Dealing with symptoms after Gallbladder surgery

@tennisgolf, My gall bladder was removed when I had a liver transplant, and my husband's was removed several years ago. My husband was advised to limit the amount of fat in his diet. My surgery was 11 years ago and I don't remember what I was told specifically about a gall bladder diet, but I do try to avoid fatty foods and fried foods as recommended as part of my post transplant healthy eating focus.

I found this short article from Mayo that does mention fat and fiber could cause gas and bloating.

Have you asked your doctor what could be the cause? Could it be related to what you eat?

@rosemarya @tennisgolf My mother had her golf bladder removed many years ago, it must have been 1970! What I remember was that before the surgery she couldn't digest fats at all, she was extremely careful. After the surgery, she could eat anything so it always surprises me when I hear of post-gall bladder removal restrictions.

I do not recall if she had gas issues.

Thank you Rosemary! Yes, am sure it could be connected to diet. My surgeon never said much about it. Guess I will look up diets.
I do not eat fried food. But I do eat fatty foods. I am supposed to eat fiber for "regularity".
