I was advised to avoid fatty food which I did but I always remember my worst attack happened after I'd eaten an apple! Fats can make it worse but it is hit and miss I'm afraid. I hope you get it sorted soon as it's horrible isn't it? I had my gallbladder removed about 10 years ago now and it was a real relief not to have to worry about what might or might not trigger an attack
Thanks bensmum. I had a terrible attack this afternoon which seemed to resolve itself much quicker than usual, and this was after eating a plum and a few grapes. I'd eaten my lunch 3 hours earlier so was sure that wasn't the cause. Think perhaps avoiding fruit is the way forward.
Thanks for help.
