Healthy Foods for the Gallbladder
Certain foods have been studied for their potential to prevent
gallbladder problems or reduce symptoms.
*Drinking caffeinated coffee lowers the risk of gallstones in both
men and women.
*Drinking moderate amounts of alcohol has also been linked to a
reduced incidence of gallstones.
*In one study, women who ate at least one
serving of peanuts a day had a 20% lower chance of having their gallbladder
removed compared to women who rarely ate peanuts or peanut butter.
However, keep in mind
the evidence is far too preliminary at this time to recommend any of these foods
solely for the purpose of preventing gallbladder problems.
Foods to Avoid With Gallbladder Problems
*Foods high in refined carbohydrates and saturated fats.
*Eating a healthy, balanced variety of nutrients and limiting the
amount of saturated fats and cholesterol-heavy foods you eat may help ease your
symptoms.
Try to avoid or limit these high-fat foods in your diet:
- Fried foods
- Highly processed foods (doughnuts, pie, cookies)
- Whole-milk dairy products (cheese, ice cream, butter)
- Fatty red meat
Also steer clear of very low-calorie diets. If you are overweight,
aim for a gradual weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week by sticking to a healthy,
well-balanced diet and getting regular exercise.
Always diet under your doctor's supervision.
If you continue to have symptoms, see your doctor. You may need
surgery to have your gallbladder removed.
