Diet for gallstones

The gallstones diet is your answer to help prevent gallstones from forming in your gallbladder. To free you from the discomfort associated with getting gallstones, here are a few things you should change in your diet.
+Reduce fat,cholesterol food
Cholesterol is a steroid lipid (fat) found in the blood of all animals and is necessary for proper functioning of our cell membranes and production of hormones.Our bodies already manufacture all the cholesterol we need, so it is not necessary to consume more. Excessive consumption of cholesterol has been shown to increase the risk of heart disease and stroke,and gallstones.Limit high cholesterol foods such as egg yolks, fatty meats, organ meats,butter, whole milk, cheese and other high fat dairy products. 
+More ginger in your diet:
Ginger can work wonders for your gallbladder and gallstones. Ginger thins bile, thins gallbladder sludge, and dissolves gallstones. It also helps with one of the main symptoms of gallbladder problems– nausea. The primary active ingredients in ginger, shogaols and gingerols, help neutralize the acids in your stomach. Ginger’s closely related cousin, turmeric, is also wonderful for your gallbladder.
Ginger can help with your gallstones treatment.

+Avoid Preserved Foods
When planning for your gallstones diet, avoid incorporating processed products in your meal. The high sodium in them can build-up in your body and worsen your condition. Choose fresh ingredients at all times.
+Drink more water
Increase your water intake to help dissolve the stones and flush them out from body. Avoid carbonated , alcoholic,  and caffeinated beverages. They will only increase the movement of your gallstones and lead to blockage.
