Gallstones???

Question

Anybody start having gallbladder issues after starting keto? I think I've had 3 or 4 gallbladder attacks since starting keto. I'm very much aware that keto doesn't cause gallstones, just brings them to light from the nature of the high fat diet.  I'm considering getting testing done to see if it is gallstones, but my mom is a nurse and she's very positive that I have gallbladder issues. Has anyone worked through these successfully on keto? I don't want to quit! I'm on day 15 and I've been doing so good, but these (possible) gallbladder attacks are miserable. I started drinking ACV and lemon tea. Any recommendations past that?

Answer

After my first week on keto I had a gallbladder attack now they want me to have surgery to remove my gallbladder and to stop doing keto. I tried to stop keto for a few days but I felt like shit, was super tired, felt like a slug and I was like puffy everywhere and gained 3 lbs. I just finished my first “start over”  the week and I’ve lost 1 lb (starting my period any day now) and I feel so great. I just can’t live any other way now. I’m like a different person on it. I stuck too it but cut bad fats and just concentrated on like avocado and almond butter for my fat intake and I’ve been fine. My gallbladder attacks are debilitating. It’s intense pain right under the sternum then right under the right rib permeating to the back, sweating profusely, inability to speak, I almost blacked out last time. Each time I’ve gotten one I immediately make hot tea and drink it try peppermint and lemon. I also immediately take ibuprofen and it calms pretty quickly. Just drink all the tea even if you get nauseous.
