Hey gallbladder-less ladies

[dixeedeluxe]

Were you put on digestive enzymes?

No but probably should have been. I have a shit ton of digestive issues still (gallbladder removed in 2009). Still phantom pain in that area and still run to the fucking bathroom at times.

I never knew it was a thing until recently and now I want to know more about it! I'll post if I learn anything.

Hmm. No, I never even heard of them before. I think my system was messed up even before hand. I still get a lot of acid reflux and drinking alcohol really doesn't agree with me anymore at all.

My acid reflux slowed down after I got rid of my gallbladder (I was at my skinniest too at that time). It came roaring back in pregnancy and I just had a big issue with it recently (if you are not at your lowest weight it may act up more). Prilosec is the only thing that works for me when this happens, I go up to 40mg a day then back down to 20mg when it's chilled out. Drinking alcohol is a hard one too! It's a bad sleep night if I do some of the time! Also, I'm a coffee drinker (was doing at least one large a day) and when I died this down to try to stop the reflux I got constipated. GI issues suck as a whole! Dixee def let me know how those enzymes go! I have heard about them in the past (from a chick at the natural health food store down the street from me recommending them to me).

Hmm I didn't think about my extra 30lbs I'm still carrying around! I guess it makes sense. I love coffee too and I've had to go to decaf because I was getting such bad indigestion. I was also getting that lump in the throat feeling and waking up nauseaous.. I take protonix, I think I was on Prilosec first. Protonix is really good for me, it's just my diet has sucked.
