Gallstone disease: diagnosis and management

Avoiding food and drink that trigger your symptoms

People with gallstones often find that some kinds of food and drink trigger their symptoms. Avoid any food or drink that triggers your symptoms until after your gallbladder or gallstones are removed. After this, you should be able to eat and drink normally.

After you have recovered from having your gallbladder or gallstones removed, you should contact your GP if you have any symptoms (including symptoms you didn't have before) after eating or drinking.
