have tried the diet, When I had my

gallbladder I only ate cereal and salads with no dressing, even when

I was pregnant, and I still had attacks at least twice a week. I

never ate anything with over 2 grams of fat and never anything with

oil and I NEVER cheated! And it still didnt do very much. I was so

thin and sick that I couldnt take it anymore, I was also very afraid

because of what they told me about the pancreatitis, In a way Im glad

I got it removed because now I have Hypoglycemia which I beleive is

from damage to the pancreas. I also take many supplements and things,

My mother is a homeopath and all of her friends are naturopaths or

other natural health professionals, so I get tons of advice and

nothing has really seemed to work as of yet, I also juice alot and

when I do that routinly I do feel quite a bit better and it also

lessens the symptoms of hypoglycemia, I would also like to mention

that the gastro dr thinks I have ibs and that only started after my

gb removed, and after talking to others they have the same problem

after surgery, so maybe drs should tell people that when they are

deciding wether or not to do surgery? Just a thought. Thank you so

much for replying it is good to know someone can relate!! Good luck--
