The consumption of an inappropriate diet is the primary cause of gallbladder disorders.

The gallbladder is a vital organ that:

• Helps the liver in the digestion of fat. 
• Stores the bile produced by the liver and releases it when it is needed in the process of digestion.

Symptoms of this condition are:

• Pain surge, 
• Indigestion, 
• Nausea, 
• Vomiting, 
• Abdominal bloating.

Very likely to develop gallbladder disease are women and people with:

• Overweight problems,
• Ages over 50, 
• Gastrointestinal disorders, 
• Diabetes,
• High blood cholesterol levels. 

Excessive cholesterol, calcium and bile salts, which accumulate inside the gallbladder can form gallstones. They can cause inflammation, swelling, pain and even infections.

A healthy diet can:

• Ameliorate the symptoms of gallbladder disease. 
• Prevent the occurrence of complications and the formation of new gallstones inside the gallbladder or bile ducts. 
• Can facilitate the elimination of small gallstones. 

How can you get rid of small gallstones and help the process of digestion?

• Eat plenty of green vegetables and fresh fruits, as they are rich in natural fibers and an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. 
• Consume foods that contain starch (rice and potatoes) as they can also help in eliminating gallstones. 
• Eat plenty of cereals, and wheat products. 
• Include natural bile salts and omega three fish oil capsules in your diet. They can help the digestion and absorption of fat, also reducing blood cholesterol. 
• Drink 1 gallon of water a day. It will assist the body to eliminate excess cholesterol and gallstones. 

For a healthy gallbladder, do the following:

Restrict your fat intake and avoid foods that are rich in saturated fat such as:

• Meats: pork, ribs, bacon, sausages, and salami 
• Dairy products as eggs, cheese, high-fat milk 
• Citrus fruits, coffee, chocolate, and carbonated soda.

Soy can be an excellent replacement for these foods. Try eating tofu and soy milk. 

Replace fast food with home-cooked meals and stay away from processed and fried foods. 

Avoid eating large amounts of food at once. Eat 4-5 small meals a day and avoid late meals. Meals right before bed time can trigger pain attacks. 

By following the above recommendations, you can prevent the occurrence of complications and can ameliorate the symptoms of gallbladder disease in time.
