The lowfat diet did nothing to help me with symptoms, I ended up eating what I wanted to that didn't bother me-pretty much wraps with roast beef and veggies sat really well for me but everyone is different, (no pizza or sausage though as those two sent me into horrible pain). A heating pad helped with the radiating shoulder pain-I don't think it would be a good idea directly over the gall bladder though, and distraction, trying to keep busy. I know it's not much help to you.
