Diet therapy to pass tiny gallstones
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special diet can help pass tiny gallstones (smaller than 2 mm) out of your gallbladder without surgery. It might be a good option if you have very small stones and want to avoid more invasive treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have tiny gallstones (smaller than 2 mm) that look like sludge in your gallbladder.

- You cannot have had pancreatitis, cholangitis, or other serious bile duct problems.
- You cannot have other serious medical conditions like severe heart disease, liver failure, or cancer.
