When the gallbladder is enlarged, it is important to avoid foods high in fat, such as fried chicken, hamburgers, and fatty meats. Focus on light, easily digestible foods, and use cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, or stewing. It is also beneficial to consume foods rich in vitamin A, such as tomatoes, carrots, and corn, which may help prevent further enlargement of the gallbladder.
