A member asked:
Is it okay to drink a glass of wine if i have gall stones/gall bladder problems?

Maybe: Obviously avoid alcohol if it causes any pain or discomfort. Best treatment for gall stones is have a laparscopic cholecystectomy (removal of gall bladder) which in good medical centers is performed as a day surgery procedure. Red wine can increase gall bladder symptoms. Alcohol/wine can irritate a sensetive bladder, specially ic patients. Why consume it if results are unpleasant?

Likely: Fatty foods and some other dietary indiscretions can be irritants but a glass of wine occasionally is not very dangerous unless pancreatitis involved.
