Consuming less than 800 calories daily can leadmto gallstones? is that true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All relative: I am not sure that there is such a detail and exact criteria. What happens is that people that diet have less emptying of gallbladder which in turn can lead to precipitation of bile salts and formation of gallstones. There is not relationship to the number of calories.
