Gall Bladder issues.

Apple cider vinegar good straight
1 swig a day

This bloating gas is not inside the stomach n intestines which is easily sorted with fart tablets etc .. its the residue c02 from my surgery actually in the abdomen.

Noos ... On the rocks ??

I will try diluted before going on the hard stuff..

I have heard good things about the remedy.

You should try 1 cup of APPLE CIDER vinegar with a tablespoon of water for a few days.

If that doesn't work, try reversing the quantities.

Very helpful Mr Splat .. thanks

Foods to stop abdominal bloating.....

Try Anti-Bloating Foods and Drinks. A few studies suggest that peppermint tea, ginger, pineapple, parsley, and yogurts containing probiotics ("good" bacteria) may help reduce bloating.
(webmd)

Also try Lactose free milk and bananas.

Thanks Zid .. im taking peppermint oil tabs and eating pineapple , yogs and bananas so im on the right track...and farting like a trooper.

Doc did say this C02 can take from 3 days to 1 month to be absorbed out of the abdomen ..im just trying to speed it up in time for my next marathon.

1 swig a day

Straight apple cider vinegar is harsh on teeth as it is very acidic. Best rinse your mouth out if you're drinking it neat. I tried it for a spell and found the best mixer was the local brand tomato juices as they have added sweeteners. If you're not a complete novice, a splash (or five) of vodka is also a good mixer. When my apple cider vinegar ran out, I never bothered buying it again but stuck with the Bloody Marys.

Neat apple cider vinegar tastes blooming awful ... gonna try n mix it with a fruit juice of some kind to use it up.

Im guessing its no good on fish n chips either.

Gonna try Lime juice im told that has the same effect as ACV but i know i like that .. a nice hot cuppa lime tea.

Feeling better by the day .. back to my chiseled athletic best very soon.

Homemade iced lime green tea rocks.
I sweeten it with a couple of spoons of honey to take the edge off.

I noticed Global are selling “glass kettles” the other week (I’m guessing other outlets are available too) so I don’t even have to squeeze the limes any more. Just wash, then slice straight into the bottle & let them infuse. I bought another one on the back of this success so there’s always one chilled in the fridge

A spoonful of gravy granules may help. They brown & thicken

Thanks mak ... i am trying to not use meds only natural products/foods that can assist with the aftermath of no GB and more so the bile it produces thats key from plate to porcelain.

Worth keeping in mind this is a side effect of many surgeries not only the one i have recently had done.

Once you get rid of the log and you are able to sit down again after your ring has repaired its self, you might find that carrying something like Antacil or other anti acid tablets to counter the indigestion that will be the result of your stomach acid not being diluted with the GB bile. Affects some people more than others but can spoil a good night out if it hits hard.
Know what you are going through, we used to have competitions on whose post op/exercise (after being on field rations, compo, for long periods) log was the biggest. Two categories,
a/ Longest unbroken
b/ Biggest diameter.
Nobody wanted the biggest diameter prize for obvious reasons.
Good luck when it finally happens. Personally I found drinking copious amounts of Pernod or other form of aniseed drink helped to lubricate but getting a well lubricated digit well up helps as well. Could be your own or a 'close friends'.

I was prescribed Omeprazole 20mg when I was diagnosed with an unrepairable hiatus hernia causing nighttime reflux.
I then had a major op & was told to take one everyday but I thought that a bit excessive so take as & when which works perfectly well.
They’re great & fast acting. Prescription only in the uk but available over the counter in pharmacies here. There’s a couple of brand names, some more expensive than others but if the ingredients say omeprazole 20mg I go for the non brand cheap ones

Alex n Niggly .. i too used to suffer with acid reflux but now not so ... whether this is due to my recent GB removal or the fact im on a healthy eating regime cutting out spicy fatty foods and booze time will tell ... i will get the answer next time i try a glass of the amber nectar .. which IN MODERATION is fine according to the doc .. fatty fried foods , cheese , creamy desserts etc are staying off the menu indefinately... reflux is a huge issue for most here , i was told it goes hand in hand with the Thai diet

Feeling a lot better this morning now my inside spaghetti woes have eased.

35 mins on the exercise bike last night Tam... 40 from Monday .. i ve found the time flies as i locate the bike so i can watch the tv whilst riding ... ch 24 Snooker last night.

Alex n Niggly .. i too used to suffer with acid reflux but now not so ...

Mine comes & goes but no noticeable reason why. I can go for months without a problem then have to take a tablet every day for a week.
I got quite good a predicting when it would happen in the uk, I’d have a tablet before going out for a ruby for instance.
I think stress, may play a part, I had a lot on back home. Here not so, my only worry is what I’m going to eat & when after I’ve fallen out of bed at any time I wish

This may be the case with me .. a reflux return if n when i have a curry / beer or other .. it seems there is a long list of issues that can arise from GB removal surgery.

In the past i took Miracid .. in a dark green box ..offered reflux relief but not a cure.
