Question

A patient was diagnosed to be having a gallstone which resulted in the complete blockage of his bile duct. Which of the following diet plans should be recommended to the patient?

Answer 1

• Any block on the bile duct will lead to a build-up of bile inside the gallbladder.
• The bile helps in the digestion of the fat into simple fatty acids. As the bile gets blocked, the body will be unable to break down the consumed fat.
• Hence, our diet should comprise of foods that have very less or no fats. Boiled beans, steamed rice, and watermelon is the recommended diet plan
