Can you eat sunflower seeds if you have gallstone?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

I realize that many people say yes, then others tell you to avoid. Well I'm proof of that. I've had four major attacks since April, 2012. The last one was caused by trying to keep my self awake while driving long distance. This keeps me wide awake, but I will never try that again. Made it home, but after drinking a glass of water, the pain began and within five minutes it was at the highest and most intense ever. Rushed to the hospital where Doctors were amazed and immediately wanted to do surgery. No, no, I don't think so, I need my gallbladder.....God does not make mistakes. Besides, Doctor's don't understand why we have these organs, and so they just want to take everything out. The surgery will not eliminate pain, because the stones get stuck in the liver ducts as well. So, next they'll be telling us we don't need that too, right?

I had passed my stone 7 years with olive oil and lemon juice and it worked great. Doctor didn't believe me of course and sent me for an ultrasound revealing no stones. Unfortunately, after bad health and eating choices, they returned with a vengeance.

Now, I was forced to give up all the ugly unhealthy disgusting diseased dead fake foods which I was addicted to. Now I'm experiencing healthy choices I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd enjoy. Like salads, fruits and veggies and fish. FISH, SALAD...NO WAY, NOT ME! Now, depending on how you prepare it, no my eyes roll back with delight.
