first off it's important to follow your doctor's order for diet progression after your surgery. there will likely be a progression to follow. it takes a while for the body to adjust to not having a gall bladder. fatty foods can be the most problematic since the gall bladder secretes bile to digest it (the liver takes over but it takes time). as for the spicy foods you mention you should be able to eat those again but be careful and give it time. spicy and fiber-rich foods too soon after surgery may cause digestion issues. check with your doctor or dietitian about how to gradually introduce those foods again. as for the capsicum check here for side effects. taking it in amounts typically found in food should be fine but large quantities may have adverse effects. good luck!
can i eat ghost peppers after gallbladder removal? . good morning. i am a huge fan of spicy foods and often eat ghost scorpion and carolina reaper peppers. i also like chilis and salsas spiced with pepper extracts. i found out recently that i have major gallstones and am going to have to have my gallbladder removed. after this procedure will it be safe to eat such foods? also are there any other medical concerns with large quantities of capsicum? . . thanks!
