If you have gallstones, you don’t need to follow a special diet. But if you notice any foods that trigger symptoms, it’s best to avoid or cut back on those. Your doctor may recommend that you eat a low-fat diet to help prevent pain from gallstones. If you’re overweight, it can increase the risk of developing more gallstones. Eat a healthy balanced diet and do more physical activity to help stay a healthy weight.
