Detailed Summary
Background and aims: A low-fat diet has been traditionally recommended after cholecystectomy although evidence is lacking. The main aim of the study is to assess either if digestive symptoms improve following the operation and if the restriction of fat in diet does influence these symptoms. Methods: Symptoms have to be prospectively assessed by the GIQLI score (Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index) at baseline, and one month after cholecystectomy. A low fat diet or equilibrated diet is randomly assigned to patientes distributed in two groups (N=80) candidates to gallbladder removal. Patients have to follow the prescribed diet and complet a questionnaire of symptoms (GIQLI Symptomantic score).
