Meng Xu, a food doctor in the Tang Dynasty, once said: "Chickens are angry, and they should not eat more." "Diet Recipe for Living with Rest" Yiyun: "Eat more and move the wind and block the qi,...... Sick and full of liver depression, they are not edible. "Modern medicine believes that eggs (especially egg yolks) are extremely high in cholesterol, and one of the factors in the formation of gallstones includes cholesterol metabolism disorders, so foods containing high cholesterol should be avoided. In addition to eggs, other poultry eggs, including duck eggs, goose eggs, quail eggs, etc., should not be eaten too much.

Fatty pork: flat in nature, sweet and salty in taste, can nourish yin and replenish deficiency, but people with cholecystitis and gallstone disease should avoid eating it. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that gallbladder diseases are mostly caused by dampness and heat pressing the liver and gallbladder. In the "Preparation of Materia Medica", it is said: "Pork, if you eat more, it will help heat and phlegm, and help wind and dampness." Especially fatty pork, it is greasy and sticky, fat and thick, and people with gallbladder diseases should avoid it. Modern research believes that fatty pork is a high-fat food, and the key to avoiding cholecystitis and gallstones is to control fatty food, otherwise excessive fatty food will cause gallbladder contraction and pain.

Pepper: hot in nature, spicy in taste. Ming Li Shizhen once said: "Pepper, a big hot and pure yang thing, Xin is angry, heat fuels fire, and this thing has a thick smell." Cholecystitis and gallstones are mostly empirical heat symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine, so things that are hot and hot should be avoided, including chili pepper, Sichuan pepper, cinnamon, etc., and should not be taken. Modern medicine believes that spicy, hot, and irritating foods such as pepper are most likely to cause strong contraction of the gallbladder and induce biliary colic.

Mutton: It is a warm and tonic food. Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Han Dynasty, once said: "Those who have a fever should not eat it." The "Introduction to Medicine" also believes that "people who are known for phlegm and fire" should not take it. People with cholecystitis and gallstones are mostly damp and hot in the gallbladder meridian, and mutton is warm and supplemented, so it is not suitable for eating
