A member asked:

If i lose a lot of weight on diet fast am i gonna get gallstones ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gallstones: Rapid weight loss can be associated with gallstones because your liver is producing more cholesterol. Overall gradual weight loss will lower your risk of gallstones over time.

A member asked:

I have gallstones and a mild fatty liver, I'm on a low fat diet until I can get surgery. Since being on the diet I noticed my stool color changed to a yellow-brown tone, grainy and kinda mucus-y. Is this from the diet? Should I be concerned?

Read somewhere that losing weight rapidly (intentional) causes gallbladder stones. Any truth? Should my son avoid losing weight quickly to avoid having stones in gallbladder?
