Stones : Gallstones are common. They cause no symptoms in two out of three people who have them. They sometimes cause problems such as pain, yellowing of the skin or the whites of the eyes (jaundice), inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), and gallbladder inflammation. Surgery is the usual treatment for gallstones that cause symptoms. https://patient.info/health/gallstones-diet-sheet
