Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder often associated with the presence of gallstones. The treatment for cholecystitis generally requires a low-fat diet that avoids fried and fatty foods. Adequate calorie and protein intake is important for a pregnant woman, but it is not necessarily the most important component when managing cholecystitis. Bulking up on protein may not be suitable for a pregnant woman who is experiencing cholecystitis.  A low-cholesterol, low-salt diet may be useful for some individuals, but it is not the recommended treatment for cholecystitis.
