It's really the liver that manufactures the bile so even without the gall bladder, so long as the bile production is normal, there shouldn't be any serious concerns. Chris, re "It is extremely stressful to think about how bad her diet is, and how little she cares about her health." I think that in many cases, there is denial. And it translates to not caring about one's health. I do wonder sometimes if I am guilty of the same thing. But then again I've never been previously obsessed with food I am not told to go easy on.

I kinda know how Alex feels. My mom went through the same exact operation, except in her case it had gotten infected badly and required an emergency surgery to save her life. It is extremely stressful to think about how bad her diet is, and how little she cares about her health. It's good to see that you've increase your intake of the "healthier" food tho, that's something I still have to convince my mother to do. When your children love you as much as they do, the fear of losing you is an almost overwhelming and paralyzing thing. I know, because I have to live with it every day.

Haven't read your column for quite sometime. I was away for vacation. Anyway, tell Speedy that a person when his/her gall bladder is removed, there is no necessary dietary adjustment. The gall bladder is a non functional organ. When the gall bladder is removed, the bile instead of being stored in the gall bladder, it goes directly to the small intestines.The only repercussion is that too much bile in the small intestines will result in diarrhea. At least you won't have constipation. Don't worry. Just eat anything you like. The key word is moderation. Connie,

As in extremely decadent or extremely deprived. And those who evangelize "clean" living can sometimes be so insufferable. They sound like zealots already. As in LAHAT BAWAL.
