I recently had my gallbladder removed and have been experiencing digestive issues. What kind of diet should I follow to manage these symptoms?

Male | 37

Even after gallbladder surgery, diarrhea, bloating, or gas is a common problem. This happens because the gallbladder is one of the key players in the digestion of fats and without it, the body struggles with the digestion of fatty foods. Eating a low-fat diet is one way to lessen these symptoms. Try consuming more fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. Avoid greasy, fried, and spicy foods as they can cause discomfort. Eating small, frequent meals throughout the day can also help. Your body might need some time to get used to the new condition, so have patience and monitor how it reacts to different foods.
