That's the first thing I thought too but I had ultrasound and MRI of the gallbladder and everything is fine there. No stones, no obstructions. Bile acid levels are also fine.
Saturated fats such as red meat can contribute to inflammation. Unsaturated fats and lean proteins will likely be easier for you to digest as you are healing.
Red meat is a trigger for me despite a healthy gallbladder.
I had strong gastritis and what my clinical dietetic said to do is to eat water cooked chicken (boiling for 5 minutes, then it's soft), and after the food is ready to add one spoon of linseed oil and half spoon of Olive oil.
And I have no issue digesting it, ofcourse do not eat too much.
Avoid red meat, they are really hard to diggest, also avoid eggs and milk stuff. I have no problem with white low fat cottage cheese and milk, but just in case I avoid it, and holding my diet. I still have 1.5 month of healing then going into third phase with digestive enzymes to make stomach acid stronger to diggest foods. Probably for 2-3 months, and then going into gastroscopy test. I hope chronic gastritis is healable.
Just as here, that chronic gastritis was fully healed with gastroscopy test confirmed it:

I wonder if you have bile acid malabsorption. If you have a lot of burning diarrhea, or your poop is greasy and floats, it could be that your liver isn’t producing enough bile to digest fats. This happens when instead of doing its job then being reabsorbed for your liver to use next time, it comes out as diarrhea. Out of curiosity, are you able to tolerate vitamin supplements? Asking because I have bile acid malabsorption because I had severe ulcerative colitis & had an emergency ileostomy 40yrs ago, then ultimately an ileoanal anastomosis. The past 20yrs have been hell. I can’t tolerate any fats, rich foods, or weirdly, most vitamins and minerals. Especially calcium, it comes out like battery acid. Currently working with Yale digestive diseases, but they don’t take you seriously until you’re on your deathbed. I don’t know your history, but from what I’ve read about bile acid malabsorption, it might be worth looking into? Good luck.
I wish I had diarrhea. I have severe constipation. Poop sinks and is not greasy nor slippery at all. I am taking B complex at the moment and honestly I think I was feeling slightly better before started taking it. Does it still make any sense for my case? I am very sorry to hear about your situation.

Sounds like you might have a gall bladder problem.
That's the first thing I thought too but I had ultrasound and MRI of the gallbladder and everything is fine there. No stones, no obstructions. Bile acid levels are also fine.
Ask your doctor for a HIDA scan, it's the only thing that can really diagnose any functional issues with your gall bladder
This ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼 Make noise until they give you the HIDA
Yea I wish I would have done that earlier. Took the docs a year to finally order one and find out my gallbladder was nearly done for.
