Dieting and Gallstones: NIDDK (Excerpt)
If substantial or rapid weight loss
increases the risk of developing gallstones, more gradual weight loss
would seem to lessen the risk of getting gallstones. However, studies are
needed to test this theory.

Dieting and Gallstones: NIDDK (Excerpt)
Some very-low-calorie diets may not contain enough fat to cause the
gallbladder to contract enough to empty its bile. A meal or snack
containing approximately 10 grams (one-third of an ounce) of fat is
necessary for the gallbladder to contract normally. But again, no studies
have directly linked a diet's nutrient composition to the risk of
gallstones.

Dieting and Gallstones: NIDDK (Excerpt)
The drug ursodeoxycholic acid prevented gallstones from
forming in one clinical trial of patients on very-low-calorie diets.
However, the drug is costly. Given the small proportion of patients who
develop symptomatic gallstones on very-low-calorie diets, it is not known
if ursodeoxycholic acid would be a cost-effective drug to recommend for
all patients undergoing such diets, though people with preexisting
gallstones may benefit from this drug.
