After surgical removal of an infected gallbladder, a person must be especially careful to restrict dietary intake of . . .
A
starch
B
protein
C
sugar
D
fat
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When a gall bladder is removed the bile directly enters the intestine when produced. Eating fat food could increase its production. Bile acts as a natural laxative. Hence its best to reduce fat containing food.

Detailed explanation-2: -Despite there is no standard diet that people should follow after gallbladder removal surgery, it is best to limit fatty and greasy foods. An excess fat can potentially cause fat indigestion manifested by dyspepsia, bloating and diarrhea, especially a few months after surgery.

Detailed explanation-3: -A cholecystectomy is most commonly performed by inserting a tiny video camera and special surgical tools through four small incisions to see inside your abdomen and remove the gallbladder. Doctors call this a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In some cases, one large incision may be used to remove the gallbladder.

Detailed explanation-4: -Can you tell which kind of food items would they be and why? Answer: Those foods will be fats because bile juice present in the gall bladder help in the digestion of fat. Removal of gall bladder makes it hard to digest the fat.

Detailed explanation-5: -The gallbladder releases the bile juice into the small intestine whenever food reaches there. Though bile juice is devoid of any digestive enzymes, it is required for the digestion of fats. The fats cannot be digested easily because they are insoluble in water and are present as large globules.
