With a disease in the gallbladder and, in particular, stones, there is an exacerbation of pain, a deterioration in appetite, nausea or even vomiting often occurs.
In this regard, experts recommend a menu from which the following must be excluded:
any kind of alcohol;
fatty, sweet, carbohydrate-rich foods;
fried foods.
The strictest diet for gallstones should be followed in case of attacks that are characterized by severe pain.
What can and what can not be eaten?
The menu should contain food of protein origin. This is because the gallbladder regulates carbohydrate metabolism, but proteins are unable to overload it. Oils such as vegetable and butter are not recommended to be completely removed from the diet. It is best to add it to already cooked food. For example, in cereals or salads in a slightly warmed form. In this case, overcooked oil should be removed from the menu and in no case should it be used a second time.
It is best to cook cereals precisely those that are dietary. We are talking about oatmeal, rice or buckwheat. The most useful soups for gallstones are those made with broth and vegetables. Finely chopped potatoes and mashed vegetables are added to them; carrots, ripe zucchini, and pumpkin are best suited. But sour first courses, such as borscht or cabbage soup, will need to be abandoned, because they are harmful in case of problems with the gallbladder.
In order to normalize bowel function, it is advisable to eat according to a certain schedule:
food should be consumed in a strictly established period of time for this;
breaks between meals should be no more than three to four hours.
It is also important to consider that the diet should be supported by frequent drinking. After all, the gallbladder begins to regenerate, which cannot but be supported by significant fluid losses. In addition, it will be needed to stabilize the functioning of the intestines. It is not allowed to drink very strong tea.
