[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 809199, member: 160246"] Thanks for that link. Really interesting article and comments. It sounds like most people who have had their gall bladder removed are able to tolerate fats and do the LCHF diet, though it may take a little time to work up to it. He also shared that low fat diets encourage the development of gall stones, and high fat diets don't. Good news for those of us on the LCHF diet. :) [I][name removed], January 27, 2014 at 8:52 pm Thank you Dr. Eades for sharing this information. Your post is exactly what happened to my wife when she was in college. Extremely low fat and low calorie diet followed by gall stones a year later. This was ten years ago and we eat a low carb diet now. She is still a bit fat phobic and concerned that increasing fat in her diet might cause problems since she has no gall bladder. Would you consider this to be a concern for a patient? Thanks as always for sharing so much great information.
