Hello,

  • Avoid fatty or fried foods and red meat. On salads, substitute commercial dressings with vinegar and olive oil.
  • Instead of large meals, eat small amounts of food during the day, and especially avoid any large meals at bedtime.
  • Avoid carbonated drinks, which can trigger the movement of the stones causing even more pain.
  • Don't go on binge and purge diets. Slow, steady weight loss or maintaining a healthy body mass index to begin with is the best for every organ in your body including your gall bladder.
