A member asked:

Is it weird to get a gallbladder attack after eating a banana?

Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Somewhat unusual: Typically a low fat food, like bananas, should help prevent gallbladder problems. It may be more related to reflux, gastritis or possibly signs of a duodenal ulcer. May be a food sensitivity as well. Probably best and easiest to avoid bananas if persistent problems with them.
