Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 I have no facts on this, but I have found that there are things I can eat for breakfast and lunch that I cannot eat for dinner.

Any one with ideas on this - or facts? > Well, no facts here, just ideas. Naturally it would help the body in other ways, to eat a lighter dinner. So it stands to reason that it would also be helpful to the gallbladder. I haven't noticed a correlation, personally, between large meals and attacks, but then again, each body is different. So it would be a viable avenue to pursue if someone was trying to find relief from gb attacks. in health, rachel~ " Live your dreams now. Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 Suzanne, At first this seemed logical for me, and I have experiemented with it. For me personally it didn't matter. Example; I would eat a bigger lunch at 1-2pm and then at 6-7 only eat a small dinner. But even if I had a small dinner with any kind of fat in it, the attack would still come. I then thought of the fact that I was only emptying bowel in the mornings. The three meals of the day would back up and the night time work of the bile would in some way work harder to 'coat' the entire food inside the digestive tract at night. Processing the food all the way to the colon, sleeping in the vertical position, the liver doing it's effective work at night while the body is sleeping, all seemed to be the reason that the colic arrived at 2-3am in the night. So, in my personal case, it doesn't matter. Maybe someone else could give you their experiences with this. How does it effect you? Whatever works should be implimented. Also, others could benefit from it as well. Barry. > I was wondering if the attacks were in any way related to the last > BIG meal that anyone has.
