Gallstones are tiny, round substance that are formed in the gallbladder. Gallstones are formed when the bile that is stored in the gallbladder contains excess amounts of bilirubin (a waste product), cholesterol or bile salts. Excess of these substances turns the bile liquid into tiny pieces of stone-like substances. Since you have already got a medical opinion and your grandmother has been diagnosed with gallstones, it is advisable to continue with any medication that might be prescribed by the physician, as it is not possible to treat this problem with natural remedies alone. You can try out the following natural remedies, although there is no guarantee that they will work, especially in your grandmother's case. Be very careful while administrating these remedies to your grandmother, she should not develop any other complications because of this. These remedies should be able to at least ease her pain, if nothing else.
One the most tried and tested remedies for dissolving gallstones is the consumption of huge quantities of club soda. Club soda helps in dissolving the gallstones very effectively. Apple juice is another drink that is highly beneficial in taking care of gallstones. However, make sure the apple juice is freshly squeezed and not canned. Another fruit that works wonders with gallstones is pears. She can either eat these fruits (apples and pears) or else have their juices. Both ways will work just fine at dissolving gallstones.
Olive oil is another ingredient that you can try out.
