    Hi,

    I had a glass of red wine tonight. I have a small glass of wine 3 nights a week with no problems but bear in mind that everyone is different. Someone else might come on and say it triggers theirs.

    I will also have a drink at Xmas but just stick with the one drink. I was able to enjoy all the Xmas treats last year by only having a little bit so will do the same this year.

      Hi Anita, did you have your gallbladder removed already? If yes, when was that and how you been doing?

    Hi Carolina,

    I still have my gallbladder. I am trying to elimate food and drinks that trigger the symptons instead of having it removed. I am waiting until the laser treatment becomes more readily available instead of losing an organ that has a job to do.

    I was diagnosed 1 year ago with 1 large gallstone.
