Question. I have been on the Atkins diet a few times for about 2 weeks each. Reason is because after about the 2 weeks I felt like I was having a heart attack. Even went to the emergency room the first time, turned out to be indigestion. Tried the diet again a few years later, same thing happened.

Read something somewhere and figured out that the culprit could be my gall stones. If I don't eat carbs, I get the problem with the heart attack/chest thing going on.

My gall stones have been there for many years and have never bothered me, so I don't bother them.

Does this make sense to anyone? Or did I miss the mark completely on this? If you can agree that this is the cause of the problem, any ideas on how to fix it so I can do the high fat diet without doing surgery?
