Eating Cheese Sticks

Last year, I made a test – Eating cheese and dairy products. That was few months after my lap chole (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy) operation. Even without gallbladder, I ate a home-made burger with cheese, butter and mayonnaise and to test how my system would react to dairy products. And the outcome of the test – upset stomach, gas was formed and grumbled inside my stomach. Although it was not a system overload, but it was a warning.

And recently I ate cheese sticks. Cheese is one of the food to avoid for persons without gallbladder. And to note, I dipped it with mayonnaise.

It was a home-made cheese sticks. The cheese was was sliced, then placed, rolled, and wrapped in a Shanghai spring roll wrapper or the lumpia wrapper. Then it was deep fried until golden brown. And the result – a tasty, delicious cheese sticks.

But how well did my digestive system react to the cheese plus the mayonnaise?

I ate all the 6 cheese sticks because they were my share. So with 6 cheese sticks dipped in mayonnaise and a person with no gallbladder, what would you expect? An upset stomach? Passed or failed?

Oh, well – gladly there was no adverse reactions. My system took it normally; no upset stomach, no gas formation, no diarrhea – nothing.

So eating cheese sticks without gallbladder and dipping with mayonnaise? PASSED!

  2. Ken, I decided to fast track my tests!! If you don’t mind I’ll share:

    Me: 34, slim, 5’10, 155 pounds, reasonably good shape/fit. Unfortunately I have lost 10 pounds since I had pancreasitis in Feb.

    Had my gall bladder out about 4 weeks ago. I tested all the following within 2 weeks of the operation and have passed all the tests more than 2-3 times now:

    Hamburger, fries (loads!), onion rings, extra strong beer (about 10 bottles now!), steak, milk, chocolate, really greasy fried noodles, fried eggs/bacon/sausages, pasta, potato chips.

    I’ll keep checking on this website since it is a great site and great information for everyone with gall bladder/diet worries.

    Do you find you put on weight easier now or is it harder to put on weight? I always had a fast metabolism and am finding it very difficult to put weight on now.

    • Hi, Chris…

      How are you? It’s been a month.

      It’s fine with me. You can share your tests here. It’s good to know that you are having positive results on your tests as well.

      I haven’t gain weight, I also have a fast metabolism. This also bugs me even before I had my gallbladder removed. My weight is around 140lbs and I’m 5’6″.

  3. I had my GB removed years ago after having several GB attacks. I didn’t know that’s what they were until my Dr. found the gallstone. I still had the attacks but less frequently. One Dr. had me do a stress test eventhough I told him it felt like a GB attack. The stress test was good so he said if the attack lasted longer than 30 minutes I should go to the ER. I was pretty sure I wasn’t having a heart attack so when I had my attack last night, and scared my husband to death, I refused to go to the ER. I decided to look on the internet to see if anyone had side effects from having theor GB removed. I’m SO glad I found your site. And you have meds! I don’t have any issues usually but when an attack happens it’s like being in child birth only not as long. I’m taking copies of you blog to my NEW Dr. to see if he can help me. It’s so nice to know I’m not having a heart attack and I’m not crazy. Thanks so much and your at the top of my favorites list.

    • Hi, Maryanne…

      I had 1 attack after my operation and I got admitted to the hospital. It’s the same feeling as my previous attacks before the operation. The pain radiated to my back and it only subsided after a Nubain shot. My surgeon suspected that small stones may have dislodge to the biliary duct. And he suggested that I should undergo an ERCP to check and if there’s a presence of gallstone – remove it.

      Btw, does the pain radiates to your back because according to my doctors if the pain goes to the back, then it is a gallstone/gallbladder attack. But better ask your doctor. He may suggest you to undergo laboratory exam like complete blood test to see some abnormal data on the results.

      Hope you feel better.

  4. Same here…book marked…great site…keep the reports coming.

    I am having my gall bladder taken out tomorrow. I’ll go easy on the diet for 1 month then will start testing myself.

    I have met 10 people in real life who’ve had their GB’s out and they all can eat what they want now….all eat like pigs infact!

    • Hi, Chris…

      Yes, so should take a soft diet then gradually change and test the foods…

      Hoping for your fast recovery…

      God bless…

  5. Nice

    keep the reports coming. The foods you’ve tested previously, have you continued to eat/drink them? if yes, still the same results?
