Would smoking aggravate Gallstones

[WizKun]

Hi,
I was diagnosed with a 19mm gallstone and a swollen Gallbladder when I got a stomach cramp due to that swelling of the Gallbladder. The immediate medical threat is removed after a course of an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin). I'm scheduled to see a specialist on this Saturday.

I believe that this was a direct result of my over eating. I have been depressed after a relationship issue, and was smoking a lot of cannabis and eating a lot of junk food.

Now I'm still smoking cannabis in moderate amounts. I have immediately shifted to a Naturopathic diet plan to get rid of the Gallstone.

I want to ask, if smoking cannabis can aggravate the Gallstone formation. Someone has told me that, it is because THC is a resin, that could also cause Gallstones.

I believe that this Naturopathic diet plan will help in getting rid of this Gallstone, and I'm already feeling much better after 2 days of this meal plan.

I want to keep my gallbladder. And if there is any possibility that smoking cannabis could aggravate the Gallbladder or formation of Gallstones, or liver function, I want to know that and stop for now.

Thank you!

I do not believe anything such as this is possible (MMJ causing gallstones). But, I would definitely ask an endocrinologist or surgeon.

I think if you can keep your diet under control while smoking Mj you wont have any problems.
