I have skimmed some older posts, but I was curious how many others were in the same boat.
My original run with Atkins had a loss of 50 pounds. Loved it and never left induction even at the year mark. I liked what I ate and never felt without. After about a year I begin to have nausea and vomiting daily and regrettably it took them a year to figure out my gallbladder was not functioning. Diet went to heck and you ate as much as you could any time you could keep it down. So out that evil gallbladder came.
For those without a gb, you know what happens next. Almost anything you eat ESPECIALLY fats causes a quick visit, revisit, and visit again to the facilities. For those not aware, you can eat a few bites and immediately need a visit. After 3-4 years it is somewhat better but still hit and miss.
Ok, to now. The first few days back on Atkins were interesting, but after that it seems to me that in the last two weeks it has virtually cleared up completely.
It is incredibly odd to me that eating a high fat diet does not cause gallbladder-less people to die but instead seems to actually cure the problem for the most part. It may be that the potential constipating nature of the diet (if you do not eat all your veggies) could be balancing things out.
So I guess the question is how many have noticed a similar "cure" or possibly had a negative reaction to it.
