Dear Ask The Doctor: After my husbands gal bladder sergery he has not been regular and has bad bloating and gas in his stomach. what can he take or do to improve this Dear Amy: After removing a gallbladder, digesting foods especially the ones containing Fat might be difficult and could cause the symptoms that you present since the Gallbladder job is to store and concentrate the bile that would be used in digesting these types of foods. Hence what to eat after a gall bladder surgery counts. You should not eat foods like cereals, whole grain breads, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower after a gall bladder surgery.Usually you will be given liquid foods to eat after gall bladder surgery. Liquid foods do not load the digestive system. Some patients might have nausea even if they eat liquid foods after gall bladder surgery .The key is to eat low quantities of food that is easily digested, such as bland diet. Once he recovers completely from the surgery the diet should be normalized gradually. If the problem persists, a visit to his Gastroenterologist for a more complete evaluation might be recommended. I wish him a prompt recovery. |
