    interesting. After my gallbladder removal, I didn’t have any trouble.

    The only thing they said to me was “you’ll notice it if you eat anything super fatty”

      Wait what?

      When I eat anything fatty. Like sausages. I shit my guts out. Is my gallbladder fucked?

      Most things are fine e.g. a steak or olive oil. But not fatty meats and melted chess and some other dairy

        Could also be food intolerance for some ingretient.

        The gallbladder itself isn’t super neccesary, as it only stores some extra bile in case more is needed. The bile itself is produced by the liver. That’s why you will notice its absence when you eat something very fatty (bile is used to break down fats).

        Could be worth talking to a doc about. Checking your gallbladder for abnormalities is probably not much more than an ultrasound

      I live right next to the state specifically known for producing the most and largest variety of cheeses in the world. I’m not going to let something as minor as some cataclysmic gastric distress get between me and my processed milk fat.

      Joking aside my shits were apocalyptic for like a month after I got my gallbladder out regardless of what I ate. But my body is used to a very fat heavy diet and the doc told me my gall bladder looked like it had been fucked up for a while. So my body was probably overcompensating a bit on the bile.
