Possibly: Since avocados are high in fat, they stimulate your gallbladder to contract and release bile into your GI tract to aid in digestion. If your gallbladder is blocked with stones or inflamed or badly scarred, this stimulation can lead to abdominal pain. Low fat diets and anti-inflammatory medicines are a temporary fix but gallbladder removal might be necessary.
