It had abrasions on it (or i think thats what they said, i was so drugged at the time i couldn't tell)? The inturn that was "assisting" my main surgon said it looked really sick and i was wondering, can Celiac reek havic with your gallbladder to make it sick?

Another question, I've been restricted to an all liquid diet today (was vomiting like mad earilier, called nurse and she suggested this). Any ideas on to what i should try and eat tommorow? I was able to handle rice and applesauce last night, but yeah it came back up today (and also messing up my vocal cords leaving me unable to speak).

(sorry if this doesn't read right, i still can't see very well due to the goup they put in my eyes yesterday)

I had my gallbladder out earlier this summer. The first day I threw up a lot but it slowed down the 2nd day and was completely gone by the third. I didn't feel too hungry the first few days, when I did eat it was peanut butter toast (Udi's). I'm sort of doubting celiac causing gall bladder problems, only because it seems gall bladder problems are so common with the general public that it's not surprising it's common within the celiac community as well. I know a lot of people who've had gall bladder surgery and do not have celiac.

Was your gb removed?

I've had terrible gb pain, but I lucked out with my recent gluten freedom. My mom, who I really think can't have gluten either, had hers removed a couple years ago, the doctors saying it was basically dead inside her. I'll always wonder if it was caused by gluten.

I hope you feel better!

because it was only working at 5% and my GI doctor wanted it out.

There are many of us who have had gall bladder issues. Since the antibodies can attack any organ I wouldn't be surprised if undiagnosed celiac might have something to do with it but I can't be sure.

I hope you recover from the surgery quickly.

I had a gallbladder-like stinging pain when I ate gluten before going gluten-free. It was one of my main symptoms. My Dr did an ultrasound and said there was nothing wrong with it!

I still get stinging from time to time. IMO the celiac disease does something to it..but I dunno?

Wishing you a speeedy recovery. Throwing up after having surgery is miserable! :(

Do you think the doctor could have said adhesions? My gallbladder was so swollen it had been pressing up into my liver and causing adhesions which is scar tissue linking the two organs together.

Had mine out in Dec '10. It was a battle for a month to get somewhat normal again.

I've heard people say it takes months or years to feel right.

I wish I could say something more positive. But I've suffered from pains, 'D', nausea, etc... but it has gotten

progressively better each day slowly. and gluten-free and dairy free will certainly help.

I had a really good GI doctor explain to me that even in people that don't have Celiac or gluten intolerance its still hard to digest.

Try staying away from anything fatty for a while and no grease. That seemed to help me.

Also, when I had mine out the surgeon side that my bile duct was malformed, like a birth defect.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
