Hi I know I can't eat fried eggs as it give nausea and discomfort to me.

Today I tried hard boiled egg and yet I had gas after half on hour.

I heard those without gallbladder can't take egg yolks as too much protein in it. Anyone has this problem

    Hi Anita, 

    your comment on eggs is interesting....I had my GB out 3 years ago and I now find eggs , well to put it delicately , explosive within minutes ! Which is a real pity . I can just about cope with a very hard boiled egg only .

    Hi Anita

    i don't think I'll ever eat eggs again!! I don't think it's worth taking the risk. Eggs are well known for not agreeing with people without a gallbladder and found they were a big factor in bringing on gallstone attacks as well.

    Like the others who posted, after my gallbladder was out, eggs first thing in the morning aren't good for me either. But I seem to be able to tolerate hard boiled ok like at lunch.  

    But I do take LYPOGOLD which is a fat digestive supplement and oxbile. That combo seems to help me with eating anything!

    I scramble 2 eggs with a bit of milk, melt a bit of grass fed butter in the bottom of a bowl and microwave them--I can also eat them if I fry two with butter.  So, no problems with eggs for me.  I think the problem stems from the choline in the eggs, not the protein.  xx

    hi anita

    I can eat eggs. but I can't eat milk...

    I really liked to drink milk...

    I think It depends on the person.

    Hope you get well soon smile

    I have made 3 999 calls due to terrible gall bladder attacks.

    I noticed I had eaten 2 scrambled eggs just before the December 2020 attack.

    Last night, I ate 1 fried egg in a roll and started to have pain, which did not proceed to agony, but I waited in fear when the symptoms started.

    I have eaten chocolate cream and chocolate sponges made with lots of eggs over Christmas. I have no problems with eggs mixed in cakes or the chocolate whipping cream, BUT I AM NOT RECOMMENDING THEM.

    However, egg freshly and lightly fried, gives me major problems. I have been a pescetarian , no meat, for around 20 years. My stomach cannot cope to digest hard protein. Apparently eggs also have a high cholesterol content which can play havoc I read with the gall bladder.

    In a nutshell, if I mix the eggs with flour, I am OK, but not otherwise. I usually can cope with a floury pancake, but am not recommending one:(

    I am going to try and amend my diet to avoid an operation.

    Good luck.
