A nurse is caring for a patient with acute gallbladder inflammation.

For a patient with acute gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), it is important to avoid foods that can trigger gallbladder pain. Boiled rice is a bland, low-fat food that is less likely to cause gallbladder irritation. Fried chicken, rich dressings, and scrambled eggs (especially if cooked with butter or oil) are high in fat and can stimulate gallbladder contractions, leading to pain and worsening inflammation. Therefore, boiled rice is the most suitable option to help reduce the incidence of acute episodes of gallbladder pain.
