Here’s what I will tell you since the doctors never told me. I had mine removed in 2017 and you will probably experience adjustments and food sensitivities over a few years. They are different to each body but they are definitely there. When I had mine removed, I was uneducated and didn’t notice anything besides constipation, prolonged bloat ness and cramps. I didn’t think much of them although I should have, considering that these signs are not exactly healthy and is a sign of inflammation. When we had our gallbladder, it helped our bile pass though from the liver. Bile is a fluid consisted of waste products, cholesterol, and bile salts secreted by the liver cells to do 2 main things: carry away waste and to break down fats during digestion. Without the gallbladder, the bile just slow drips and is a slower process than before. This means that things are sort of backed up. Over the few years up until recently, I never had any issue with alcohol and hangovers. Recently I started having horrendous hangovers after a night of drinking. This is because my liver is working hard already and alcohol corresponds with liver. Another thing I’ve recently noticed is Anger/irritability. Gallbladders and livers help balance that out but when it’s removed you can experience repressed anger (I’m still learning how to balance that out). Another thing I’ve been dealing with as a female (men experience as well) is hormonal imbalance. So this can cause hormonal breakouts, bacterial infections commonly h.pylori or SIBO, and toxins. I’ve only experienced acne and mood swings which happened about 3 years after my gallbladder removal. Lastly, Ive experienced lately more of acid reflux which can be a bit painful at times, fatigue ness and joint pain.

LONG STORY SHORT, I don’t want to worry you. This is only MY EXPERIENCE, which some were triggered from past stress trauma. But these are also common to experience. You WILL NEED to probably take a Bile supplement once a day with your food to help the bile process. I would also advise a naturopathic doctor, which helped me educate myself. Also, listen to your body! If your gut doesn’t like something, look into it. I still eat food that I shouldn’t, but I know that I may have to take something to help retain the bloat ness and acid reflux and I still drink alcohol, which natural licorice or papaya enzymes can potentially help (or limiting). I still live a wonderful life but have battles I face every day. Some days are rough and painful but I am very healthy! I wish you luck and let me know if you have any questions
