Headaches daily 3 months after cholecystectomy

Posted by unja @unja, Oct 31, 2021

Hi,
Had my galbladder out August 13th. Since then, ice had headaches every day. I'm also struggling with diet. Cut out almost all fat for the first few weeks and slowly introduced some back in, but still can't eat much at one time without getting nauseous and a headache. The headaches aren't always right after eating, but often. Many people in an online galbladder removal froyo I'm in on Facebook complain of the same headaches, but nobody gas an answer. Can not having a galbladder cause them and, if so, why?

I am having the same issue. That's how I stumbled across this thread. Attempting to find a correlation and some answers. I am almost 2 months out, post gallbladder removal, and have had severe migraines lasting 3+ days almost weekly. It is taking a toll on me. I'm having more bad days than good lately. I did read somewhere that it has been linked to the bile leakage into the system post gallbladder removal. That's the closest I have found to any answers regarding the matter. I have suffered from migraines since I was a kid. However, since being grown, have only suffered from them once every 3-6months. Until having my gallbladder removed. As I said, it's now been on a weekly basis with more days of having them than not. I hope that as time goes on it will subside and lesson. I have an appointment on Wednesday with my family doctor and will Definetly be speaking to her in regards to it and see what she thinks or says. I believe there is Definetly a strong relation to having gallbladder removal. There has been nothing else that correlates to this change in frequency, severity & prolonged period of having them. It is definitely frustrating and taxing on my body as well as mentally and emotionally. If I receive a definitive answer on Wednesday when I see my doctor, I will definetly reply/comment again and let you & others on this thread know if there is in fact a direct relation to gallbladder removal.

Did you get any answers? I had my gallbladder out on 7/22 and I’ve had a migraine every day. I’ve been to the ER 2xs and my neurologist prescribed a string migraine medicine but I only get a few hours relief. No one know why this is happening. On top of this I Have MS and 2 littles so this has been a nightmare!
