> [..] my gallbladder was giving me pain when I'd eat meat/dairy - the doc wanted to take it out, but I found that going vegan solved that problem
Very interesting!
Out of "scientific" interest, did you manage to fully recover your gallbladder functionality through your diet change? And secondarily, although you chose to go vegan, did you ever occasionally try back quality dairy or meat, without pain?
My main criteria is lack of pain. If you've ever had a gallbladder issue it's quite painful and the pain lasts for several hours and there's not a lot you can do about it after it starts. I haven't had an episode like this since going vegan. I do eat sardines occasionally just to make sure I'm not missing anything and that seems fine (no pain). Other than that I'm not too inclined to experiment since things are working well as is.
I see, and I can understand your take conceptually. I was asking as I coincidentally know a few people around me that have been having gallbladder issues recently.
