recently found out I have gallstones. I've been to a few doctors and gotten everything from definitely getting my gallbladder removed ASAP to never getting it removed and managing it with diet. idk what to do, I've been able to make changes to my diet and I've taken supplements too and haven't had a gallstone attack in a while, but because my cholesterol is fine and I'm not overweight and didn't have to do any drastic changes to my diet in order to stop the gallstone attacks, all the doctors believe that the stones are not caused by my diet but instead by genetics. This is further evidenced by the fact that my grandmother had gallstones and had her gallbladder removed and also wasn't overweight or had bad cholesterol or ate really unhealthy. All that said, I don't know if all the dieting in the world will be enough to save my gallbladder or if I'm just buying time before I get a really bad attack, get the gallbladder inflamed, or pass a gallstone and have it get stuck in the pancreas or something else which my doctor said could happen based on my stones being small and plentiful
