I know these are caused by gall stones.Looks like I have three options,1) eat better, and hope I don’t have any more attacks2) have my gall bladder removed3) “flush” my gallbladder with some of these natural remedies.Do these natural remedies really work, or do they just want my money?

What should you eat and what should you not eat if you have gall stones?

Q: I found out i have gall stones. There are so many web sites that say different things concerning a diet for the problem. I need help on figuring out what to avoid and what not to avoid.

There’s a good gall bladder diet here:http://www.gallbladderattack.com/gallbladderdiet.shtmlIf you start having regular gall bladder attacks (feels like heart attack, but occurs just under the right rib cage and extends to the right side of the spine) get medical help immediately; it is a serious condition. Ask your surgeon if he can do minimally invasive surgery (Laparoscopic cholecystectomy), as you will heal faster and there is much less trauma to the body.
