What foods should be avoided with gallstones?
Foods that patients with hepatobiliary stones should avoid include:
1. High-fat foods: such as animal offal, fatty meats, egg yolks, cream, and cheese, to avoid increasing the burden on the liver.
2. High-calorie foods: such as candies, pastries, and sugary drinks, to prevent increased body fat and additional strain on the liver.
3. Spicy foods: such as chili peppers, Sichuan pepper, chili sauce, etc., to avoid stimulating the gallbladder, causing excessive bile secretion, and potentially leading to cholecystitis.
4. Raw and cold foods: such as ice cream, iced beverages, and slushies, to prevent gallbladder stimulation and subsequent cholecystitis.
5. Irritating foods: such as seafood, pickled vegetables, and soy sauce, to avoid irritating the gallbladder and triggering cholecystitis.
