I have issues with gall bladder. I have undergone a surgery five years ago to and now I don't have a gall bladder as it was removed in the surgery. I eat slate pencils on daily basis. Is there any side effect of it to my health?

You might be having calcium and iron deficiency. So please check it and take medicines for that. Slate pencils are not food items. No one can assure you safety for that.
Next Steps
Take calcium , vitamin D and iron supplements.
