This is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment. Gallbladder sludge can cause or contribute to cholecystitis, or an inflamed gallbladder. If your gallbladder causes frequent or chronic pain, your doctor will likely recommend removing the gallbladder entirely.
How long does it take for gallbladder sludge to go away?
Recovery takes about a week. In a person with chronic cholecystitis, the surgeon will usually remove the gallbladder after an episode subsides. A person may need surgery within 48 hours if: they have acute cholecystitis and surgery does not pose a risk.
What foods should be avoided with gallbladder sludge?
- Fried foods.
- Highly processed foods (doughnuts, pie, cookies)
- Whole-milk dairy products (cheese, ice cream, butter)
- Fatty red meat.
