when you're waiting for removal too. I will never know if my bile was doing what it was supposed to do before I had my gallbladder removed.
Hi Dr berg 🤩
Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸
Thank you so muchhhhhh!!!
those bile salts are amazing, cleared sludge out of my gallbladder, released so much pressure and pain diminished significantly.
That was most informative. I often think I should consult a dietician to help determine balanced and nutritional meals. You provide a great head start. Thank you.
You're such a legend, Dr Berg! Thanks!
I wish they never took my gallbladder out! Yuh! He is correct! I feel better eating moderate fat, protein and low carb. No more pasta meals..ouch to my system. Thanks Dr.Berg! 👍😊
That was helpful! Thank you. I wish this video had come out BEFORE my gallbladder was removed back in 2015.
Mine was removed that year too! (right after I gave birth to my daughter). It was terrible. Thankful for this vid. Working on changing my diet. God bless you.
Me too. I had mine out in August of 2015. It was only functioning 2%.
Mine removed 48hours ago
Praying for you as you recover. God bless.
@@sheilaapostol9173 I removed it yesterday and I feel terrible after watching this video :(
Thank you Dr. Berg for this explanation! Following you from The Netherlands I got the inspiration for a change în eating habit: specifically for a person with fatty liver/ scarring due to NAFLD.
I am looking now what sort of nutrients should I take to replace the function of the gallbladder which I have removed, quite a few years ago ( I have a chronic infection of the liver still after removal gallbladder)!
ACV is the first step taken sinds last year september and bloating and GURD are things of the past!
Following you with great interest your Q&A' s guide me further, better than my endocrinologist!
Thanks and Keep up your work because it helps immensely!
This was great! Preparing for Gallbladder surgery
Thank you, I truly appreciate your time and sharing of your knowledge. While following the healthy ketogenic diet is OMAD possible without the gallbladder? My gallbladder was removed a year ago, shortly before I discovered Dr. Berg's channel :(
I had already noticed the onset of all the side effects mentioned a couple of years before I began experiencing the gall stone pain. But since the removal, the deterioration of my eyesight, skin issues, etc.has accelerated greatly. I am seriously following keto and IF OMAD now but I am having some of the GI issues mentioned which is what lead me to ask the question.
Thank you dr. Berg - now your'e showing us with removed gallbladder that there is some hope for us to have a good life quality despite. Right food is the key, then.
Thank you Dr. Berg.. this helps much
I was never told this after surgery, its been over 20 years ago, its good to know I have picked up on some of these methods on how to eat.
Dr Berg, could you please talk about diet and supplements after colon removal. Also, how to keep stool more solid, less liquid.
Had my gallbladder removed 18 years ago. I was never told any of this information. Hardly informed consent when they don't tell you what is going to happen after they take a part of your body out of your system.
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. 😡
Drear dr, thanks for making this video, it is really helpful for me and many more who don't have gallbladder. Kindly make a video for us that how will we come to know that we have fatty liver. Thanks. I am also your follower.
Thank you for the information. I don’t recall them ever talking to me about diet after my gall bladder removal years ago.
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…!!!
How are you doing now?
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.
Did you try the bile salt?
Had mine out 3 years ago. Thank you for the education! Some things I didn’t know!!!!!
Gall bladder problems run in my family. A cousin and an Aunt had their gall bladders removed, also a sister in law. I have polyps in my gall bladder, apparently, but I've not noticed any problems, so far. It was found as part of a scan for something else. This is a very useful video.
Yes!! Thank you! My doctor's could NOT tell me why my gallbladder had stones they just kept saying that it is sick and doesn't work anymore and needs to be removed. They didn't know why and they NEVER told me anything about vitamin deficiencies or any side effects of having it removed!!🙄 I appreciate you Soo much Dr. berg!!
Thank you for the info. I suffered for many years from endometriosis, eventually had three major surgeries, the last being a hysterectomy. I chose not to take HRT due to the source it's acquired from...I did great for years until the gall bladder had to come out. But no one mentioned bile salts to me....is there a specific dosage you can recommend?
Thank you for your help.Dr.Berg.I had my gall bladder removed 27years ago now having pain and more problems need a new idea in healthy eating and diet.
Thank you, you have explained this better than anyone I’ve heard on TH-cam...
Very glad to be of help.
I needed to hear this!🌺
Glad you found it so helpful.
