[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2282594, member: 355878"] As far as I can work out the vegan diet is the most difficult one to use for any sort of control as it is carbs, carbs and carbs - and the fats 'allowed' are from plants, obviously, so margarine and oils instead of lard tallow and butter - I can't see much benefit for a diabetic. Gallstones are thought to be formed when the gall bladder is not prompted to empty by there being fat in the diet. Once they do form they cause pain when fat is eaten as the gall bladder tries to contract, and the bile duct can be blocked. The vegan diet is not low fat of itself nor is a vegetarian one. In your situation I'd be eating something more normal for controlling the diabetes, but perhaps going back to three meals a day in order to spread the intake of fat throughout the day and making the need for bile (for digestion) smaller doses at any one time. That way you can - hopefully get away with gentle responses rather than gripping pains. I have read that lying down on one side, so that when the gall bladder does want to contract, the stones are away from the exit so there is less danger of the duct being blocked - but I don't know if it works, or if it is possible to time the right moment after eating for the food to be passing the gall bladder's exit.
