Talk to your Dr.: Causes of Gallstones include excess cholesterol, excess bilirubin (from liver cirrhosis, biliary tract infections) or gallbladder dysfunction. Risk factors include obesity, high fat/cholesterol/low fiber diet, diabetes, genetic predisposition, sedentary lifestyle, taking oral estrogen containing meds, or rapid weight loss. Avoid high fat/cholesterol foods such as shrimp and eat lots of veggies.
