Stomach issues 10yrs after gallbladder removal

[theladylovescupcakes]

DH had his gallbladder removed approximately 10 years ago. This last while (and twice this week) he's felt so bad he's had to make himself sick, and feels rotten afterwards. I suppose it's coincided with a greasy meal - he had a beef stew, mealie, pigs in blankets, mash on the Sunday and was up vomiting in the night, and we had an Indian takeaway last night for his birthday and a croissant for breakfast today and was vomiting by lunch time. He does make himself sick, but it starts with stomach pain.

Has anyone else had this a while after gallbladder removal? We do generally have a healthy home cooked diet but he's not been following a low fat diet since he had his gallbladder removed, and hadn't really had any issues, until recently. Thanks for any input.

I had my gallbladder removed roughly 10 years ago as well. I don't have the issue of been sick but I do know when I have had too much fatty food as I get terrible stomach pains then diarrhea.
The gallbladders job is to produce bile for the liver to break down fat. I would image that his sickness is probably down to having too much fatty food.
Keep an eye on it and if he still feels sick/unwell after every meal it wouldn't hurt to talk to the doctor.

Thanks @Bedofwool, that's what I suspected. We followed a low fat diet prior to his op, so we'll just have to do it again. Will be good for me too!

I had mine out about 30 years ago, and only very recently have I begun to notice that if I have a very fatty meal I might have explosive diahorrea (sorry for TMI). No pain, though. I've wondered whether it was a gall bladder thing.
