Little-known consequences of gallbladder removal: health effects you should be aware of

What are the body’s reactions after gallbladder removal?

After the procedure, the body continues to produce bile from the liver, but its flow becomes constant, which can lead to several side effects:

Difficulty digesting fats.
Without a reserve storage facility, bile is constantly released, which can hinder fat absorption. Some foods rich in bile become more difficult to digest, sometimes causing diarrhea or bloating.

Digestive Disorders and Bile Reflux
A disturbance in the regulation of bile can cause it to flow back into the stomach, causing a burning sensation and pain similar to acid reflux.

Intestinal flora imbalance

Bile has natural antibacterial properties. Its constant flow can disrupt intestinal flora and increase the risk of digestive disorders or inflammation.

What are the long-term risks of the procedure?
Although the procedure is usually well-tolerated, some problems may arise over time:

Reflux gastritis: Bile can irritate the stomach lining, causing inflammation and digestive pain.
Increased risk of colon cancer: Research suggests a link between increased levels of secondary bile acids and chronic irritation of the colon.
Formation of new stones in the bile ducts: Constant bile flow can promote stasis and the formation of new stones.
