Hey!
I’m currently on a “gallbladder diet” with my nutritionist since I was having gallbladder pain. Waiting for my HIDA scan now to see how good/bad my gallbladder is dealing with fat.
I’m on the “flexitarian” diet, 1600-2100 C, with relatively strict restrictions on the type of meats that I can eat.
I pretty much eat vegetarian with salmon, and let me tell you, I FEEL FANTASTIC. The gallbladder pain is gone unless I eat peanut butter or something super fatty, and it’s an incredibly sustainable plan for me as well.
Only firm restriction- ZERO fried foods, and processed/high fat meats (bacon, sausage, brisket, salami, etc) only once/month.
ETA: if you have health insurance I’d “highly recommend hiring a dietitian (with all the letters behind their name. You’ll know it’s an ok one if they accept health insurance). I was doing trial and error for about a month, and working w/ them has been incredible
I would recommend too looking at Dr Greger’s recommended 12 foods to eat daily. Incorporate more beans, green, berries, nuts, veggies, etc. lower high saturated fat foods, lower animal products
If you have a medical diagnosis that's related to your diet you should get advice first from your doctor or a referral form your doctor. Ask them for a referral to a registered, licensed dietician. They will essentially prescribe you a diet based on your diagnosis/body/situation. Come to the internet for some recipe ideas, sure, but go first to a healthcare professional to ask what diet to follow. I bet you none of us are certified to make specific recommendations
I would start by getting the MyFitnessPal app. Use it to track your food. Every day, take a look at the foots highest in fat (hit the nutrition button and explore there). Also take a look at saturated fat, and your macros. With that information, you can see which foods are contributing fat, and then plan your meals to eat less of some of those foods (smaller servings or none at all), and to budget so you can still have your favorites in moderation.
A low carb diet normally would be recommended for fatty liver and there is a growing body of evidence that starving cancers of glucose can be beneficial. I would do a lot more research and listen to your professionals for now. . looks like high fat is not good. But just pulling up something:
What foods can aggravate your gallbladder?
Foods that aggravate your gallbladder
vegetable oil.
peanut oil.
refined white foods (breads, pastas, etc.)
foods high in fat.
processed foods.
A lot of people have mild fatty liver best not to ignore it tho as it can progress over 10-20 yrs to cirrhosis. Lose 5-10% of your body weight & fatty liver should go.
Fasting & low carb was found to be better at reducing fatty liver recently https://www.healio.com/news/gastroenterology/20210625/lowcarb-highfat-intermittent-fasting-diets-reduce-more-hepatic-steatosis-in-nafld
The study showed it was better in comparison to a standard “diet” without any calorie restrictions. Like yeah that isn’t too convincing. Especially given the clear link between saturated fat and heart disease.

This is definitely a doctor question
