Gallbladder removed 2009, having gallbladder attack pains,

Hello and welcome to e health forum. ‎

The main function of the Gall bladder is to concentrate the biliary secretions and then release them ‎when stimulated by the digestive hormones during digestion of food. ‎

Persistent pain after cholecystectomy, is associated with post cholecystectomy syndrome (PCS). The ‎condition is comprised of symptoms that existed prior to the cholecystectomy surgery or it may be ‎new symptoms that followed the cholecystectomy.‎

PCS is caused by changes that occur in how the bile flows within the body without a functioning ‎gallbladder to store excess bile. ‎

When excess of the bile flows into the upper portion of the gastrointestinal tract continuously it may ‎lead to gastritis and esophagitis. ‎

When this bile reaches the intestines and colon, it can result in pain in the lower abdominal area and ‎diarrhea.‎

Treatment of the condition might need treatment with antacids, proton pump inhibitors, ‎antispasmodics, or sedatives.

you might consider following a few tips to control your symptoms:

‎1. First and foremost drink plenty of water.‎

‎2. EAT A diet rich in water soluble fibers (found in fruits and vegetables). ‎
The inclusion of at least 3-4 servings of vegetables a day and two to four servings of fruit each ‎day is a must in a gallstone diet. Include fruits like - Dried fruits (dates, apricots, prunes, raisins); ‎raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, and oranges. Include more of vegetables like ‎beans, corn, and broccoli.‎

‎3. Include a lot of whole grain bread, corn bran, cereals, buns, muffins, bran flakes, whole wheat ‎cereals, whole grain pasta, and brown rice in your daily diet.

‎4. Make sure you stay away from red meat, fried ‎and fatty food items, onions, alcohol, and eggs. Staying away from heavy proteins like cheese, ‎butter, and whole milk is also a good idea.‎

I hope this helps.‎
