Gallstones

I am awaiting operation for gall bladder removal. I have attacks of severe pain some nights and constant slight pain in right side. What food/drink should I avoid to relieve symptoms.

Re: Gallstones

Dear Sheila

It sounds as if you are intermittent suffering with some biliary colic type symptoms.
I would avoid fatty foods as this will reduce bile secretion which may help.
Hope your operation goes well.
