I have a gallstone which needs to come out with occasionally, twice a fortnight very painful biliary colic. I am on a low fat diet. I dont have an inflamed gallbladder or pancreatitis. I have a wedding tomorrow and although I dont drink very much, over the course of the day I would normally have 2-3 white wine spritzers. Do you think this would cause my biliary colic, as i would not want to ruin my day with that.
Hi & Welcome to Chat Doctor. Yes, wine can exacerbate the symptoms of biliary colic. This is because heavy alcohol intake can indirectly lead to the formation of these stones and possibly exacerbate existing symptoms. Since you are already having this problem you should avoid Chat Doctor.  Besides, alcohol is metabolized (processed)by your liver, and if your gallstones are a result of a liver condition it may further aggravate the condition. So, better enjoy the wedding party with all the dishes except alcohol and fatty meals. Hope this will solve your problem.
