[|AI|]  Hi.thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. Read your question thoroughly and understood your concern. Gall bladder primary role is to store "bile".when gall bladder is intact, bile is usually secreted after having a meal rich in fat; bile plays a vital role in fat digestion. After gall bladder is removed, bile is continuously being secreted in small intestine and may reflux into stomach. As a result, gastric inflammation may occur causing pain and discomfort. Moreover, high fat meal induces more bile secretion further affecting gastric mucosa.advise:advised to have an ultrasound and exclude any tones remnants in the common bile duct NO fat intake OTC proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole, pantoprazole)to combat gastritis (after discussing with treating physician)hope to answer your concern wish you good and sound health. Regards Chat Doctor.
