Gallbladder stones diet 

Gallstones are in the spectrum of gall bladder diseases which can obstruct the cystic duct leading to biliary colic. When gallstones remain in the duct and if they irritate the gall bladder it may lead to cholecystitis.

A basic guide may not be present for gallstones except for certain precautions to be taken if it occurs and what can be the remedies that can relieve the pain that occur due to stone formation.

Avoid fatty foods as it can lead to indigestion in person suffering from gall stones. Prefer simple and lighter meals in frequent forms instead of three larger portions. Prefer fats containing short chain or medium chain fatty acids like coconut oil, palm oil which is easily absorbable and doesn’t require the help of the bile for absorption.

Addition of turmeric daily can be useful in dissolving gall stones. Fruits like pear, apple and grapefruits if taken daily are helpful. Mix two third of virgin olive oil with one third of lemon juice. Sip the mixture slowly before going to bed. Next morning stones will be passed from the stools. Have Vitamin C rich foods like Indian gooseberry, guava, and tomato as it is helpful in gallstones. Drink plenty water as it is essential for normal functioning of bile. Avoid nonvegeteranian foods except for fishes as it contain high amount of omega 3 fatty acids. Prefer vegeteranian foods helps in reducing the cholesterol in the body. Avoid sugary foods, refined foods and alcohol to avoid aggravation of the disorder.
