PROFESSIONAL FAQS: CAN SOMEONE WITH A DYSFUNCTIONAL GALLBLADDER HAVE A SERVING OF PEANUT BUTTER?

Expert opinion from Cassia D Muller

It depends on how dysfunctional that gallbladder is. Peanut butter is rich in fat, and the vesica is responsible for producing bile, which digests this fat, so depending on the problem in the gallbladder, it may not produce enough for digestion. But test it out, tasting a teaspoon first and increasing over the days to see how digestible it is.

A diet with healthy monounsaturated fats, such as those in nuts, avocados, seeds, olives, peanut butter, are good for dysfunctional gallbladder. Also, peanut butter contains protein and magnesium that help stomach upset.
