Diarrhea - after breaking fast

hi - im usually 18-20h fasting and when I eat first meal it usually end up with diarrhea after 20-30 minutes I’ts yellow so I guess it’s bile that after I eat starts to be produced in large amount? I also get a bit sleepy after first meal - blood sugar is fine 75-91 ~1 hour after eating) but I have insuline resistance diagnosed (that’s why I practice IF and lowcarb). Maybe add littl3e more salt? Apart from these symptoms I feel great, my apetite went down (is it normal right?) and my weight drops. I also don’t have galbladder. . TIA

Answer

Without a gallbladder you don’t have a place to store and concentrate bile to be released when you eat fatty foods. So now that bile is no longer concentrated and it drains into your small intestine. When you eat fatty foods, it acts like a laxative…leading to diarrhea. I had my gallbladder removed and have found that I feel much better if I don’t eat high fat meals. Refined sugar also makes me feel bad (you probably don’t eat that with low carb though).
