For healthy living you should follow a low-fat diet for gall bladder stones, as the amount of bile secreted from the gallbladder which is required to digest fat is compromised. A low fat diet will promote adequate rest for your gall bladder and avoid any kind of complications. Remember the following points for a gallbladder diet – - Weight loss is essential but should be achieved at a gradual pace.
- Include lots of whole unprocessed cereals and complex carbohydrate foods, pulses, sprouts, fresh fruits (preferably with skin) and vegetables for fiber in a day’s diet.
- Large meals especially during bed time should be avoided.
- Include milk and milk products but remember that they should be in double skimmed form, avoid carbonated beverages completely.
- Add ginger and turmeric to the diet while cooking as it will enhance bile flow.
- Choose low fat fish or chicken and lean meat with all fat removed in small amounts.
- Avoid red meat, organ meats, egg yolk, animal fat, processed and denatured food, pickles, oily, fried or greasy food, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, coffee and sugar as far as possible.
