Has anyone done food sensitivity testing?

I was also told that the test is not reliable by a dietitian. I have been battling IBS-D for the last 3 1/2 years. No one is mentioning that this could be coming from not having a gallbadder. Just found out through AI that there is a Bile Binder. Now I just have to find a doctor that will listen to me and write a script for it.

I'm also surprised that your surgeons wouldn't mention the function of the gallbladder before removing it - it stores bile and releases it when fats enter your small intestine. Bile emulsifies the fat and makes it easier to digest. Most carnivores and omnivores have one (although rats don't which is weird).
My gallbladder and I parted ways in the 1990s, and I haven't had problems, but about half the people who have a cholecystectomy do. I found this article had a good overview :

@joycenewjersey1019 I'm always amazed that Docs don't address digestion with patients who have their gall bladders removed! I'm 75, have several friends in that boat, and none of them realize that their body can no longer digest fats efficiently. I guess: do your own research.
