Hello After gallbladder removal (Cholecystectomy), the body’s natural bile flow becomes irregular. This imbalance leads to weakened Agni (digestive fire), Ama (toxins) accumulation, and Kapha–Pitta disturbance, resulting in bloating, heaviness, inflammation, and gradual weight gain. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

1 Trikatu Churna ¼ tsp with honey before lunch & dinner (Stimulates bile & digestion)

2 Arogyavardhini Vati 1 tablet twice daily after meals (Supports liver & bile metabolism)

3 Punarnavadi Guggulu 2 tablets twice daily after food (Reduces inflammation, swelling & fat accumulation)

4 Avipattikar Churna 1 tsp after meals with warm water (Controls acidity & clears bile excess)

Digestive tea (Jeera + Ajwain + Fennel) 1 cup after meals (Reduces bloating & helps fat digestion)

Regular use for 3 months helps to enhance digestion, reduce inflammation, and regulate metabolism after gallbladder removal.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅Include:

Light, warm, freshly cooked meals. Moong dal khichdi, lauki (bottle gourd), tori, pumpkin, carrots. Cook with digestive spices: cumin, turmeric, black pepper, ajwain, hing. Use small quantities of ghee (improves fat digestion naturally). Warm water or herbal teas between meals.

❌Avoid:

Fried, oily, spicy, or junk food. Heavy dairy (cheese, cream), red meat, and refined sugar. Cold water and cold salads — they slow digestion. Alcohol and carbonated drinks.

✅LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Start with warm water + lemon + pinch of black salt to awaken Agni.

Practice 30 mins exercise daily — especially Pavanmuktasana, Vajrasana, Bhujangasana, and Surya Namaskar.

Eat small portions, 3–4 times a day. Avoid long fasting.

Walk 10 minutes to aid bile movement.

Take light dinner (soup or khichdi) before 8 PM and Triphala before bed if constipated.

✅HOME REMEDIES

1. Lemon–Ginger Water: Squeeze ½ lemon + 1 inch fresh ginger in warm water; drink before meals to activate digestion.

2. Ajwain–Jeera Decoction: Boil 1 tsp ajwain + 1 tsp jeera in 2 cups water, reduce to 1 cup, sip after meals to relieve gas and heaviness.

3. Turmeric Milk (Golden Milk): At bedtime, ½ tsp turmeric in warm almond or cow’s milk reduces inflammation.

After gallbladder removal, the digestive system becomes delicate.

Ayurvedic management focuses on rekindling Agni, balancing bile flow, and reducing inflammation through herbs like Trikatu, Arogyavardhini, and Punarnavadi Guggul, along with a light, warm diet and consistent lifestyle.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Removing the gallbladder can disrupt digestion and lead to inflammation and weight issues due to imbalances in bile production and digestive fire. In Ayurveda, digestion (agni) is key to health, and with your gallbladder removed, attention to your agni’s function is vital. Let’s focus on supporting your digestion and reducing inflammation.

First, consider adjusting your diet to aid digestion and lower inflammation. Consume easily digestible foods such as cooked vegetables like zucchini, carrots, and spinach, rather than raw and fibrous vegetables that may tax your digestion. Opt for whole grains like rice and quinoa, which are gentle on the stomach. It’s wise to incorporate warm water into your daily routine, especially 15-30 minutes before meals, to help stimulate digestion.

Avoid heavy, oily, and fried foods, as well as red meat, which are difficult to digest and can exacerbate weight gain. Instead, include lean proteins like lentils and mung beans, which are sattvic (balancing) and lighter for digestion. Try using spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds in your cooking to support agni and reduce bloating. These spices help ease digestion by enhancing bile flow.

Regarding lifestyle, it would be beneficial to establish a regular eating schedule, with meals spaced evenly throughout the day to prevent digestive overload. Mindful eating without distractions enhances the body’s natural digestive processes. Regular mild exercise, such as yoga or walking, can aid metabolism and weight management, helping you to moderate weight gain.

Finally, assess your stress levels as they can exacerbate inflammation. Practices like meditation or pranayama (breathing exercises) can harmonize Vata (responsible for movement) and reduce stress, supporting overall digestion. Regularly practicing deep belly breathing can ease digestive discomfort.

If symptoms persist or worsen, seeking guidance from an Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare professional is important to ensure a treatment is appropriate and safe for your specific needs.

HELLO,

After gallbladder removal -ROLE OF GALLBLADDER= it stores and releases bile, which helps digest fats. Without it, bile flows continuously into the intestine, sometimes in smaller or unregulated amounts

-EFFECT ON DIGESTION= you may notice bloating, loose stools, fatty food intolerance, and abdominal discomfort

-INFLAMMATION AND WEIGHT GAIN= improper digestion leads to accumulation of Ama (toxins) , weak agni (digestive fire), and imbalance in vata and pitta doshas. This can slow metabolism and cause weight gain.

IN AYURVEDIC TERMS -VATA IMBALANCE= bloating, gas, irregular bowel movements -PITTA IMBALANCE= inflammation, burning sensation, loose stools -AMA ACCUMULATION= heaviness, lethargy , indigestion

TREATMENT GOALS -Improve digestion-> reduce bloating, discomfort, and fat intolerance -balance vata-pitta-> control inflammation, regulate bowel movements -reduce ama (toxins)-> remove digestive waste buildup -support weight management-> improve metabolism without stressing the system - strengthen liver and bile flow-> prevent complication -improve overall immunity and energy levels

5) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 2 moths =reduces water retention, inflammation, improves metabolism

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -wake up early, maintain regular sleep- avoid late nights -avoid stress, stress increases vata and pitta-> worsens digestio -gentle exercises= walking, yoga and stretching -avoid prolonged fasting, eat smaller, frequent meals -chew food thoroughly and eat in a calm environment
