This is the most helpful site ever- not only to know we are not alone and not crazy(!) but to relate possible causes and solutions. At age 50 my gallbladder was removed- 6 years later this huge tummy will not shrink no matter that I exercise 5 times a week and eat extremely healthy. 20 extra pounds around my middle will not go away. I’m reminded of my grandfather who had a huge gut relative to his small frame- yep, his gallbladder was removed in his 50’s too. So I have read through this entire thread and researched every hint, trick, link, and tip and this is what I have discovered and am trying for myself… good luck with this truly horrid byproduct of cholecystectomy none of us were warned of- a gut with greatly increased girth from greatly diminished digestive capability.
Ox bile and beet root
Low carb low sugar diet
Antibacterial agents like berberine, turmeric, garlic & ginger
Apple cider vinegar, blueberries
Vitamin D
The 3 gut beneficial probiotics associated with weight LOSS recently are Lactobacillus’s 3: gassiri, plantarum, and rhamnosus
(The 4 recently associated with weight GAIN- Lactobacillus’s 4: acidophilus, fermentum, ingluviei, and reuters)
