I had my gallbladder removed about 6 months ago. I'm doing well and seem to be to eat everything OK. I've been taking a pancreatic digestive enzyme with my meals.
Do you think it's a good idea to take enzymes, especially for fat digestion now that my gallbladder is gone? And should I switch to plant enzymes? Which ones and how much?
Thanks,
Gwen
Hi Gwen
Did your MD prescribe the enzymes or are you taking them on your own?
There is no need to take any enzymes after having your gallbladder removed.
What is helpful is to eat a low fat diet and be very careful of dairy products, and any fatty foods. Avoiding alcohol can also be helpful
So for that info, you are in the right place
