About Gallbladder Stone Diet Food List
Formed in the gallbladder, the stone is solid particle from bile cholesterol. The
presence of the same in the gallbladder causes inconvenience and frequent pain in
the stomach. With the help of a healthy gallbladder stone diet, gallbladder stones
can be flushed out of the system. In fact, if detected in the early stage and in the
absence of any other complications, doctors themselves suggest diet to help flush
out the stone.
High fat and processed food are a major concern. This is because they are hard to
digest and cause further rupture to the gallbladder. Nutrients and fiber are very
essential. Fruits and vegetables are a storehouse for the same. Bell peppers, lentils,
tofu, milk, sardines, lentils, and tomatoes are important components that must be
included in the Gallbladder stone diet.

Food Items To Limit in Gallstones Diet
1. Limit Animal Protein: Foods highest in purines include organ meats, such as liver,
heart and kidney; anchovies; sardines; mackerel; codfish; herring; mussels;
scallops; shrimp; veal; bacon.
2. Avoid Sodium: Sodium may increase your risk of calcium oxalate and phosphate
stones by causing your kidneys to excrete more calcium in the urine.
3. Avoid Oxalate & Vitamin C: Limit the oxalate in your diet if you are at risk for
calcium oxalate stones. Foods high in oxalate can increase levels in the urine.
High-oxalate foods include spinach, beets, rhubarb, nuts, wheat bran, buckwheat
and chocolate.
4. Stone Promoting Fluids: Avoid sodas altogether to help reduce recurrence of
stones. Drink mostly water and aim to consume between eight to 12 cups of fluid
per day to help prevent all types of kidney stones.
5. Foods High in Potassium: Kidney patients are advised to limit foods that are high
in potassium, as these may lead to life-threatening complications such as heart
failure. Tomato, potato, spinach, avocados, banana, orange and dried fruits should
be limited.
6. Caffeine and Alcohol: You need to limit caffeine and alcohol. Alcoholic and
caffeinated beverages may initially increase urine output, but deplete your body
water.

Do's And Dont's During Diet Plan of Gallstone
Do's: Eat with gallstones
1. Drink sufficient water/juices to excrete more than
1. 5-2 liters of urine per day.
2. Reduce consumption of protein food to a judicious level, as a diet high in
protein (e.g., meat fish, pulses, nuts, and eggs) may lead to kidney stones.
3. Decrease the consumption of sugar (e.g., sucrose)as sugar also promotes
stone formation.
4. Consume adequate amount of calcium every day. You can eat with gallstones
issues to get enough calcium from food items like milk (120mg/100g), yogurt
(120 mg/100g) and cheese (700mg/100g) reducing calcium intake may not
decrease the risk of stone formation but can lead to osteopenia. Moreover,
reduced calcium consumption increases oxalate stone formation.
5. Daily consume raw fruits such as melons, papaya, grapes, bananas, etc. in large
quantity as they provide water-soluble fiber.
6. Be active and exercise regularly to lose your weight, which may be helpful to
flush out better and maintain healthy functioning kidneys.

1. Avoid drinking a lot of coffee/tea and alcoholic beverages.
2. Avoid too much drinking of carbonated drinks, sports drinks, and sodas, etc.
3. Avoid highly salted (e.g., canned food, ready to eat food snacks, etc.) or
sugared foods if your are suffering from gallstone problem. High salt intake
increases the level of calcium in the urine and hence increases the risk of stone
formation. This risk increases with the combination of high salt and high
protein foods.

vegetables, soya and chocolates.
