Do note that fat is required to pump gall out, so eating low fat means your gall never turns over, which means it eventually hardens.

30% calories from fat is part of my normal diet. Good quality fat, never trans fat.

When I read my MRI report, it stated that my biliary duct was 17mm in diameter from the liver to the ampulla where it dumps to the duodenum. I did have a reference for the significance of that number. Last night, I looked up what the "normal" range should be. Normal is 4.0mm to 4.1mm. An outlier maximum in the study was 7.9m. My duct at 17mm is extremely dilated. It certainly sounds like I have a blockage at the outlet to the duodenum. The surgical consult to remove the gallbladder is still a week out.
