An interesting article on gallbladder issues

and "IBS" and how she's discovered that what seems to work for us worked for her.

So, what you want the TLDR version of what you should do? Although my old surgeon would tell me that I should be on a low-fat diet to aid digestion, I’ve switched to a low-carb (high fat and protein) diet. The result has been immediate and amazing results, both digestive and health wise (before you ask, I have great cholesterol – this is another “myth” for another day).

If you’re looking for an answer key, here it is (in my order of preference):
1.Do not eat grains. Any. Yes, seriously. Yes, corn is a grain. Or legumes. Or anything that is difficult for you to digest. Your body’s been through enough, eat simple to process foods – like fat and protein. If it comes out whole in your poop (corn, peas, sesame and flax seeds), avoid it.
2.Do not consume any oils unless they’re uncooked. Cook only with fats (solid at room temperature, the green ones in the above chart).
3.Start introducing gut healing foods into your diet, like coconut oil, bone broth, probiotics (found in raw sauerkraut or kombucha) and apple cider vinegar.
4.Eat the highest quality meat you can (this ties into step 1: avoid grains).
