Diet to prevent attacks from gallstones
by keezia, Nov 30, 2001 12:00AM
I am a 46 yr. old female and was diagnosed with gall and kidney stones. It will take 6 months to see a specialist. In the meantime I would like to know the type of food to eat or avoid in order to not get attacks. I know fatty foods but what are fatty beside the basic? Does a person have to get their gall bladder out? From FAQ it seems even then stones can return.
From the info I read on kidney stones, they can be painful and to drink lots of water. Get them broken up with sonic waves? Any help greatly appreciated.

this is just what I could and could not eat. Everyone is different but hope this gives you an idea. Oh! I cut all the fat off my meat before I cook it and I had no problems with butter or margarine. No spicy food!
