Patients with gallstone should eat less sugar

What foods can't gallstone patients eat? Many gallstone patients know that bad eating habits will lead to aggravation of the disease, which brings a lot of trouble to the treatment. Experts stressed that patients with gallstones should eat less sugar.

The cause of gallstone formation is complex, but the change of bile composition, especially the content of bile salt and cholesterol, is an important factor in gallstone formation. Under normal circumstances, the two maintain a certain proportion in bile. Cholesterol is dissolved and excreted with bile. If the bile salt is too little, or the cholesterol is too much, the two lose the normal proportion relationship, the cholesterol will be in the supersaturated state, and the excessive cholesterol in the bile will precipitate, forming stones.

If there are inflammation, Ascaris eggs, necrotic tissue and bile pigment in the gallbladder, stones are more likely to form. However, sugar can stimulate the islet beta; - cells to secrete insulin, which can increase cholesterol, lead to the supersaturation of cholesterol in bile, and promote the formation of gallstones.

Some people have investigated and analyzed the diet of 267 cholelithiasis patients and 600 healthy people. The results show that the more sugar you eat, the higher the incidence of cholelithiasis.

Therefore, less sugar is necessary to prevent gallstones.
