yes, I have been currently diagnosed with gall bladder disease. I went to ER Dec 27..and can t see the general surgeon until Jan 10....I am not eating many calories...only abt 300 or 500 a day...due to the fear of having another gall bladder attack....do you feel orange juice could bring on an attack? I have been 11 days trying to just get to the surgeon for surgery
Usually the gallbladder contracts after eating, but this is mainly with any type of fat. Therefore, if you want to avoid pain as much as possible after eating, then avoid any sort of fatty meals. Orange juice or any citric fruits - juices can cause you to have heartburn or stomach discomfort, but should not trigger a gallbladder \"attack\". If you get any fever together with the pain go straight to the emergency room.
