Diet : You want to avoid stimulating the gall bladder, which is what oil, grease, and fat in foods do. So, avoid fatty meals if your gallstones are flaring up. But, if this is a frequent problem, the best course would be to have your gallbladder removed to prevent trouble (like pancreatitis and hepatitis). I don't put much stock in certain meds that claim to "dissolve" gallstones.
