I am a 34 year old male and I have gallstones. What are the best foods to eat when you have gallstones?

Gallstones appear to form when the bile is hypersturated with fat and cholesterol, so to reduce risk of stone formation, then avoid high fat and high cholesterol foods. In other words, don't eat a typical American diet.
You must be on a very low-fat diet because fatty foods including fried foods cause the gallbladder to contract and cause the severe pain of a "gallbladder attack". See your doctor about treatment. There are medications that can dissolve gallstones.
