Can I drink alcohol after my gall bladder is removed?

 Can I drink alcohol after my gall bladder is removed ?


Gallbladder has no direct role in digestion. It stores the bile which is required to initiate the fat digestion. Bile is formed in liver continuously and about 50% of it collects in gallbladder. If there is no gallbladder then bile go directly into intestines.

Alcohol is not metabolized in intestines. Its absorption starts from mouth and then stomach and then from intestines. It causes irritation of lining of all intestines stomach and mouth.

Alcohol is directly metabolized in liver into acetaldehyde, and then into acetate and finally into co2 and water. About 10% passes unchanged in urine, sweat and breath.

SIBO

After gallbladder removal amount of bad bacteria in small intestines increases and alcohol potentiates this. Patient may have bad digestion, gas formation, heaviness, bloating, distension, pain and constipation.

Cancer

It is seen that alcohol intake causes an increase in cancer formation of bile tract in prediabetics and diabetics. 


Problems appear after operation and continued intake of alcohol

Patient may complain of following conditions after gallbladder removal and continued alcohol intake-

*Alcohol intolerance

*Pancreas inflammation

*Migraines

*Allergic reactions

*Stomach pain

*Discomfort


Interactions of painkillers & antibiotics with alcohols


Painkillers ( Ibuprofen, Aspirin )and antibiotics ( Metrogyl, septran, and cephalosporins) may have interactions with alcohol so they should be avoided in post operative phase.

Take your decision wisely. Alcohol intake is not advised till painkiller and antibiotics are taken by the patient.

When all the drugs are stopped by the patient small amount can be taken with lots of water and non oily and spicy eats.

A last word quoted by me "As Dr Sarin even single drop of alcohol is poison for the body".

Happy recovery
