Can Gallstone Be Treated Naturally?

I have one mobile 10mm gallstone. No pain or issues. It has develop over the past 16 months (it wasn t there in a previous scan). No signs of thickening of the gallbladder wall, no bile duct abnormalities. Pancreas normal for what they could see. Can a gallstone dissolve by itself again - or how can I optimize the happiness of my gallbladder? Will this cause me certain problems in the future or is it possible that I will never get any symptoms. I d rather not have it there, but I guess there is not much I can do :) I don t want my gallbladder out (it s common surgery in the family though). I ve heard of alternative ways (more holistic view).

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, there are no proven natural remedies for dissolution of gall stones. But there are certain measures through which you can avoid nausea, vomiting and abdomen pain attacks of gall stones like:
- Eat small, frequent feeds
- Chew your food thoroughly
- Consume easily digestible food stuffs
- Avoid all spices, dairy fat, non veg, junk items
- Do not over eat or over fast
- Do not sleep for 2 hours period after lunch or dinner
- Control of body weight, blood sugar and cholesterol
- Avoid smoking and alcohol if consuming
- Intake of proton pump inhibitor as and when required for burps
- Keep bowel evacuations smooth with high fiber diet and if required bulk forming laxatives as Ispaghula or Psyllium

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
