What Foods to Normalize Stomach

I don't think that weight loss is necessarily a side affect of GB disease. I lost some weight when mine went bad, but that's because I stopped eating when I was feeling sick. I eventually managed to gain it back when I learned to eat when I wasn't feeling sick. Doesn't sound like that's an option for you, though.

Personally, I think fiber is overrated, but that's probably because I'm the only known person on the planet to get WORSE constipated after taking fiber pills. I tried upping my soluable fiber content and lessening my insoluable fiber content when I first had problems back in the summer, but it didn't do me any good.

I have heard that a low-carb diet helps some people with IBS/IBD, I think mainly because sugars fuel bad bacteria. At the very least you might try going off sugars and starchy foods. Protein is difficult to break down, so you might want to try cutting back on it if not cutting it out. I found right after I had my gall bladder out that chicken was tolerable for me, but pork and beef were much harder to digest and worse on my guts, so if you only cut out some of your meats, get rid of those two first. Also, don't eat any raw vegetables or fruits. You may not be able to tolerate some things even when they are cooked, but cooked foods are more easily digestible.

You might want to try and see if you can tolerate high fat stuff like nuts, olive oil, butter and whole milk. Some IBSers can't handle the fat, but I'm alright once I get adjusted to it at a certain level. If it doesn't make you worse, go for eating more fat just because you need to cut back on the weight loss. Fat doesn't make you fat, but it can help you feel more full, and I'm sure you eat so little that you feel hungry a lot, and fat, in conjunction with the other food groups, can help you better maintain your weight.
