Patients with gallstones should primarily avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, barbecue, and garlic. They should adopt a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and also avoid foods high in cholesterol and fats, as these foods can exacerbate gallstone symptoms. Since most gallstones are cholesterol stones, patients with symptomatic gallstones should also undergo surgery as soon as possible. Only through surgery can a cure be achieved, which can significantly improve the patient's quality of life. Post-surgery, patients still need to be mindful of their diet to facilitate recovery.
