5. Eating Without a Gallbladder: The Foods That Heal (and the Ones That Hurt)

🎙️ Episode 5: Gallbladder Gone? These 6 Must-Eat Foods Are Gold

 

What actually happens to your digestion when your gallbladder is gone?

 

Why do some foods leave you feeling bloated, gassy, constipated — or running to the bathroom — while others seem to go down just fine?

 

And more importantly… are there foods that can help you feel normal again? That support your liver, bile flow, and gut, even without that tiny but mighty organ?

 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the 6 foods I consider absolute gold for life without a gallbladder. These are the foods that helped me go from groggy and helpless (yes, Jared wheeled me out of surgery before I was even conscious) — to feeling lighter, clearer, and in control of my digestion again.

 

And remember this powerful truth from 1 Corinthians 10:31:

 

“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”

Even how you eat can be an act of worship.
