Arm Pain And Gallstones. Take Fat Free Diet?
I am 63 and I have gallstones, I have started noticing upper arm pain and upper leg pain mostly at night, plus I have a hard time bending over. I work a part time job that requires some lifting at times and the next day i have pain. I have lost over 50 pounds on a very low or almost fat free diet to help my gallbladder problem. Any ideas?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
there is diet for people with gallbaldder and liver problems but the best solution would be surgery since this is permanent treatment. everything else is not so efficient so you may have problem with it in future. in every case you need to eat less fats, avoid coffee and alcohol, avoid overeating and drink plenty of fluids.
Wish you good health. Regards
