If you have had your gallbladder removed, then there are 2 things that you must attend to for the rest of your life:

1. You must give your body the stuff that the surgery removed – bile. The gallbladder stores the bile that the liver manufactures, then squirts it into the digestive tract when necessary. If the gallbladder is not there anymore, then not enough bile will be able to get into the digestive tract to do its job. In this case, you will have to take a supplement that contains bile with each meal. My favorite is Youngevity’s “Ultimate Enzymes.” Take 1-2 at the beginning of a meal. If the meal contains a lot of fat, then take 3-4 at the beginning of the meal.

2. You must try and figure out why the gallbladder became funky in the first place. Most of the time this is due to the presence of gallstones. If gallstones were the culprit then even though you no longer have a gallbladder, you must take steps necessary to help your body produce healthy bile – as unhealthy bile was the reason for the stone formation in the first place.
