Gallstones & low carb

[Dollylolly]

I have been dx for them awaiting letter either to say camera or surgery.

I’m low carbing not Keto as I think the fat would cause problems.

I still avoid bread, pasta, rice, etc in all forms.

my question is has anyone done it before surgery and what of after?

I had gallstones a few years before diabetes diagnosis, had to avoid fat then as it set off symptoms seriously. Will probably depend on extent of your gallstones, whether lots of small ones or a big one. Unfortunately I increased carbs so I could eat enough and now I'm diabetic It is likely a tricky balance, Hopefully your scans will inform you and your health professionals best way forward.

what of after?

I've had no problems eating fatty meals after getting rid of the pesky gall bladder, I hope it will be the same for you!

I eat more fat post gall bladder removal then before. I did just gradually increase the fat content. I do eat quite a bit of fat.

As with @Antje77 once I had the gallbladder removed I could eat fat with no problems. Good luck with your investigations.

When my gall bladder was removed,many years ago, I didn't know that problems were caused by fat - and nobody mentioned it even then. So I just carried on but since starting lchf a couple of years ago, I have found the fats a bit too much, leading to nausea quite often. Still like loads of butter though and seem to get away with it most of the time.
