What Could Be The Reason For Allergic Reaction That Started After Removing Gallbladder?

i had my gallbladder removed about 6 weeks ago and i started with an allergic reaction immediately after surgery and i am still having symptoms of it now. did not have it prior to surgery. could it be from my gallbladder being removed and now the bile having to take a different process through my body or something different? I am seeing an allergist now due to the severity of the issue and on several different allergy medications and have to carry an eppipen with me because it got so bad in the beginning that i had to go to the er. Please help answer my questions as the doctors are still baffled by what is going on and any help would be appriciated.

Hello,
There is no connection between gall bladder removal and your allergic reactions.
Bile juice doesn't go for some other process after surgery as it simply goes to the intestines and it is more dilute.In normal circumstances this bile comes o gall bladder and gets concentrated and stored here.
As far as your allergy is concerned,it could be because of the medicines taken post operatively or something else,which requires investigation by your allergist.
Carry on with the treament and instructions of your allergist.
Thanks
