Hello friend,
To the question "What should people with gallstones avoid?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You need to abstain from the following foods:
Red meat, animal organs and intestines Egg yolk: contains a lot of cholesterol, if eaten a lot, it will cause indigestion, abdominal pain, affect hepatobiliary function, stimulate gallbladder contraction and even increase the size of stones. Sugar, refined starches, cookies, chocolate.... Fatty milk: whole milk, butter, cream, and cheese Stimulant drinks: wine, beer, or coffee, tea, and soda (only recommended) Use in moderation) Fried food, fast food: when having gallstones, symptoms such as pain in the right lower quadrant, slow digestion, bloating and nausea after eating a lot of fat. So you need to avoid these foods. In particular, patients in the stage of stones causing cholecystitis should absolutely abstain from animal fat. You should visit a medical facility that specializes in gastroenterology for advice and treatment.
If you still have questions about gallstones, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
