Test: Eating lechon manok

My wife asked me yesterday what I wanted for lunch and I said lechon baboy.

Lechón is a pork dish, refers to a suckling pig that is roasted. The dish features a whole roasted pig cooked over charcoal.

But when she returned from the market, she only brought a lechon manok (roasted chicken cooked over charcoal).

So I asked where was the lechon baboy and she replied that there was no one selling lechon baboy. Maybe because it was sold out already as she went to the market around 11 noon.

She set aside some chicken parts with no skin for me. But I thought, “why not consider eating chicken with skin as a test?” – eating roasted chicken with skin having no gallbladder.

And so I ate a chicken wing with skin and a back part with skin. I even peeled off a skin portion of another chicken part. I really missed the chicken skin. For how many months of fasting and just looking on them. I tasted, felt, and savored the chicken skin again yesterday.

The test result: I had an upset stomach.

But I wondered what caused the upset stomach? Maybe the lechon manok or the burger with dairy products that I ate the other day.

The weekend became test days; saturday – eating cheese and dairy products and sunday – eating lechon manok

  1. on Aug 6, 2011 Hi, Marie My bloated stmacoh lasted less than a month. I ate cereals and oats that time and I think it helped those fiber-rich foods. I also had a soft diet and no fried foods no fatty foods.Btw, have you tried probiotics drinks? I took 2 bottles of Yakult everyday right after my gallbladder surgery for about a month. Then continued it to 1 bottle every after breakfast. For now, I have not drink it everyday. But there are a few times in a month because my stock in the fridge easily gets depleted as my son drinks it as well.[] patricia said on Aug 31, 2011 i had my gall bladder removed end of july 2011. Till now still feeling some discomfort below the right ribs. sometimes when you move up the right hand, you will feel something rubbing against the ribs (mine was on lapa surgery) and understand that for whole life there are four metal clips for the duct in our body ??Diet no problem. Most of the meals are of soft meals. Breakfast usually blend grape+green apple+cucumbe+pcs of dragon fruit+some protein abt 1litrs then after one hr will go for cip of milo with some organic biscuits.So far have yet to try any fast food , deep fried and oily food.[]

  2. Is this a food for no gallbladder?

    Can I include this in diet for person without gallbladder?

    I may include this in my food list for no gallbladder.

  3. After fasting for an extended period, eating foods heavily laden with fat will always give you an upset stomach — just because. As some people insist, we are supposed to be vegetarian. 🙂 I insist that I NEED dairy products!

    Glad you survived this horrible ordeal!

    Um, saw one of those poor little sucklings once — all blackened and sitting on a breakfast buffet table in a “fancy” restaurant. I was horrified and have never been back. Never will! Sorry, I just saw it as very bad taste for a high-class restaurant. I guess I’m just better off with the middle of the road places. I love pork, but not that way!

    Good wife! A+! Buy chicken! 🙂
