How To Treat Gallstones And Fatty Liver Condition?
I was told that I have 2 small gallstones and a little fatty liver. The doctor was concerned about my levels. They did go down after two weeks of watching what I ate but the doctor wanted to take my gallbladder out. My niece who is a nutrishnist told to post pone the surgery and see if you can resolve my problem with the healthy diet . The doctor said that was fine that it wasn t a emergency. I have no pain what so ever. The doctor said if I lost a significant amount of weight she would then just keep an eye on me and no need for surgery. I do need to lose about 55 pounds and am 56 years old. I was thinking about getting a naturopathic doctor. What is your suggestions. Thank you. Annette Terenzi my email is YYYY@YYYY

i would suggest you to reduce ur weight by avoiding oily and fatty foods ...which will help u lose weight , doesnt aggaravate ur gall stone , fatty liver may resolve ... it is good to do exercise to lose ur weight ... if the gall stones are still there after losing ur weight then better to remove ur gall bladder as there may be recurrence and risk of cancer
