Do you know anyone that tried to manage gallstone before without going through the surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many try...: ...Some succeed. Gallstones do not require rx unless symptoms develop. If they do, it is difficult (if not impossible) to predict when 'the next attack' will occur. Low-fat diets help some but not all. Therefore, if one is otherwise healthy, the best option is surgery.
