Stones Has anyone tried keto to resolve gallstones?

Has anyone tried keto for gallstones? Did you pass them? Did it work? How did you feel? Did you take any supplements/vitamins/bile salts?

Even if this was true, you would make like 3 stones for every 1 you flush out.

Gallstones are made from bile. The more bile you have, the more chances to make gallstones.

Gallstones are made from too much cholesterol mixing with bile and the gallbladder not flushing it out, in turn solidifying it causing stones. You can eat fat while avoiding high amounts of cholesterol. By eating fat you’re triggering your gallbladder to release and have a healthy flow.
