[QUOTE="copilost, post: 2256111, member: 510611"] I don't know the answer to that! I suspect that low fat might increase your chances of developing gallstones (though have no science to back that up), once you've got them it seems reasonable to think that a change in diet might affect them, problem is how? It's possible introducing fat could cause them to shift about creating the kind of acute attack I had earlier this year after a few months on higher healthy fat. It might be a good thing to get them out but there's always the danger that they end up stuck somewhere and that can be very bad indeed. Personally I feel so much better on low carb I'm sticking with it and not going crazy on the fat. I'm definitely on the look out for any changes (more attacks, discomfort) in case I do develop problems. My appointment with the specialist is on hold due to COVID-19 so I don't know how bad/good my situation is or what I should be doing which is a little worrying. I believe the advice is to have the gallbladder removed if gallstones are present. In the meantime it will at least be interesting to see if there are any changes between my scan earlier this year and follow up whenever that happens. Before then any prolonged attacks will have me calling for help for sure. Having had three short attacks at least I have some idea what to expect and will hopefully know if things have gone south! All that said not much help for your wife, sorry! [/QUOTE]
