Diet to prevent gallstone attack

Both of the things you ate before your attacks are not low fat and could be what triggered them... You should probably take it easy on fats until you can do the surgery.

I had my gallbladder removed about 6 years ago, with no typical risk factors other than being female. The doctors told me to reduce fats and oils as much as possible leading up to surgery but even then i was having at least one attack a day. good luck and just try to reduce as much fats and oils as possible, even olive oil was triggering attacks in me.

I had my bag of marbles er gallbladder in for 2.5 years before I was able to get it removed (not urgent therefore I spent 1 year on the public health waiting list ) Anyway I had to almost go completely vegan. I could handle 80 grams of cooked chicken breast (steamed only), and 100 grams of WHITE fish a day. No other meats. Trace of eggs or dairy put me in agony. Nuts caused awful nausea. However, I seem to have been more sensitive than a lot of people I've met with gallbladder problems. But I really recommend cutting medium-high fat meals and being careful about using a scale. I found I needed to eat under 300 calorie per meal in order to survive. I spent most of the time grazing on food and had as few as 1 mild attack every month. I saw a dietician but she didn't know what to do with me- her advice "Do what you need to just get through this. It is temporary." Personally, I think that's good advice- you've got a month until it comes out. What is a month in the grand scheme of things?

Meals I recommend are mostly steamed. Steamed greens, steamed chicken breast, steamed fish, poached egg whites. Don't use oil. Flavor them up with basil, mint, dill, parsley, vinegar. ( I couldn't use anything spicy because that would set me off). Stay clear of anything that you ate 0-1 hours right before a gallbladder attack. I had to stay on that diet for 4 months after I had mine out, and even then too much fat at once makes me sick. Another thing you can do is look up vegetable soups. To get away from the BRAT diet, perhaps try 200-300 calorie meals several times a day. I also found ginger pills, pepto bismol, and pms pills helped with some of the symptoms of "oops, shouldn't have eaten that" (particularly nausea, gas, and bloating). However, this is just what worked for me, you might be different.

Good luck!

When I had gallbladder issues, I know I had to avoid: eggs, cheese, red meat, alcohol, and anything else with a lot of fat in it (sauces and such). Even certain things like peaches caused problems sometimes. I basically ate a lot of low fat crackers when it would flair up lol.

The gall bladder diet is crazy limited. I wish I could help I sure sympathize and hope someone can help you.
