Recently I have been reading everything I can find regarding gall stones and the gall bladder.  From what I have found, it states that those persons who choose a low fat diet will almost always have problems with gall stones at sometime in their lives.  

In recent years, I have had my doctor and dietician both tell me that a low fat diet is the way to go for good health and for weight loss.  I had followed this way of thinking for a number of year until now.  I have gall stones and they can be very painful.  
 
When there is high fat in foods of which are eaten, the gall bladder will release bile to help break down the fat and then let it pass to the intestines.  When there is low fat in the diet, a sludge is formed in the gall bladder due to limited use, and over time this sludge will form stones.  Yet when there is a diet with regular fat intake, the gall bladder has to empty itself to break down the fat in the diet so that no sludge will form.  
 
Any idea how this can fit in with the paleo lifestyle?
