The main symptom for me was the constant pain at the bottom of my ribcage on the right side which is fairly common. I didn't know then but learned from him that's where the gallbladder is located which stores the bile produced by your liver that breaks down fat. When it isn't working properly the bile isn't getting out and isn't doing its job.
I've had some tests and that is the problem the good news for me is I may be able to correct it with a temporary diet change. I've been avoiding fats for just over a week and the pains are almost gone which is great but I have to do it for a while longer. Minimal fats for the next month and hopefully it heals itself enough where I won't have to get it removed. Then again having it removed isn't really that big of a deal now a days anyway. The hardest thing for me is dairy, I love cheese it's like the one thing I love eating.
So anyone got any good low fat alternative food ideas?
