For those that have had their gallbladder removed they should pay attention to eating a low fat diet as bile is pushed out when the fat signal arrives.....and eat regular frequent meals since bile is constantly dripping in to the small bowel and causing upper GI inflammation. Demulcent herbs like Marshmallow and Slippery Elm can be helpful for this inflammation as is L-glutamine the amino acid that helps the enterocytes...or cells lining the gut to replicate. More on this later, if I forget remind me, it is an important topic that can be easily fixed and I really want to share more when I have the time. *ALWAYS check with YOUR doctor before implementing any new herbs or neutraceuticals esp if you are currently on medications. Demulcent herbs should typically be taken separate from medications as they speed the medications through the ailimentary canal.

Another site says cucumber is very good as part of a gallbladder diet! I think i have gallbladder problems and cucumber seems to help my symptoms - even before i read that it was good i was instinctively eating it as it just 'felt' right. I’m confused.
