Gallbladder Trouble...help!

Hi,

I am 29 years old and for the past two nights I have had gallbladder attacks. The first night it started in my right side and went to my shoulder and the second night was just in the shoulder. I was wondering if I can alter my diet any to prevent future attacks? I have been searching on the internet and most places say meat and dairy are a no-no. A lot of sites just seem to be trying to sell some sort of supplement so I would grealt appriciate any suggestion on web sites or books to read. I really would like to avoid surgury and am hoping a diet change can help.

TIA,

Jill

Hi Jill - have your doctors recommended surgery? Do you have gallbladder disease or gb disease as well as gallstones?


A change in diet can make a huge difference - however - it's no guarantee that the GB won't eventually have to come out.
