Gallbladder Removal Diet And The Gallbladder Problems – Dr.Berg

Download Keto Essentials

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

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. ❤️🙏

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.

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.

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 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!!

[linamustafa]

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.

[charityGFenc]

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! 💚

[cmartipants]

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 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.

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.

Love this Doctor's teaching. No long stories, straight to the point of what you should know and do.

[dyahviona]

Scrolling through the comment section and see so many grateful people you have helped. Dr. Berg you are the saviour!

[TStroud-ie]

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!

[wendyporter]

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.

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!!

[frosttouched]

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!

[avayu]

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!

[lauraperry]

This is what I needed 22 years ago. But better late than never. Thank you Doctor Berg.

[patriciasmith]

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...
