Soluble fiber (oats, apples, bananas)

In some cases, bile-binding medications prescribed by a doctor

For most people, this improves within weeks or months.

2. Bloating, Indigestion & Fat Intolerance

Some patients report digestive discomfort after surgery.

Common symptoms:
Gas and bloating

Feeling full quickly

Nausea after fatty meals

Abdominal discomfort

Why:
Without the gallbladder's bile storage function, fat digestion may feel less efficient initially.

What helps:
Gradually reintroduce fats

Avoid fried and greasy foods

Eat smaller, more frequent meals

Stay hydrated

Many people adapt over time as the body adjusts.

3. Post-Cholecystectomy Syndrome (PCS)
A small percentage of patients may experience persistent abdominal pain or digestive symptoms even after surgery.

This condition may involve:

Ongoing upper abdominal pain

Reflux-like symptoms

Digestive irregularities

Sometimes symptoms are not caused by the gallbladder itself but by other digestive conditions that were already present.

Medical follow-up is important if symptoms continue.
