Dietary
Low-Fat Diet
for Gallstones
Reducing dietary fat intake to minimise gallbladder contractions and prevent symptomatic attacks. Fat triggers gallbladder contraction which can cause pain when gallstones are present.
How it works
Dietary fat stimulates cholecystokinin release which triggers gallbladder contraction. Reducing fat reduces the frequency and intensity of contractions.
What to watch for
Does not dissolve existing gallstones. Very low fat diets paradoxically increase gallstone formation risk.
