Ginger and gallstone?

Ginger: Are you asking if it takes gallstones away or increase them in number? Either ginger does not make a difference either way.

Unclear: Some herbal websites suggest that ginger can treat gallstones, others warn that ginger may stimulate gallbladder contractions and provoke a gallbladder attack an article i found in a GI journal could not document any effect on gallbladder volume or ejection fraction in healthy males. Ginger may increase bile production. Actual effect on gallstones is unclear.
