Gall bladder of a patient was surgically removed. Which of the following dietary advice would be helpful to him? Correct Answer Avoid high fat food

The correct answer is Avoid high fat food.

Explanation:

  • The gallbladder is an oval-shaped, 4-inch-long organ connected to the liver.
  • It concentrates bile from the liver and delivers it to the small intestine to help in digestion.
  • The gallbladder may need to be removed if it becomes infected or develops stones.
  • After gall bladder removal, a person's ability to digest fats may be impaired.
  • There is no diet that people should follow after gall bladder surgery. In general, it is best to avoid foods that are high in fat, fried, greasy, and sugary.
  • After the gallbladder removal eating these foods will not cause any serious health issues, but it will cause a lot of painful gas, diarrhea, and bloating. Because that bile flowing freely into the intestine acts as a laxative.
  • After the gallbladder removal surgery, people should avoid certain foods, such as:
    • fatty, greasy, sugary, or fried foods.
    • caffeine, which is commonly found in tea, coffee, and energy drinks
    • alcoholic beverages such as beer, spirits, and wine 
    • spicy food
