Foods to avoid if you have gallbladder issues 3: Vegetable oils
Obtaining a balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is crucial. Omega-6 has an excess in the usual Western diet, while omega-3 is deficient. Usually, omega-6 fatty acids can be found in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils.
On the other hand, omega-3 fatty acids can be found in flaxseeds, fish, and walnuts and have many benefits for your eyes, heart, and brain.
Now, vegetable oils are definitely one of the foods to avoid if you have gallbladder issues because they make your gallbladder work harder, which can be damaging for an ill gallbladder.
If you have problems with your gallbladder, you also have a reduced ability to absorb fats, which means you need to adapt your diet. Consuming less vegetable oils is a must, as is avoiding foods that were prepared with sunflower oil, corn oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, or any other vegetable oil.
More than that, be careful when eating mayonnaise because it is prepared with a lot of oil. If you don’t want to completely eliminate it from your diet, consume it in moderation.
The best oils that you can consume are coconut oil and olive oil. They are rich in omega-3 acids and will not stress your gallbladder that much.
