Can Following Healthy Diet Get Rid Of Gall Stone Without Surgery?
I have just been told that I have a 16mm gall stone, and am following a very good no animal fat diet at present. I was wondering if I continue to do this could I avoid having surgery to remove my gall bladder. I have had 2 lumpectomies for breast cancer and would rather not have any more surgery if possible.

Hello
So long as that one stone doesn't cause you any problems with attacks of abdominal pain and nausea, there's no need to remove your gall bladder. The diet you're on is great and it should help keep you from having to have surgery
