gallbladder friendly diet?

I have a friend coming to visit who has chronic problems

serve this person? I know that fried foods is not good,
but that is all I can come up with.

You would be better off if you asked your guest what his
dietary preferences and restrictions are.

I think it is always best to consult with the guest about
these things. Why don't you just call them and ask what they
can and can not eat?

It's not only fried foods, but fat in any form as I
understand it. I had two mouthfuls of ice cream which sent
me to the hospital once when I still had my gallbladder - I
wasn't aware of the fact that I had any problems with it - I
had been asymptomatic up until then. Happily, when I left
the hospital two days later, it was without my gallbladder
and I've never had a problem since.

From:

chiff.comgallbladder.htmOpen ↗

Many people have gallstones and don't even know it. Little
stones made of bile salts or cholesterol form in the
gallbladder. Until they begin to block ducts or irritate the
gallbladder they cause no problems. If your gall stones are
acting up, these sites should help with symptoms and
treatment information, low-fat diets, and recipes...

Ditto. Greasy meals (sausages/frankfurters, cheese-covered
anything) did quite a number on my gall bladder. I spent two
weeks eating dry chicken breasts, low-fat cereal with skim
milk, vegetables (no butter) and bread. Could have been
worse, I suppose.

You got two days? Wow! They were practically pushing me out
the door before the anesthesia had worn off (why they tell
you that you can't drive yourself home). :-p

Well, yes and no. I spent the first day in the emergency
room (or, more accurately, in the hallway outside the
emergency room.) There wasn't an operating room available
until the next morning. I had surgery the next day and was
released 24 hours later.

Ask the guest in question. I had my gall bladder out and we
never could figure out what foods (if any) precipitated an
attack. At the end I was living on Welch's grape juice
popsicles and pretzels.

thanks to all......did ask her and got some good ideas from
you all as well. so far so good, JM

You have to watch those pretzels. They can make you pass
out. Buy the way, I would be thrilled to have a houseguest
who could only eat pretzels and Popsicles.

I had a neighbor who spent the six weeks before her
surgery eating Rice Krispies with water for every meal, or
so she said. That was what convinced her she should have
it removed.

Thanks for the laugh! I chewed my pretzels so remained
conscious. Oddly

enough

I still like them and those popsicles.
