A member asked:

Could lecithin be used for gall stones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

IT won't help: If gallstones don't bother you, nothing needs to be done. If you're having biliary colic and fatty food intolerance, you need to have the gb removed. Lecithin will have no benefit in either situation. Good luck.
