6. Sudden Weight Loss
There are some problems that are associated with gallstones, which are not necessarily symptoms. Typically, a sudden loss of weight or a gaining of weight will occur and then gallbladder issues will then develop. People who are overweight are more likely to develop gallstones. Losing weight can help reduce the risk of developing gallstones. However, losing weight rapidly can actually make a person more prone to developing gallstones.
A person who has stapling surgery or gastric bypass surgery, which can cause rapid weight loss, may actually be more likely to develop gallstones. If you are overweight it is important to pace your weight loss. It is best to lose weight slowly and steadily by choosing to eat a healthy diet. Crash dieting can not only cause you to lose weight too fast, which can result in gallstones, but it can also cause other health issues as well.
