Can Alcohol Be Consumed After Being Diagnosed Having Acute Cholecystitis And Gallstones?

Have just been told I have acute cholecystitis and innumerable gallstones from an ultrasound and have been avoiding fatty foods, large meals at night etc, but we are getting visitors and was wandering if it is possible to have alcohol. I normally drink scotch and diet dry, what do you think, also what exact foods/drinks etc should I avoid, would be most grateful for any information

Hi welcome to health care magic forum.
It appears that you are diagnosed with the cholecystitis , due to the numerous gall stones.
If advised you can have the stones removed, by scope, with out surgery. With this you can have relief for some time.But you may have relapse.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein
rich foods for healthy maintenance of the gall bladder.
Avoid alcohol, fatty foods, oils, fry foods. etc. But may not be very strict abstence.
Strictly avoid spices, junk foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
