“Hello fellow former cholecystectomy patients!

4 years ago I had my gall bladder out due to gall stones. (more like a rock garden by the looks of the ultrasound). I thought the pain and vomiting would go away like magic. Alas, it didn’t. It continued. I constantly ate bread because at least the pain would subside. 2 years later and after a rather invasive colonoscopy/endoscopy exam (of which I have yet to frame those pics) for them to tell me I had Bile Gastritis. I had to take Carafate for a while. Good thing I got the BG under control because honestly, the Carafate was no picnic.

The thing is the tolerances of what a person can eat depends on the person. There are foods to avoid…alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods…and always the low fat diet…..but somethings you will be able to eat, other things you can’t. For me, I can’t get near fresh pineapple. Love it….but it will make me double over after 3 pieces.
