A member asked:
Is getting surgery the only option for gallbladder disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Surgery will permanently resolve any current or future problems due to gallstones. Nonsurgical treatment quite limited . Avoid eating fried, fatty, greasy foods. Maybe trial of actigall (ursodiol) if the gallstones are not calcified, but often only temporary relief.
