Diet Therapy for Gall-Bladder Disorders
Smaller gallstones can usually be cleared through dietetic
cure. In cases of acute gall-bladder inflammation, the patient
should fast for two or three days until the acute condition is
cleared. Nothing but water should be taken during this
period. After the fast, the patient should take fruit and
vegetable juices for a few days. Carrots, beets, grapefruit,
pears, lemons or grapes may be taken in the form of juice.
Thereafter, the patient should adopt a well-balanced diet,
with emphasis on raw and cooked vegetables, fruit and
vegetable juices, and a moderate amount of fruits and
seeds. Yoghurt, cottage cheese, and a tablespoon of olive oil
twice a day should also be included in the diet The patient
should avoid meat, eggs, animal fats, processed and
denatured foods, fried and greasy, foods, refined
carbohydrates, alcohol, products made with sugar and
coffee, as well as spices, condiments, and pickles. The
patient should eat frequent small meals rather than three
large meals.
