When you eat, especially foods containing fat, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine to assist with digestion.

What changes after gallbladder removal?

Once the gallbladder is removed, the body no longer has a storage space for bile. The liver continues producing bile, but instead of being released in controlled amounts, it flows steadily into the intestines.

This continuous bile flow can lead to several digestive effects:

1.  Digestive adjustments

• Fat digestion may become less efficient
• Stools may become looser or more frequent
• Some people experience bloating or excess gas

2. Increased food sensitivity
