Hey everyone.
I'm waiting on a scan and some blood tests to confirm I definitely have gallstones, but both doctors I've been examined by have concluded I've most likely developed stones after/during my weight loss.
My doc gave me Co-Codamol to relieve the pain, and it has worked, but rather than take the tablets and eat, I've just stuck to not eating and not needing the tablets. So far I haven't eaten much besides crackers and a few cashew nuts in 3-4 days.
My real question is; if anybody has had gallstones and were given Co-Codamol, did you take them before or after your meal?
And what kind of diet did you have whilst waiting for confirmation and thus surgery?
I've been told to avoid fatty foods, other sources have recommended a vegetarian diet, and I'm quite confused.
All I know is I don't want to deal with the pain again if possible, as it's quite debilitating and depressing, and so I've been avoiding eating much (but obviously keeping well hydrated).
TIA for any advice, anyone
