Not gallstones: The combination of olive oil, lemon juice, and digestive enzymes in our gut creates "soap stones"; these are not gallstones. There is medication, however, that can sometimes dissolve stones.However, it is an ineffective alternative to surgery--the gb is a "gallstone factory"--new stones will form within a few years. Lastly, a polyp can be pre-malignant: if > 1 cm, the gallbladder should be removed.

Unlikely: Because gallstones would need to pass through cystic duct and common duct before it can enter the intestine. Both of these areas are only a few millimeters in diameter. If he is having pain from his gallstones, he needs to have an operation to remove diseased gallbladder and stones. No evidence that olive oil and lemon juice would help pass gallstones.
