I recently had my gallbladder removed and have been experiencing digestive issues. What kind of diet should I follow to manage these symptoms?
Male | 37
Even after gallbladder surgery, diarrhea, bloating, or gas is a common problem. This happens because the gallbladder is one of the key players in the digestion of fats and without it, the body struggles with the digestion of fatty foods. Eating a low-fat diet is one way to lessen these symptoms. Try consuming more fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. Avoid greasy, fried, and spicy foods as they can cause discomfort. Eating small, frequent meals throughout the day can also help. Your body might need some time to get used to the new condition, so have patience and monitor how it reacts to different foods.

my mother had an MVR surgery in December 2020, at the time of discharge doctor told her to avoid green leafy vegetables, cabbage and tomatoes. After one year of periodically visiting our doctor told us the same thing but now it's been 2 years we didn't visit the doctor because of some financial issue. Now my mother's PT is 12.6 and INR is 2.8. Now can she eat leafy greens?
Female | 54
Dark leafy vegetables are high in vitamin K, which can affect blood thinners like warfarin. High PT and INR levels mean it is taking longer for the blood to clot, indicating a potential risk if the levels are too high. Despite their heart health benefits, Mom must avoid leafy greens for now. The best thing is to consult a dietician for personalized advice and guidance.
