Gallstone Formation (Cholelithiasis)

The chief component of most gallstones is cholesterol. A condition where there is formation of gallstones without infection is known as cholelithiasis. If infection is present in combination of gallstones, the condition is known as cholecystolithiasis. Choledocholithiasis results when the stone slips into the common bile duct producing obstruction and cramps.


Probable Causes

  • Stones that have developed in a sluggish, diseased gallbladder
  • Poor eating habits
  • Other predisposing factors such as:
a)      obesity
b)      multiparity
c)      diabetes mellitus
d)     chronic hemolytic disorders
e)      use of oral contraceptives
f)       estrogen in women


Probable Symptoms

  • No symptoms may be experienced until the stones start to travel through the bile ducts. However, the pathways may be obstructed and pain (biliary colic) is experienced due to increased biliary pressure.


Helpful Dietary Management

  • Take adequate calories only.

Note: Excess carbohydrates, proteins and fats may contribute to increased production of cholesterol in the body.
