Can i make gallstones go away?!
Question: I had a gallbladder attack five days ago. I went to the doctor and scheduled a ultrasound. But its five days later now and I still have pain in my shoulder and upper stomach...(not anything like the actual attach though)) Can I make the pain go away by eating better. I'm going on a holiday soon and probably won't be able to have it removed before then so is there anything I can do to make the pain go away till then? Or will it go away on its on eventually?

HI Brandee
Here are some ideas to resolve your issue.
Natural Cures
Most gallbladder surgeries can be easily avoided through nutritional and natural intervention, with emphasis on identification, avoidance, and treatment of food allergies.
Diet: Identify and avoid all foods to which you are allergic or sensitive, especially eggs, milk and dairy products, gluten, wheat and dairy products. Also reduce your saturated and overall fat intake, keeping it below 20 percent of the total foods you eat, and eliminate all processed and hydrogenated fats. But do not cut fat completely, as this can actually increase your chances of developing gallstones. Monounsaturated fats (olive oil, coconut oil) are the best fats to include in your diet.
Be sure to eat less, as well, since overeating places stress on the gallbladder. At the same time, be sure to eat breakfast, don`t skip meals, and eat a balanced and healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes and other vegetarian sources of protein. Increase your intake of dietary fiber to improve bowel movements, and avoid refined carbohydrates, which can cause gallstone formation. Overall, eat less animal foods, remove processed foods and move toward a whole foods vegetarian-oriented diet. If you are overweight, lose the weight, but slowly and sensibly.
Good foods to include in your diet are black cherries, pears, beets (raw and cooked), fresh steamed and water saut
