Are you prone to a problem with 'Gall Bladder Removed'?
Gallbladder removal surgery is called a cholecystectomy. When bile gets thick, heavy, and sticky, gall stones from. Since Kapha people tend to have thicker fluids than the other doshas, they are prone to gallstones and the most likely candidates for a cholecystectomy. Although Kapha is more likely to have gall stones, this is a disorder that can occur in all three doshas. Digestive Disorders caused by Gallbladder RemovalThe liver produces bile and it is stored in the gallbladder, which is a small pouch. When it's time to digest fats, the gallbladder squeezes bile into your small intestine. Without the gall bladder to control the flow of bile, your body continually releases this hot substance into your GI tract, whether digestion is necessary or not. Additionally, when you do eat a meal, your body doesn't have enough bile ready to send out when it's the right time. This makes it very difficult for people without a gallbladder to digest fats.This continual flow of bile by the liver can irritate the intestines, causing diarrhea and inflammation. Inadequate bile can cause constipation and difficulty digesting fats. The herbs, supplements and food you eat will change depending on whether you have diarrhea or constipation following gall bladder removal. Ayurvedic ApproachAyurveda would recommend a Pitta pacifying diet for diarrhea. For constipation, use of cholagogues (herbs an foods that encourage the release of bile) may be helpful. Overall, a low fat diet is important. Avoid fried food, rich meats, and minimize dairy.Disclaimer: 'Gall Bladder Removed' could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.
