The doctors dont want to take it out unless it turns into stones. Thank you for the info.

Usually fatty foods are the worst offenders since that is what makes the gallbladder contract and eject bile.  The bile aids in fat digestion.  When the gb contracts and the bile is blocked with sludge and stones, it sure causes a lot of pain and nausea.  Absolutely all fast food should be ejected from her diet.  When I got that way, I lived on liquids for months before gallbladder removal.  One can only drink so much Ensure (gag!) and Slim Fast (Swill Fast) so I started making my own smoothies.  Also got one of those Juiceman Juicers.  Couldn't tolerate carrots, but the carrot juice was actually quite good.

Is she going to have gb surgery?  Sounds like it needs to come out.
