I would be really interested in learning if that was the case for others. My issues didn't start until I started losing weight. I joined WW and didn't eat a lot of fatty foods. That was five years ago. Now I'm not following the diet as strict and perhaps the more fatty foods I consume isn't helping. Thing is, I can eat one thing one day and it not bother me. A week or so later I eat the same thing and I'm down with a flare up. I can't seem to pinpoint any certain foods that causes my flare ups. They just come as they please. Also, my gall bladder has been out for over 22 years.
