I was misdiagnosed with celiac disease for 6 years, but when I was 16 they did further testing & my gall bladder only works at 35%

My doctor said I need to eat a low-fat diet since I've been on keto for 2 years it has been a high fat diet but it's very difficult to change the way I'm eating so drastically

Whatever you do, don’t remove your gallbladder unless you have a life threatening issue!
