Eat high fiber, ZERO FAT (or as little as absolutely possible). Fruits, vegetables, rice, chicken, turkey, etc. No red meat or pork. As little dairy as possible.

Gallbladder problems do not usually torn into pancreatitis!  Not unless the gall bladder ruptures and then you would know about it because you would have a medical emergency on your hands.  To help ease the gallbladder pain cut down on all fats and spices.  Eat a bland diet and drink plenty of water.  Good luck with the surgery

Ginger in any form will ease nausea.  If you can eat it, candied ginger is the best.\n\nDid you tell your doctor about the problem with oily food?  If you didn't and the problem is more of a matter of pain than of feeling like you are going to throw up, point this out to your doctor.  That would be a good sign that you have a gallstone.  \n\nAlso, like the other person mentioned, add more fiber to your diet.  It doesn't even have to be nasty - orange peel (like in marmalade) and oatmeal are wonderful sources of fiber.  It could be IBS, and the first treatment for that is eating more fiber.  In this vein, yogurt and/or lactobacillus acidopholus may help as well.

The gallbladder stores bile, which is released when food containing fat enters the digestive tract, stimulating the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK). The bile emulsifies fats and neutralizes acids in partly digested food. After being stored in the gallbladder, the bile becomes more concentrated than when it left the liver, increasing its potency and intensifying its effect on fats.\n\nthis is the only link that I can locate on diabetic and gallbladder\n\nhttp://www.nel.edu/24_12/NEL241203A11_Kayacetin.htm

Have you hear of Pavlovs dog?\nInherrent response to stimulus- I work in ultrasound and the smell of coffee in some patients will make the gallbladder contract a little starting a digestive respose. Or maybe your just hungry?

There are some medications out there but ultimately you will probably have to have surgery.  Gall stone pain can sometimes mimic a heart attack.  Today the surgery for gall stones is much less evasive than it used to be.  Be sure to avoid fatty foods and change your diet as probably specified by your physician.  Gall stones are painful.  I have had my gall bladder removed.  I only have about a 1 inch scar.  Isn't modern medicine great!  lol  My thoughts are with you!

This definitely sounds like gallbladder disease to me.  See your primary care physician sooner rather than later and ask for an ultrasound to rule in or rule out gallbladder disease.  If it's gallbladder disease, waiting is not a good thing.\n\nIn the meantime, while you're waiting to see your doctor and/or for the ultrasound, go on a NO fat diet.  Also, eliminate all tomato and acidic foods.  This helped me to survive while awaiting gallbladder surgery.  If your symptoms all but disappear with the above diet, then it is even more likely that you have gallbladder disease.

Q. After having the gall bladder removed - what type of diet should a person be on?\n\nA. A normal diet. Special dieting is not required after the gall bladder is removed, unless a diet is necessary for other unrelated problems such as diabetes.\nQ. 1. What effects will the absence of a gall bladder have on her? (such as digestive processes, susceptibility to viruses, etc..)\n\nA. None. She won't miss her gall bladder. Yes, the gall bladder has the function of storing and concentrating bile - but that's gone once stones have formed. Removing the gall bladder will relieve her of her symptoms.\n\nQ. 2. Will she be able to eat "fatty foods" without pain after the removal of her gall bladder?\n\nA .Yes\n\nQ. 3. How will the bile be transferred to her stomach without the gall bladder?\n\nA. There is a main bile tube that carries bile from the liver to the intestine. The gall bladder is a branch from this tube, and removing it does not stop the flow of bile - just like removing a parking area by the side of a road will not affect the flow of traffic on the road.

I gave my husband a "Gallbladder Flush" a couple of months ago...and he has not had another attack since....\nYou need 1 liter of pure virgin olive oil, lemon juice, V-8 or pineapple juice.\n\nWhat to do:  Fast for at least 12-24 hours before the flush,( also it is best to do the flush when you don't have anywhere to be for a couple of days.)  Drink 1/4 cup of olive oil followed by 2 Tbs. of lemon juice.  Do that every 15 minutes until all the olive oil is gone.  If you feel sick at your stomach, drink a very small amount of V-8 or Pineapple juice, then continue as soon as you can.  When it is all gone, just lay down on your right side and just wait.  He had results in about 3 hours, but sometimes can take longer.\nHe had to go to the bathroom alot, and felt bad at the time, but he did pass alot of bile and gallstones.  His doctor said it was perfectly safe to do this, and he had not had any problems since.\nGood Luck

There are not really any restrictions, but you should really watch foods high in fat.  The gall bladder releases bile that helps to break down fatty foods, so when it is no longer there, these fatty foods are not able to digest as easily, and it could cause indigestion and/or stomach pain.

1. Diet – Do not consume fatty products (such as ice cream, fatty sweets, fast food pizza) There was a report recently that French fries are very bad for your body as they contain large amounts of saturated fats. If you think you are craving to eat something sweet, eat fruits. Also eat a lot of vegetables. If you need to eat meat, eat fish (not chicken, crab). Fish has oils (HDL) which lower blood cholesterol levels and therefore is good for you. Cook food in canola or olive oil. As these are polyunsaturated oils, they help lower cholesterol levels. Consult a dietician for an individualized diet advice.\n2. Exercise – Exercise regularly. Join a weight reduction programme at a hospital also and very religiously attend it. Furthermore, reducing abdominal fat significantly lowers your risk of disease in the future (so do 50 proper sit-ups everyday).\n3. Medicine -The lipid (fat) lowering drugs if prescribed need to be taken apropriately. If you have forgotten what the dose was, consult a doctor and have a cholesterol check periodically. These lipid (fat) lowering drugs are only known to work with dietary changes. They are very effective and are known to reduce mortality by 30-40%, and therefore it is very worth while taking them properly.\n4. The website of British heart foundation may give more valuable tips. http://www.heartstats.org/homepage.asp copy\n5. Have regular health check ups, depending on what your doctor says. Prevention is always better than a cure.

I just had my gall bladder removed 5 days ago, after my first gall bladder attack and discovery of inflammation and gall stones.  My surgeon put me on a low fat diet while in the hospital and recommended that I stay on the low fat diet for at least the first week after I am released from the hospital.  \n\nI specifically asked about beef, as I have been told by many that they can no longer eat beef after gall bladder removal.  I was told I should be able to eat beef, but not for the first week.  I was also told that I can enjoy my shrimp, but as butter is the main ingredient in shrimp scampi, dining at Red Lobster is out for a while.\n\nAs for those who have issues with eating at Subway after this surgery, they are probably not staying within the guidelines of a low fat diet, when making their sandwich choice.  There are 4 sandwiches that come to mind immediately that should be avoided because of the fat grams.  Stay away from the Meatball Marinara, the Cold Cut Combo, the Tuna and the Seafood Sensation.  Those 4 are higher in fat grams than other choices available.  There are now 8 sandwiches that have under six grams of fat, when you choose a six-inch portion, and avoid the cheese, mayonnaise, olives and olive oil.\n\nAlso, there are many different flavors of Baked Lays that have been offered at Subway for quite some time.  So a person can have a decent lunch or dinner there, and should not have any complications from eating, if they watch the fat grams.\n\nAll QSRs (Quick Service Restaurants) should have a nutritional guide available either online, or at the location to assist people with making their dining choices.\n\nI didn't eat too much from the burger places prior to my surgery and I don't plan on doing that now.\n\nThe most difficult thing for me to either cut back on, or give up, will be cheese.  However, a month ago, I listened to a guest host on Rush Limbaugh explain why the French are not as overweight as we are.  When you combine fruit and cheese, the two interact differently and fewer calories are stored as body fat.  So the French with their wine and cheese, are actually on to something healthy.  That fruit plate with cottage cheese isn't looking quite so bad any more, and it satisfies my cravings for cheese.\n\nI know my answer is lengthy, but I am trying to be informed, and help inform others who are traveling down the same road that I am.

I had my gallbladder removed when I was 15 and I am now 26. At the time of my surgery, they did not tell me what I was in for. I sure wish I had the darn thing back. I had an upset stomach after only a few bites of food and was running to the bathroom every 10 minutes. The doctor told me to stay away from spicy and really fatty foods, but I have found that most of the time I get sick no matter what type of food I eat. What I have found is that if you skip a meal or two and then eat a heavy meal, you will most surely be really sick. So I make sure that I eat a little something even if I'm not that hungry. It also helps to make sure that you eat a bland breakfast if you want to have a nice lunch or dinner that might be fatty or spicy. I hope this helps and feel free to send me a message. I have found that you really have to bond with other people who have had this procedure and you will find that you are not alone. Good luck!

Any non-caffeinated liquid will do.\n\nThe trick is to take a small sip every 5 to 15 minutes at first.  This is unlikely to upset a weak stomach.\n\nWork up to the usual 6 to 8 per day.  There is no need to make yourself feel ill on water to try to undo the dehydration.  6-8 a day for a few days will bring you right back up.\n\nNote that beverages like salted lemon water, or sports drinks do have electrolytes that are also needed by the body, but if you are able to eat food as well, those aren't necessary.  Do watch for sports drinks that are loaded with sugar, the sugar doesn't help.

The gall bladder contains bile - basically a digestive juice or aid.  If the secretions of the gall bladder (bile) concentrate/thicken - or outflow is impeded for some reason and normal flow out is diminished, concretions or stones can occur.  Not much you can do to prevent them - but people with lower fat diets, have less gall stone prevalence.
