What Is Choledocholithiasis?
9. Prevention
There is no sure way to completely prevent gallstones from developing. However, as mentioned, some people are far more likely to develop them than others are. This includes people that have already had gallstones in the past. Even having the gallbladder removed does not preclude people from developing the stones.
If you want to lower your risk of getting gallstones, then you may need to make some lifestyles changes. Eat fewer saturated fats and make sure to get more fiber in your diet. Even moderate exercise can also make a big difference in helping to reduce the likelihood of gallstones developing.
