I did a reckless thing. I ate a breakfast sandwich today, + later had tuna salad, crackers (both off limits). I miss eating my favorite foods so fiercely, I feel like a fish flapping on a deck, tormented by cravings + hunger. Paying the price now w/pain. #shortbowel #gallbladder

I haven’t shared this, but the cause of my recent setback is due to a β€œdiseased/ dysfunctional gallbladder+ liver”, a consequence of #shortbowel. I can no longer eat fatty foods - a key to my enjoyment of life, + ability to gain/maintain wt. Down 15lbs, lost my reason for being.

After this news on Monday I was more stunned than anything - I had been counting on there being an alternative px that could dissolve gallbladder sludge/gallstones. One that didn’t give me severe abdominal cramps, and unrelenting d (felt like a 9 day bowel prep😳). Nope. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ˜”

Reading your tweets I realize you know I have a very similar condition and at one point they wanted to take it out completely but it was too risky for me. I did a liver & gallbladder cleanse and good nutrition. Gastroenterologist didn't believe it despite the fact all was normal
