Food is mixed with hydrochloric acid in the stomach. When it leaves the stomach it triggers the gall bladder to empty the digestive secretions from the liver and pancreas. The gall bladder merely stores and concentrates bile sent to it by the liver and empties it into the duodenum in response to a hormone called cholecystokinink secreted whenever fatty food leaves the stomach. When the gall bladder is taken out the digestive secretions go directly from the liver and pancreas into the duodemum. The pancreas produces sodium bicarb and digestive enzymes. Supplying enzymes will only make these glands lazier.
The proper treatment is to restore the function of these digestive organs. This may be done by homeopathy.
