To prevent nausea, indigestion, and bile acid diarrhea, an Indian diet must transition through <strong>four progressive phases<\/strong>: starting with clear fluids (moong dal water, tender coconut water) for <strong>Days 1\u20133<\/strong>; ultra-soft low-fat solids (oil-free moong khichdi, steamed idlis, boiled lauki, and diluted buttermilk) capping fat under <strong>3 grams per meal for Days 4\u201314<\/strong>; and gradually reintroducing dry phulkas, egg whites, and light sabzis from <strong>Weeks 3\u20136<\/strong>. Deep-fried savories, ghee, rajma, and full-fat dairy must be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dramitajain.com\/about_us.html\"><strong>Article Medically Reviewed<\/strong>&nbsp;by Dr Amita Jain, MBBS, MS (Gen Surgery), Fellowship (AIIMS), Military-Precision&nbsp;Gallbladder Treatment Specialist, Surgeon,&nbsp;<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dramitajain.com\/about_us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Senior General Surgeon: 29 Years of Surgical Excellence by Ex-Indian Army Surgeon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dramitajain.com\/Laparoscopic_Gallbladder_Surgery.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Gallbladder removal surgery<\/a><\/strong> is common and generally safe, but digestion changes after the procedure.
