Show Notes
For many patients recovering from gallbladder removal, the most basic necessity of life—water—becomes a source of intense physical distress and bloating. In this episode, Herman and Corn Poppleberry break down the complex physiological shifts that occur post-cholecystectomy, explaining how unregulated bile flow and gastric motility issues turn hydration into a burden. From the concept of "eating your water" to the psychological hurdles of conditioned pain, this discussion provides a comprehensive roadmap for anyone struggling to stay hydrated while navigating a sensitive digestive system.
