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?

Get an endoscopy and see if u have an h pylori infection.Which is caused by bile reflux which is caused by cholecystectomy.
I did and I'm on 14 day antibiotic and headache and nausea are gone.

@zekeyzekey - what did the surgeon who removed your gallbladder say about the headaches you're experiencing and a possible connection to the gallbladder removal?

Headaches solved.Here is the short of it.Cholecystectomy leads to bile reflux which leads to h pylori infection,confirmed by endoscopy.
14 day antibiotic regimen and feeling way better on day 😁
