I am having gallstones. I have to fast for 9 days for Navratri festival or 9 days fast festival which happens in India. Can fasting worsen my condition?
Usually, fasting may increase your risk for developing gallstones, hard solidified deposit that form in the gallbladder. Under normal circumstances, our body derives most of its energy from carbohydrate metabolism. When we fast for many days, our body gets deprived of its normal source of energy and it eventually starts to break down its reserve fat for energy. During this process, liver begins to secrete more cholesterol into the bile and eventually increase the risk of gall stones.
In addition, fasting can also slow down the rate of contraction in gall bladder causing the bile to remain at one place without complete emptying of gall bladder, which ultimately will lead to the formation of gall stones.

Will I suffer from any problem after my gallbladder is removed?
As such, there will be no problem associated with gall bladder removal. Our liver has the capacity to make the bile needed and to digest fats. If the gall bladder is removed, the bile will directly flow into the small intestine, rather than being stored in the gallbladder. Thus it is advisable to eat a diet less in fats and more in fibre.
Homeopathy is considered as one of the best therapies for gallstones as it takes into consideration not just the symptoms, but the complete picture of the individual and treats them in a holistic way.
It will help to save the gallbladder from surgery and will prevent you from risk of complications after surgery.
