[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2059373, member: 480869"] I’d second [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] that low carb doesn’t cause gallbladder issues, but that low fat does. However once you already have stones then eating fats can stir it all up. Low fat means the gallbladder isn’t used as much and bile sits there as sludge turning into stones. Fats cause contraction in the bladder to eject the bile. If there’s stones already in there they can get squashed and jammed against or in ducts etc causing the pain and possibly in bad cases infections etc. Sadly many drs seem to mistake an aggravation of symptoms as the cause of them. Low carb doesn’t have to mean eating a lot of fat, especially if you are wearing a decent supply. It may mean just not avoiding everyday fats. Eg ditch low fat milk, spreads and yogurt etc for full fat and have a little oil and butter for cooking. It might be worth one last, gentle fat, shot at this before a drastic program. Unless of course you feel something drastic is what you need. Good luck on the program if you do go that way but make sure there’s a plan in place for what comes next as this is just a starting a point not the lifelong continuation [/QUOTE]
