If my condition worsened to the extent that my quality of life suffered then I would not hesitate to have surgery. I decided that I would invent a programme for myself based on diet, natural and homeopathic remedies and exercise to help myself, which are listed below. I alternate my tablets and potions as necessary, depending upon whether I have an attack or not, and its severity. For breakfast I have cereal sprinkled with lecithin, which helps break down fat in food. I also try and drink several cups of dandelion tea.
Dandelion is a bitter tonic which cleanses and stimulates the liver and gallbladder.
It is important to follow a low-fat diet. Olive oil is beneficial, dribbled over salads. A small glass of white wine daily helps stimulate the gallbladder. Obviously, avoid fatty and heavily spiced food as well as pickles. I also put myself on a course of Weleda's Choleodoron, suggested to me by a homeopathic doctor I visited.
