What do you eat if you have biliary colic?

Biliary colic is episodic pain caused by a gallstone temporarily stuck in a duct that carries bile to the small intestine. People who eat large quantities of simple sugars and dietary fats are more likely to have gallstones compared to people who eat what is considered a “heart healthy diet.” However, this is just an association, not proof that sugar and fat cause gallstones. However, it’s worth trying a very low fat diet. A low fat diet decreases contractions of the gallbladder. This may prevent stones from moving out of the gallbladder into the bile duct where they may get stuck. So a low fat diet may decrease the risk of future attacks of biliary colic.
