My own gallbladder experience.
There are three types of gallbladder attacks.
1. Gallbladder is over used. In. This case lay off fats, dairy and veggies. Let it rest a day or so.
2. Gallbladder is full of bile causing it to have spasms. In this case they need to get the bile moving. A salad of iceburg lettuce, cabbage and carrots will do the trick. Milk, ice cream or in an emergency chocolate. I keep bite size Snickers hidden they have many times stopped an attack but I have to eat a salad at least twice a week to keep the bile moving. Bile that stays stagnant can become infected. It can feel like a tennis ball under the rib cage when it's too full.
3. Gallbladder throws out gallstones. This attack hurts bad. it's one of the most excruciating pains there is. Some women have said it just as bad as labor. I usually wind up vomiting from the pain which in my case dislodges the stone. It happens at random. Nothing you can do other than prescription meds or surgery to stop stones.
My triggers are too much hamburger like a quarter pounder. No one needs that much burger at one time. Eat normal size. Too much liquid drank at one time has been known to throw a stone. Usually tea for me or soda. I'm talking like 44oz cup. I can't eat eggs for breakfast, hamburgers for lunch and salad for dinner. I have to pick and choose my fats for the day.
I've had gallbladder issues since 1999 so I'm well familiar with all three. If they can have surgery and afford it then that's the best option. Do know you can wind up with dump syndrome. So weigh the pros and cons. Most get it out and have no issues at all but some spend the rest of their life camped by the bathroom. There are meds you can take that dissolves Stones but most doctors won't go this route believe me I know. None of that natural flushes out there work. It's pure fiction.
Fasting and dieting are no no when dealing with your gallbladder. Consistency is key here. Fat moves bile and so does certain veggies.
