question: In October 2012 I had a surgery done in which my gall bladder was removed as it was filled up with a 2.7cm stone which was the probable reason for the severe pain attacks that I was getting for several months.However even after my gall bladder was removed the pain attacks continued, and an endoscopy was done when they found i had a active h pylori bacterial infection, lax hiatus and a shortened deodenum.  I couldnt eat anything except bland rice and dal or toast.  Anything else would give me severe cramps in the upper stomach, a bloated feeling and sensation of nausea.  Now I am much better and I eat normal food, except for non vegetarian and alcohol.  i was told not to touch alcohol and red meat for the rest of my life.  Please advise.
