Edie,

I also read that on several medical sites. I have been a little

concerned that changing my diet rather suddenly to avoid fatty foods could

actually create more stones! I'm trying to balance that possibility by

eating the " good fats " such as avocado. Just an idea.>>

It is the loss of one's own fat during dieting that causes the gallstones and if

you Yo-Yo diet, it increases the accumulation dramatically.

Good note Jay;

Just to expound upon this note, Edie. The reason for the gallstones formation

has a lot to do with what is known as precipitation of the fats from the bile

salts. This happens when the bile is not able to maintain the fat in an

emulsified state.

As an example: note what happens when dishes are washed with various brands of

soap. The same load of dishes with one brand may only last for half the wash

needed so that you have to reload the sink to wash more (not to mention you may

have to clean off the side of the sink some of the fat that may have

precipitated to it). Where with a good quality soap the fats will stay

emulsified in much larger amounts of actual fat content.

If you consider your bodies bile in this way you will have a much better

understanding of what it does and what you need to do to get it to a state in

which it will maintain the emulsification of the fats while attempting to reduce

weight by ridding the body of excess body fat.

The next stage of the process is being able to get the fats out of the body,

without being reabsorbed in the intestines, which can reabsorb up to 80% of the

bile salts. This is the reason for eating high fibered foods of the soluble and

insoluble types; oatmeal, peas, rice bran, barley, citrus fruits, beans,

strawberries, oat bran, and apple pulp or sauce, as examples.

Once you have a clear idea of what is happening it all makes sense and

eventually you may be able to enjoy much of what you may have had to give up for

a few years.

I've been on this list for close to 4 years now. When I first joined I had to

avoid an awful lot of foods or start to feel the discomfort, but no pain, from

what I may eat. Now I can eat an awful lot of foods I had to avoid and some,

like cabbage and pecans, are stimulators of the gallbladder that would cause me

discomfort because of the stimulating effect they would have.

Edie, I hope this helped you to see why it is that a fast or a fat reducing diet

can cause the formation of gallstones from the bile not being able to maintain

the cholesterols emulsification
