Patients with gallstones should pay attention to their diet

Patients with gallstones need to avoid high-fat foods, reduce high-cholesterol intake, and increase high-fiber foods in their diet, which can reduce the burden on the gallbladder and prevent symptoms from worsening. Dietary structure is crucial to controlling gallstones and preventing complications.

Patients with gallstones should limit high-fat, high-cholesterol foods such as fried foods, fatty meats, butter, cream, and animal offal, as these foods can stimulate the gallbladder to secrete too much bile, increasing the risk of stone formation and gallbladder inflammation. At the same time, reduce the intake of sweets and high-sugar beverages, because a high-sugar diet may lead to elevated cholesterol levels, further aggravating the condition. Patients are recommended to choose foods rich in dietary fiber, such as whole grains, oats, brown rice, and fresh fruits and vegetables, which can help intestinal peristalsis, promote metabolism, and reduce cholesterol deposition. You should also pay attention to the intake of an appropriate amount of high-quality protein, such as fish, beans, and low-fat dairy products, which can help protect gallbladder function.

The daily diet should be light, try to avoid overeating, and do not diet excessively. It is particularly important to maintain a regular distribution of three meals. The cooking method should focus on less oil and less salt. Healthy methods such as steaming, boiling, and stewing are recommended to reduce excessive fat accumulation during food processing. Drink plenty of water at ordinary times, and ensure at least 2 liters of liquid intake per day to promote the discharge of toxins in the body. Be alert to certain eating behaviors that suddenly cause violent contraction of the gallbladder, such as drinking on an empty stomach, high-intensity dieting and weight loss, etc., which will lead to acute attacks of the disease. Seek medical treatment immediately when symptoms occur.
