Problems With Gall Bladder. Taking Probiotic OTC Medicine. What Diet Should I Follow?
I am a female, 78, and have just developed problems with my gallbladder...... very uncomfortable. After eatting fried fish friday night and attack came on. Next day I had a rich filled doughnut and shortly after another attack! What foods should I avoid ? I've been eatting Greek yogurt for the probiotics which has helped emmensly, also taking probiotic OTC meds. That problem has been corrected. I have been drinking 3 cans of Ensure a day for the health benefits. What is causing these very uncomfortable attacks?

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
In gallbladder disease you should avoid foods high in refined carbohydrates and saturated fats. This would include:fried foods, high processed foods such as the donut, fatty red meat and whole milk dairy products.
The use of these foods likely provoked the attacks you experienced.
There are certain foods that are consider best to use in persons with gall bladder disease. This includes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, low fat foods.
I hope this helps

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
well,gallbladder attacks commonly dont have any trigger. it can start at any time without obvious cause. But usually some fat food or overeating can trigger attack especially if there are multiple stones in gallbladder. You should eat smaller amount of food but more frequently. avoid fatty and fried food,alcohol, cofee and carbonated drinks. If nothing is helpful you should consider cholecystectomy.
Wish you good health. Regards
