		<description>Thank you for having this site.  I am having non stop attacks and am making a list of foods not to eat.  I have been hunting for a list of foods that I Can eat.  I am finding that breads of any type cause extreme gas pains then I am into a very painful gall bladder attack.  I am at a loss as to what to eat and afraid to eat anything.  Meatloaf worked for me with no reaction.  ;-)</description>

		<description>Hi, I was diagnosed with Gall Bladder problems in 1988. I still have my Gall bladder. My doctor advised me, learn what not to eat and keep your gall bladder, or keep eating what your doing and I will have to take it out. Fair comment. I learnt very very quickly what not to eat. 20 years and I have only had 3 or 4 attacks since.
I changed my diet to low fat, that is, skim milk, 97% fat free items (occasionally - I mean occasionally) and I still have good fats, such as olive oil - use sparingly to cook, advocado with salads or taco's - 1/4 only at any time.
My gall bladder does not work, if I go beyond this level of eating, then I get terrible gastric pains and loose bowels, not very nice.
I eat wholegrains, wholemeal, lots of fruit, vegetables, salad. Basmati or Doongara rice, pasta or noodles with each meal. 
I have been diagnosed as diabetic (type 2), I am diet controlled and must that what has been said before above, you really do lose the craving for junk food and takeaways.
I eat only small amounts of meat, chicken or fish, less than 1/2 palm size at any meal. Lots of vegs, salad. I find Rye Bread great for my diabetes at lunch time.
You can control your fate of your gall bladder, remember the motto "you ARE what you eat" it is so true.</description>

		<description>Hello, I've had numerous amounts of test done and after having a Hida scan done found out that my gallbladder was not functioning properly. The surgeon that I spoke with advised me that it was bad enough to where I had to get it removed if I didnt want too. But I have really bad nausea, not so much as pain. I didnt hear anyone talking about nausea? Will the diet help with that. Right now I been taking pheneragan as needed, and I do still have my gallbladder. Please help</description>

		<description>I was told to have my gall bladder out and that was over 12 years ago.  Cutting out fat isn't really the answer, well it wasn't for me.  I found that sugar was actually the trigger, I had the most painful attacks after parties, etc when I had a lot of sweets and soft drinks.  I eat a lot of coconut oil and good saturated fats and it's never caused me a problem.  I found the explanation of why you get gall stones on the Weston Price Foundation website made a lot of sense to me.  I got the gallstones after I lost a lot of weight quickly by using a very low fat diet.  Try what Sally Fallon suggested at the beginning of this thread.  It may just work for you.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the advice everyone, i will try cutting out on the foods that i know have caused the problem, which will be almost impossible, And yes Julie kids and stress do come hand in hand especially when you have a 2 year old and a 3 month old.  So thanks again for all the advice.</description>

		<description>Hi Mimi,
Yes, I agree with Julie that it's best to have smaller meals, think how nice it will be to get back into that prom dress.  

The diet of the United States is laughed at all over the world, start to turn iit around, revolutions are started with one person, look at Ghandi, he got the evil British out of India after hundreds of years, John Lennon stopped the VietNam war with his peace movement, Ralph Nader gave people consumer rights for the first time in the history of the US.

Keep away from Big Muks, Kentucky Fried Cruelty, Taco Billious, Starschmucks etc etc, get into some real food instead.  No more white flour, no more white rice, no more white pasta, if you go to a restaurant that doesn't have wholemeal pasta on the menu, take some with you and discretely ask the chef to use it for you instead.  Grow some sprouts at home, mung beans are extremely cheap and tasty, you can grow them very easily and they are packed with goodness.  Google "growing sprouts at home".

Here's a secret, like a bad haircut, which only takes a week to get used to and then it looks OK, it's the same with food, after a week or two, you won't miss all the other junk and gunk food, you will start to get a required taste for the healthier stuff and your palate taste buds will adjust to the new flavors.

Oh, also, go easy on the spices, no need to cut them out, but don't over do it.  Don't worry, it's not boring, I actually appreciate my food much more than when I used to eat junk food. I can really taste the subtleties now.   In fact, I don't even need rich sauces to disguise the blandness, as the food has so much natural flavor in it.

Don't believe the US orthodox medical fraternity, they have all been trained to think "cut and dice and throw away", rather than cure and prevention in the first place.  Go to naturopaths for second opinions, not another doctor.  Doctors have been brainwashed by drug companies, they have in many cases even been bought by them.  

Remember, that everything you read in the mainstream media in the US is spin, don't believe anything you read or hear until you have done your own research, the spin doctors are paid to brainwash you, and they get paid good money, because they spent years at Harvard learning how your mind ticks, so that they could better manipulate you.  And it works, that's why these people are paid huge amounts of money, because it works.  One of the biggest employers of spin doctors is the meat and dairy industries, also the AMA, be very careful what you believe before getting, not just a second opinion, but an alternative opinion.

For example, if you wanted to get a different opinion on the Republican party platform, you wouldn't ask a Republican and then go and ask another Republican, you would ask a Democrat and then weigh the two sides up.  If you were really smart, you would get 4 or even 5 alternative opinions, very easy to do with the internet these days.


Let us know how you get on Mimi.</description>

		<description>Hi Mimi, 
I know it is hard to not think "just cut it out of me " while having an attack but you will be better to try the food experiment first. I found dropping all the bad food (the normal ones know to cause attack) for a couple of weeks then introducing one at a time slowly and in small amounts, you will soon find if it will affect you. My mother found a simple veg like cabbage was a trigger for her, I was fine with it she also could not eat peas after she had the op. 
It has been 25 years since I had the op and now am back at the doctors with the same pain, without the gallbladder bile will go straight to the stomach and cause the same pain all over again, so my love of curry and satay are out the window again. 
Try the blander food and no dairy. Oh I also found that having very small meals or rather than the 3 meal a day system ....have smaller amounts spread out through the day helped. 
It can be all trial and error for a while but hope you have success fast with diet. One other thing and this could be the almost impossible (was for me) stress less, hard to do with a young baby, please don't swear at me for that one ...young babies and stress seem to come hand in hand. 
Good luck Mimi, hope all goes well</description>

		<description>Hi Mimi,

All I can say from my point of view is to experiment with your food intake, cut down on saturated fats, like, dairy, cream, cheese, milk, also fatty meat and fish, and especially coconut milk, it's full of it.  

I think Julie's advice to not cut it out atogether is good, as you need some saturated fat, not much, but try to give it all the flick for a week or so to give the gall bladder a rest.  

Oh, also cut out butter, white flour and sugar.  It's worth it, beleive me, you'll feel a lot better for it.

That's the best I can offer, since I cut these things out and added them back in very small quantities, I've had no more attacks for over two years.  

I wish you good luck Mimi.</description>
