What diet should i follow for gall bladder disease when surgery is not an option?

Common sense: If certain foods cause right upper abdominal pain that radiates to the back, nausea and/or vomiting, then simply avoid those foods. Classically, fatty foods cause this, but over the years i've heard many patients describe a wide variety of foods that bring on symptoms. If you really have symptoms from gallstones however, there is no harm is seeing a general surgeon for a consultation to learn more.

Low fat: If gall bladder removal is indicated, very few patients are not candidates for laparoscopic or even open cholecystectomy or at least cholecystostomy(tube placed into gall bladder). If that can't be done, you should certainly eat a diet as low in fat as prossible to try to minimize the stimulation of gall bladder.
