Hi all
I am scheduled to get my gallbladder out very soon. I have been suffering with it since the start of the year.
Incidentally I have also lot nearly 50% of my hair in that time. I am on ozempic off label for weight loss for the last year, I have lost 2.5 stone very slowly so possibly could be linked but gallbladder issues started in late December and hair started to fall out in January. Was thinking it was due to poor absorption of nutrients due to gallbladder.
My questions are
Has anybody noticed hair loss with gallbladder issues
Has anybody with their gallbladder removed managed to source good quality Ox Bile in Ireland, seems to be freely available in American and England but hard to find high strength doses here. I can see it contained in Solgar Digestive Enzymes around 130mg
Have you been supplementing with fat soluble vitamins to make sure you do no get deficient
Or am I reading too much into all of this and you will be able to have a fillet steak and red wine again. (right now I can't the last one ended me up in A&E with a blockage)
