Probiotics and digestive enzymes after gallbladder removal
Posted , 12 users are following.
I seem to be having digestive issues after having my gallbladder removed two months ago. I feel full after eating small amounts, fell nauseous and sick after eating, I can only eat very little and I've lost a lot of weight. I feel awful. My stomach just feels full or air or something and tight. There's a area to the right of my belly button that hurts when pressed. No lump or anything but it feels weird after I eat and stuff like everything piles up there? And when pressed on its weird subtle pain. I just want to feel normal again and actually have an appetite. Will I constantly feel like this forever? If you guys have any recommendation of probiotics or digestive enzymes I should try please let me know. I'm desperate. I heard those would help but I'm too nervous and scared to try anything thinking they'll make me feel worse or won't work.

Look for chewable Papaya Enzyme tablets at a health food store; they help with digestion I would ask the doctor about your symptoms, though...you shouldn't hurt at this point following surgery unless there's a lot of gas build-up or an infection IMO. Hopefully someone with more experience than I will chime in with some suggestions~ Hugs

Thanks for the reply! Yeah my stomach just feels weird in general. Can't each much or it feels like I ate five meals at once. I can't eat a full meal yet. It's really sucks. Can one take probiotics and enzymes together? Do you take any by the way? I heard papaya alone and pineapple help give digestion and also yogurt?

That's a good question (probiotics and papaya mixing). I guess I would ask the pharmacist for guidance on that. I sure hope you get relief soon~

How long exactly? I'm tired of feeling so sick, I really don't think this is normal. Did this happen to you? And did you feel nausea and like your stomach was weird? For once I would like to eat and feel fine, not sick. And I eat very little and feel full easily. I feel as I cannot eat a full meal yet; I eat the amount of a kid size meal.

I was fine for about a week or two after and then this happens not sure why and this is why I'm asking if maybe I should consider taking probiotics and enzymes or either one and if it's helped anyone with no gallbladder.

Hi
Please don't worried yourself. I had my removed a year ago and after severals months I felt almost like you described. I lost a lot of weight myself but healthy and I like how I look.
I was never a big person to begain with so I was worried at first. I went to see a Dr ran couples of test. Except my protaien content in blood was a bit high. Other than that I feel good.
Is heathy to eat in small portion size. Do you go to the restroom every day ? I do once a day .

Hi! So you felt like I did too? How did it leave eventually? I eat small portions and still feel sick, but just yesterday I started digestive enzymes and i actually feel ok. Maybe they're working? Also I don't go every day, what do you take for that? I usually go once a week now, I think it's due to the fact I don't eat much
