Digestion of Fats Without a Gallbladder

from Diet Science · host Dee and Michael McCaffrey

Each year, about half a million people have their gallbladder removed--a surgery known as a cholecystectomy. You can live without a gallbladder, but digestion of the fats in your diet becomes impaired, ultimately leading to deficiencies of essential fatty acids and certain vitamins. Listen in this week as Dee discusses the role of bile in fat digestion, and how to ensure you get enough if you've had your gallbladder removed.Link to Bile Salt Supplement https://amzn.to/3LV2r29
