Pittsburg, Kansas | My wife has no gall bladder and she can have problems if she eats too much fat in one setting. She gets along fine most of the time but it is easy for me to up the fat content at one meal and not the next. If she gets way too much the bathroom needs to be nearby.
She also has to be careful with anything like MCT or coconut oil. A little goes a long way for her. The liver still makes all the bile it used to. But with the bladder gone there is no ability to "bolus" the digestion when a big slug of fat comes in like it could do with the storage bladder.
You can get over the counter bile salts to aid in digestion of fats. Like Ox bile salts. She has tried them and has some on the shelf at home. Says they may help a little but are not a cure all. You have to remember to take the pill when having the extra fat.
