Eating Too Hot & Spicy Food
The other day I brought a local Cebuano food – Paklay for my lunch. It looks yummy and this is one of my favorites.
The Paklay (tripe stew) that I brought was made of pork innards – tripe, liver and heart, pork skin, and bamboo shoot. It was sautéed and cooked with ginger and chilies. It also contains strips of green and red bell peppers, and carrots.
I thought it was not that hot and spicy and I’d be safe from eating too hot & spicy food without gallbladder.
My first few spoons was good and I felt the regular hot and spicy flavor of the Paklay. But during my second serving of rice, I slowly felt that it was very hot and spicy. My colleague even noticed as I often blow some air. As I continue eating, I felt the sweat on my forehead – this is my sign that I eat too hot and spicy food. I finished my meal with cold water.
Share your NO GALLBLADDER experience
Share your NO GALLBLADDER experience
I received some emails regarding their personal experiences without gallbladder and thought of letting other people share their own no gallbladder experiences on my blog.
So, I am opening my blog for those people like me that once had underwent a gallbladder surgery, either through Lap Chole (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy) or open surgery. But mine was a Lap Chole procedure, which left 3 marks. And only the 2 scars are visible because the other scar is located in the navel.
For those ladies and gents that no longer have gallbladder, feel free to share your experiences, tests, and tips on living a life without a gallbladder. What I know is that gallbladder stones or gallstones are most likely to occur in women but I do not have any statistical data for this. And those unattended gallstones will result to gallbladder removal.
