Spicy foods (for some people)
Caffeine and alcohol (for some people)
The Bottom Line
Gallbladder removal is a common surgery, and millions of people live healthy lives without one. But it’s not without consequences. Your body must adapt to a new way of digesting fats, and for some, that adaptation comes with challenges.
If you’re facing gallbladder surgery:
Ask your doctor about non-surgical options first
Understand why surgery is being recommended
Prepare for digestive adjustments afterward
Know that most people adapt well with time and dietary changes
