You’ve probably heard it before: “You can live without a gallbladder.” And yes, you can. But the real question is, how well?
The gallbladder might be small, but it plays a massive role in digestion and detoxification. Its job? To store and release concentrated bile, a powerful digestive fluid that helps your body break down fats into absorbable molecules. And those fats? They carry essential nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K, which your body cannot live without.
Think of bile as your body’s natural detergent. Without it, it’s like trying to wash an oily pan with water alone. You end up greasy, sticky, and far from clean. Now imagine that inside your gut.
So what happens when you lose your gallbladder? There’s no storage tank. No backup bile reserve. Just a slow drip from the liver, whether fat is present or not. That means poor fat digestion, nutrient malabsorption, and for many people, urgent, unpredictable bowel movements (or constipation and backup in others). You might feel bloated, drained, dry-skinned, foggy, moody, or constantly hungry, even if you’re eating well.
Here’s the truth most people don’t hear post-surgery:
If you don’t have a gallbladder, you absolutely must support your digestion, especially when it comes to fat. That might mean digestive enzymes, bile salts, or Rojas Colon Hydrotherapy to help your body process what it no longer can on its own.
Because digestion isn’t just about avoiding discomfort.
It’s about turning food into fuel, into life.
And when we support digestion, we support every cell, every organ, every function in the body.
So if you’re living without a gallbladder (or any part of your digestive system), don’t settle for “getting by.”
Let’s help you thrive 💙
