Wow Karen. That would be great if you could really start eating some of the foods you like but have been avoiding. That would make this whole gallbladder issue worth while, even tho it wasn't pleasant. I've never been tested as being allergic, but a couple of years ago I broke out into one big itch all over, after eating a crab cake topped with shrimp. I thought I would go insane with the itching and it took 10 Benadryl over the course of just over an hour for me to get relief. I haven't eaten any shellfish since, even tho I love seafood, but I'm scared to try it as I don't want to go thru that again.

Rest up and dream of all the things that maybe you'll be able to eat again!
