During several recent ultrasounds, it was discovered that I had gallstones; however, two different doctors advised that if I'm not having any pain or problems, just let it be. Just recently, I ran across info on a medicine called Ursodial which is supposed to dissolve gallstones, usually in about 6 months. Ask your doctor about it. If your can avoid surgery, that's the way to go. I don't have any knowledge about eating habits affecting gallstones, except that they are made up of cholesterol; therefore, a low-cholesterol diet, of course, would be recommended.
