News Topical, Digital Desk : The gallbladder, located just below your liver, plays an important role in digesting food. If our food contains more saturated fat and less fiber, then it increases problems related to the gallbladder.
If our diet is not right, then there is a risk of stones in the gallbladder and the sudden pain in it is called gallbladder attack, which can be very painful. In such a situation, it is very important to know what is bad and what is good for the health of our gallbladder. Let us know about it in detail-
What are the symptoms of a ‘gallbladder attack’
When the gallbladder stone comes out of the tube to reach the stomach, it blocks the flow of bile, which causes severe pain in the gallbladder. This pain is so severe that breathing stops, which is sometimes mistaken for a heart attack. It has many other symptoms as well, which are as follows:-
- There is severe pain inside the ribs, above the waist or in the middle of the stomach for several hours.
- Stomach ache starts after eating food
- Nausea or vomiting
- fever or chills
- Urine color becomes light brown
- Lightening of stool color
These things are bad for the gallbladder
The less you consume saturated fat and refined carbohydrates, the less bile your body will have to release to digest the food. Consume refined flour and sugar-rich foods as little as possible. However, these types of things can cause more harm:-
- Butter and fat-rich foods
- Fried food or fast food
- Full Fat Dairy Products
- Food items high in sodium
- Processed meats
- Ketchup, sauces and dressings
- Soda and energy drinks
- Ultra-processed foods like pastries, chips
- Sugary breakfast cereals
- White Bread and White Pasta
These things are good for your gallbladder
- High-fibre foods: These foods help you flush out extra fat from your body and thus reduce the risk of developing stones.
- Fruits and vegetables: They are rich in fibre and are also rich in vitamin C and E, which help in preventing stones.
- Whole grains: Choose whole grains instead of carbohydrate-rich foods.
- Low-fat dairy: Replace full-fat dairy with low-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese. These are good for the gallbladder.
- Nuts: These may help reduce the risk of gallbladder stones in men.
Identify your triggers
To avoid gallbladder attack, it is very important to know which foods cause your pain after eating. This information will help you stay away from that food and the problem. You can also take the help of your dietician in this.
