What can I eat with gallstones?

Just found out I have gallstones.. What can't/can I eat?

  • I just got home from the hospital and have to go back in 2 weeks for surgery. What can I eat? What can't I eat? Thank you

  • Answer:

    As far as I know gall "stone" is not "stone" - it isn't calcium. It's chunks of hard cholesterol which your body is trying to get rid of, but they get stuck in the duct. And I've heard from a couple sources now that you can treat this with Taurine - an amino acid. Among all the things Taurine does, it apparently keeps cholesterol in a liquid form. You might ask the doctor about this. I remember that taking Taurine was recommended for anybody losing weight by our Health Dept here - and this was to avoid gall "stone". Perhaps you could pick up some and try it - can't hurt. Take 2 grams a day for 3 or 4 days - and then take 3 grams a day thereafter. If you want to read about it - get "Vita-Nutrient Solution" by Dr. Atkins - you can get it used for about nothing on Amazon books. Atkins loved Taurine as a treatment for a wide range of things.

Foods to Avoid •The gallbladder is located in the upper right part of the abdomen and is about 3 to 4 inches in length and about 1-inch wide. The gallbladder's function is to store bile, which is a thick brown liquid produced by the liver. Many gallstones form when there is too much cholesterol in the bile. Many gallstones are also formed by a poor diet. Foods that cause gallstones are usually foods that are from animals. Avoid eating fast food, oily food and spicy foods. You also want to avoid red meat, eggs, milk, beans and nuts. Some vegetables are also not good, such as onions and corn.
