Pain triggered by eating (especially fatty foods) by Biliary Colic is one of the most telling signs of gallbladder distress. Typically, this pain arises within 30 to 90 minutes after consuming high-fat meals and is localized to the upper right or middle abdomen. It may radiate to the right shoulder or back and often occurs during the evening.
This symptom results from the gallbladder contracting to release bile needed to digest fat. If a gallstone obstructs the bile duct, pressure builds up, causing severe, cramp-like discomfort. It can be accompanied by bloating, nausea, or vomiting.
Early recognition of this symptom is critical. It not only impacts dietary habits but can also interfere with sleep and daily functioning. Without timely management, it may progress to chronic digestive problems or acute gallbladder inflammation.
Biliary Colic is a digestive condition caused by gallstones temporarily blocking the bile ducts. The resulting obstruction causes bile buildup and gallbladder spasms, which create intense abdominal pain.
Statistics show that 10–20% of adults have gallstones, with higher risk among women, obese individuals, and people over 40. Common signs include:
- Pain triggered by eating (especially fatty foods) by Biliary Colic
- Nausea and indigestion
- Bloating and upper abdominal pressure
- Episodes that last from 30 minutes to several hours
Repeated attacks can reduce quality of life and lead to complications such as cholecystitis or bile duct infection.
Managing pain triggered by eating (especially fatty foods) by Biliary Colic involves lifestyle changes and potential medical intervention:
- Low-fat Diet: Reduces gallbladder stimulation and minimizes symptom recurrence.
- Meal Size Control: Smaller, frequent meals support digestion and prevent attacks.
- Medication: Antispasmodics, bile acid modifiers, or enzyme supplements may be prescribed.
- Ultrasound and Imaging: Helps confirm gallstone presence and treatment need.
- Cholecystectomy: Gallbladder removal is advised for frequent or complicated cases.
These methods reduce pain and prevent recurrence of gallstone-related symptoms.

Theo Garnier, 42, was Brussels’ undisputed emperor of pâtisserie. His boutique, “Douceur Belge,” sat in the shadow of the gilded façades on Grand-Place and sold out of 2,500 éclairs, 1,800 religieuses, and 900 saint-honoré every single day. He rose at 3 a.m., tempered 70 % Valrhona in copper cauldrons the size of bathtubs, pulled salted-butter caramel until it glowed like antique amber, and laminated dough so thin you could read Le Soir through it. His right hand (the one that piped perfect choux swans and torched sugar into glass) was insured for €2.2 million.
Then the pain arrived, always, only, exactly after fat.
The first attack that broke him came on a Friday night after he had “quality-checked” 300 g of foie gras, 200 g of AOC beurre d’Isigny, and 150 g of 48 % double cream for a new saint-honoré. Twenty-three minutes later a red-hot sword plunged beneath his right ribs and twisted. He collapsed across the marble slab, vomiting pure emerald bile while the kitchen lights spun like a failed sugar pull. His sous-chef Jules dialled 112. The ambulance found him curled around a 20-litre bucket of crème pâtissière, whispering “putain de beurre” over and over.
From that night on, every gram of fat became a detonator. A single spoonful of ganache, a corner of kouign-amann, even the buttery steam rising from a fresh batch of croissants could summon the monster. The pain always struck 15–45 minutes after ingestion, always upper right or epigastric, ferocious enough to drop him to his knees, lasting 40 minutes to three hours, then vanishing as cleanly as a torch turned off. He lost 17 kg in six weeks; his whites billowed like surrender flags. Customers murmured that Maître Garnier looked as if he were preparing for a Vogue Hommes cover instead of feeding half of Belgium.
Public waiting list in Brussels: 14 months. Private quote at Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc: €19,500. Theo laughed until he cried; he had just signed for a €72,000 steam-injected deck oven.
He tried every AI gastro app the European pastry chefs swap at 2 a.m. on encrypted chats.
App one: “Gallstones. Switch to clarified butter.” He used five kilos. The monster roared louder.
App two: “Chronic pancreatitis risk. Eliminate alcohol and fat.” He obeyed. The monster sharpened its blade.
App three, after he filmed himself writhing on the marble between trays of perfect choux: “Impending gallbladder necrosis. ER NOW.”
He went five times. Five times sent home with Spasfon and the same tired line: “Come back when you’re septic.”
One grey March morning, after finishing 1,200 croissants for Belgium’s National Day orders, the worst attack yet arrived. Theo fell between the Hobart and the proofing cabinet, screaming until his voice cracked. Jules didn’t call the ambulance. He opened StrongBody AI on Theo’s iPad and typed with shaking, sugar-dusted fingers: “42-year-old Brussels pâtissier emperor. Knife in liver after every gram of butter. Cannot live with cream anymore. Save the sugar king before fat kills him.”
StrongBody asked questions that made Theo cry into a bowl of burnt caramel:
How many grams of butter do you taste per day “just to check”?
Do you dream of being locked walk-ins full of crème anglaise?
When did you last eat a macaron without calculating its fat percentage?
Are you afraid of your own perfume now?
He answered until powdered sugar stuck to his tears.
Sixty-one minutes later he was matched with Dr. Camille Dubois, a French digestive surgeon working in Ghent who had quietly removed the gallbladders of half of Europe’s Michelin pastry chefs, chocolatiers, and ice-cream masters. Her profile photo showed one hand holding a scalpel, the other a flawless chocolate éclair, grinning like she’d just won the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie twice.
Their first video call took place at 04:45, Theo sitting on a 25 kg sack of flour in the dark shop. Dr. Dubois looked at his jaundiced sclera and said in velvet French, “Théo, your gallbladder has eaten more butter than you ever will. It’s time to let it retire in glory.”
His mother in Normandy nearly fainted: “A woman surgeon in Belgium? We have Lille University Hospital!” Theo almost cancelled eleven times.
But Dr. Dubois drove to Brussels the very next day and performed a single-incision robotic cholecystectomy through his navel. Theo woke 37 minutes later watching his own gallbladder slide out on the monitor: black, distended, containing 194 stones like roasted almonds. She hummed “La Vie en Rose” throughout the entire case.
He ate his first post-op éclair (small, modest butter) exactly four hours later. No pain. Only tears and the taste of vanilla heaven.
Recovery was choreographed for an emperor of sweetness:
Phase 1 (first week): Clear vanilla broth and chamomile, pain controlled remotely.
Phase 2 (weeks 2–5): Butter reintroduced 3 g at a time while Dr. Dubois watched liver enzymes live from Ghent. When he “accidentally” ate 250 g in one experimental day and felt only bliss, she sent a string of heart-eye emojis and “Mon héros.”
Phase 3 (month 2): Full fat licence restored. First test: 2,000 saint-honoré for Brussels Chocolate Week. Theo piped 120 litres of crème diplomate himself; not a twinge.
Phase 4 (forever): Annual “pâtissier check-up” in Ghent where Dr. Dubois bakes for him and they eat with spoons like children.
Four months later, on a golden July morning, the queue outside Douceur Belge stretched to the Maison du Roi. Theo stood behind the counter in a perfectly tailored white jacket once more, right hand piping flawless rosettes of 50 % buttercream onto endless éclairs. He bit into one, closed his eyes, waited for the monster that never returned. Only butter, vanilla, caramel, and life exploded across his tongue.
He looked at the crowd, raised the pastry bag like a sceptre, and shouted, “Vive le beurre!”
That night he opened StrongBody one last time and sent a photo: the empty marble counter at closing, dusted only with powdered sugar sparkling under the chandeliers. Caption: “Tonight I ate Brussels, and Brussels ate me back. Merci, docteure.”
From Ghent, Dr. Dubois sent back a short video: herself biting into a saint-honoré, cream dripping down her chin, laughing. Caption: “À la vie, à l’amour, au beurre. Toujours.”
And somewhere beneath the gilded spires of Grand-Place, under a sky the colour of burnt sugar, Theo Garnier piped one final perfect rosette, smiled with butter on his lips, and knew the pain was dead, replaced forever by the sweet, shameless joy of being gloriously, unapologetically fat again.
Alessandro “Alex” De Luca, 44, was the undisputed maestro of gelato in Florence. His shop, “Gelateria De Luca,” stood on a narrow street just off Ponte Vecchio and produced 1,400 litres a day in summer: pistachio from Bronte so intense it stained tongues green, fior di latte made with milk from a single herd of Valdostana cows, and a stracciatella that tasted like fresh snow falling into warm chocolate. He churned every batch himself at exactly –11 °C, shaved the ice with a hand-cranked machine from 1927, and refused to use anything but raw eggs and 42 % heavy cream. His forearms were scarred from liquid-nitrogen burns and his left hand (the one that folded ribbons of cream into gelato like silk scarves) was insured for €2.5 million.
Then the pain began, always, always, only, after anything with fat.
The first time it nearly killed him was after a private tasting for a Qatari princess who demanded 12 litres of mascarpone gelato in one sitting. Alex had “checked” nearly a kilo of it himself. Thirty-one minutes later a molten spike drove straight through his upper-right abdomen. He collapsed across the stainless-steel counter, knocking over a tray of semifreddo, vomiting pure yellow-green bile while tourists outside filmed through the window. His gelataio apprentice Matteo dragged him into the back lab. Ambulance to Careggi: ultrasound showed “gallbladder packed with stones, largest 3.0 cm, wall 8 mm thick.” Diagnosis: “Severe biliary colic. Low-fat diet, surgery in 11 months.” Alex went home and ate an entire tub of zabaglione gelato to prove them wrong. The pain returned at 3 a.m., so violent he bit through his own lip.
From then on, every spoonful of cream, every ribbon of mascarpone, every tasting of pistachio paste became Russian roulette. The pain arrived 20–60 minutes after fat, always upper right or centre, always 45 minutes to four hours of pure hell, then vanished as if someone had pulled the plug. He dropped 19 kg in eight weeks; his black T-shirt hung like a monk’s robe. Customers whispered that the gelato god looked like he was fasting for Lent.
Florence public wait list: 13 months. Private at Villa Donatello: €21,000. Alex laughed until he cried; he had just imported a €90,000 Carpigiani Labotronic.
He tried every AI gastro app the Italian gelato mafia shares at 4 a.m.
App one: “Gallstones. Use olive oil flushes.” He drank 200 ml on an empty stomach. The pain nearly sent him to orbit.
App two: “Pancreatitis risk. Zero fat, zero alcohol.” He obeyed for three days. The monster used the silence to sharpen its claws.
App three, after he filmed himself curled on the lab floor surrounded by shattered tubs of stracciatella: “Gallbladder empyema imminent. ER NOW.”
He went six times. Six times sent home with “Come back when you’re yellow as your lemon sorbetto.”
One blistering August afternoon, after churning 800 litres of crema and tasting half of it “for consistency,” the worst attack yet arrived. Alex fell between the blast chiller and the –40 °C freezer, screaming in Tuscan dialect, ice crystals forming on his beard. Matteo didn’t call 118. He opened StrongBody AI on Alex’s phone and typed with gelato-cold fingers: “44-year-old Florence gelato god. Stabbed after every spoon of cream. Cannot live with fat anymore. Save the ice-cream king before dairy murders him.”
StrongBody asked questions that made Alex weep into a bucket of melted pistachio:
How many litres of 42 % cream do you taste per day “just to be sure”?
Do you dream of drowning in stracciatella?
When did you last eat a sorbetto without guilt?
Are you afraid of your own freezers now?
He answered until his tears froze on the screen.
Fifty-eight minutes later he was matched with Dr. Valentina Rossi, a Florentine-born laparoscopic surgeon now working in Milan who had quietly removed the gallbladders of Italy’s top gelatieri, cheesemakers, and prosciutto producers. Her profile photo showed one gloved hand holding a scalpel, the other a perfect scoop of fior di latte, smiling like she’d invented summer.
Their first video call was at 05:10, Alex sitting on a 50 kg sack of pistachios sack in the dark lab, city still asleep. Dr. Rossi looked at his lemon-yellow sclera and said in pure Florentine, “Alessandro, la tua cistifellea ha mangiato più panna di te. È ora di mandarla in pensione con tutti gli onori.”
His nonna in Prato had a heart attack on the phone: “A woman surgeon from Milan? We have Careggi right here!” Alex almost cancelled twelve times.
But Dr. Rossi took the Frecciarossa to Florence the very next morning and performed a single-port robotic cholecystectomy through his navel. Alex woke 39 minutes later watching his own gallbladder emerge on screen: obsidian black, bloated like an over-proofed panettone, containing 217 stones the colour of toasted hazelnuts. She narrated the whole time: “Guarda questo gioiello, 3.4 cm, il mio nuovo record personale.”
He ate his first post-op scoop (tiny, fior di latte, full cream) exactly five hours later. No pain. Only tears and the taste of childhood summers.
Recovery was written for a man whose blood runs cold and sweet:
Phase 1 (first week): Clear almond-milk broth and chamomile, pain managed remotely.
Phase 2 (weeks 2–6): Cream reintroduced 5 g per day while Dr. Rossi watched liver values live from Milan. When he “accidentally” ate 400 g of mascarpone in one experimental afternoon and felt only ecstasy, she sent a voice note: “Sei un mostro meraviglioso.”
Phase 3 (month 2): Full fat licence restored. First test: Ferragosto weekend, 3,000 litres sold in 48 hours. Alex churned every batch himself, tasting freely, no knife, only joy.
Phase 4 (forever): Annual “gelato check-up” in Milan where Dr. Rossi makes him taste her own experimental flavours and they argue about milk solids like old lovers.
Five months later, on the first cool evening of September, the queue outside Gelateria De Luca stretched past the Arno. Alex stood at the display in a perfectly fitted black shirt once more, left hand swirling perfect rosettes of stracciatella into cones. He took a spoonful straight from the batch, closed his eyes, waited for the monster that never came. Only cold, silk, chocolate, and life.
He looked at the river of people, raised the spatula like a conductor’s baton, and shouted, “Gelato per tutti!”
That night he opened StrongBody one last time and sent a photo: the empty steel pans at closing, shining like mirrors under the lights. Caption: “Tonight I ate summer and summer ate me back. Grazie, dottoressa.”
From Milan, Dr. Rossi sent back a short video: herself eating a cone of his pistachio under the Duomo, green staining her lips, laughing. Caption: “Per sempre freddo, per sempre vivo. Lunga vita al re del gelato.”
And somewhere between the ancient stones and the slow brown Arno, Alessandro De Luca scooped one final perfect sphere, smiled with cream on his tongue, and knew the pain was dead, replaced forever by the sweet, shameless joy of being gloriously, unapologetically creamy again.
The freezers hummed like happy cats. Long live the king.
Rafael “Rafa” Mendoza, 40, was the undisputed sovereign of Madrid’s churros. His stall, “Churros El Tigre,” parked every dawn at the corner of Puerta del Sol and served 4,000 freshly piped, sugar-dusted loops before noon. He fried them in 120-litre cauldrons of bubbling olive oil mixed with just enough lard to make the exterior shatter like glass and the inside stay pillow-soft. Madrileños swore his thick chocolate dipping sauce (70 % cocoa, whole milk, and a sinful amount of fresh cream) could resurrect the dead. His right arm (the one that could pipe 300 churros in eight minutes without a single air bubble) was insured for €1.9 million.
Then the pain came, always, only, precisely after fat.
The night it almost ended him was after the San Isidro festival. Rafa had personally overseen 18,000 churros and tasted at least a kilo of dough “for consistency.” Forty-one minutes later a white-hot poker impaled his upper-right abdomen and twisted upward into his shoulder blade. He dropped the piping bag into the oil, igniting a small fire, and collapsed against the cauldron screaming “¡Me muero, coño!” while tourists filming on their phones. His nephew Diego doused the flames and called 112. Ambulance to Hospital Clínico San Carlos: ultrasound revealed “gallbladder contracted like a fist, wall 9 mm, hundreds of stones, largest 3.3 cm.” Diagnosis: “Acute biliary colic. Low-fat diet, surgery in 14 months.” Rafa went home and ate six churros con chocolate to test fate. The pain returned at 4 a.m., so savage he bit the pillow in half.
From then on, every drop of oil, every lick of chocolate sauce, every stray crumb of fried dough became a landmine. The pain struck 20–70 minutes after fat, always upper right or epigastric, lasted 50 minutes to four hours of pure agony, then evaporated like steam from the cauldrons. He lost 21 kg in nine weeks; his red “El Tigre” T-shirt hung like a tent. Madrileños mourned: the churro king looked like he’d been on a hunger strike since Franco.
Public list in Madrid: 15 months. Private at Quirónsalud: €22,500. Rafa laughed until he vomited; he had just bought a €110,000 continuous fryer from Valencia.
He tried every AI gastro app the Spanish street-food brotherhood shares at dawn.
App one: “Gallstones. Lemon-olive oil cleanse.” He drank a litre. The pain tried to kill him twice.
App two: “Chronic pancreatitis. Zero fat, zero joy.” He obeyed for four days. The monster used the break to reload.
App three, after he filmed himself on the pavement at 5 a.m., face in a puddle of chocolate, whispering “ayúdame”: “Gallbladder gangrene imminent. ER NOW.”
He went seven times. Seven times sent home with “Vuelva cuando esté amarillo como un limón.”
One scorching July morning, after frying 5,000 churros for the Verbena de la Paloma, the ultimate attack arrived. Rafa collapsed beside the stall, oil still popping, screaming so loud the police thought it was a terrorist incident. Diego didn’t call the ambulance. He opened StrongBody AI on Rafa’s phone and typed with oil-burned fingers: “40-year-old Madrid churro emperor. Stabbed after every drop of lard. Cannot live with chocolate anymore. Save the tiger before oil burns him alive.”
StrongBody asked questions that made Rafa cry into the sugar bin:
How many litres of oil do you breathe every day?
Do you dream of drowning in chocolate?
When did you last eat a churro without fear?
Are you afraid of your own fire now?
He answered until sugar stuck to his tears like frost.
Sixty minutes later he was matched with Dr. Lucia Navarro, a Madrid-born laparoscopic surgeon now based in Barcelona who had removed the gallbladders of half of Spain’s top fritanga chefs, jamón carvers, and churrería legends. Her profile photo: one hand holding a scalpel, the other dipping a perfect churro into thick chocolate, grinning like she’d just invented breakfast.
Their first video call was at 05:30, Rafa sitting on an empty oil drum in the dark Puerta del Sol, city still drunk from the night before. Dr. Navarro looked at his saffron-yellow eyes and said in pure madrileño, “Rafa, tu vesícula biliar se ha comido más grasa que todos los madrileños juntos. Hora de jubilarla con todos los honores, tigre.”
His abuela in Extremadura nearly had a stroke: “¡Una cirujana de Barcelona! ¡Aquí tenemos La Paz!” Rafa almost cancelled thirteen times.
But Dr. Navarro took the AVE to Madrid the next day and performed a single-incision cholecystectomy through his navel while he was awake enough to watch his own gallbladder emerge: black, furious, containing 243 stones like fried chickpeas. She narrated the whole case: “Mira esta bestia, 3.6 cm. ¡Récord nacional, campeón!”
He ate his first post-op churro con chocolate (small, warm, full cream) exactly six hours later. No pain. Only tears and the taste of Madrid mornings.
Recovery was written for a man whose blood is olive oil:
Phase 1 (first week): Clear chocolate water (yes, really) and manzanilla tea.
Phase 2 (weeks 2–6): Fat reintroduced 4 g per day while Dr. Navarro watched from Barcelona. When he “accidentally” ate 500 g of chocolate sauce in one sitting and felt only glory, she sent a voice note: “E: “¡Eres un animal, pero el mejor animal!”
Phase 3 (month 2): Full oil licence restored. First test: San Isidro again, 25,000 churros in 72 hours. Rafa fried every loop himself, tasting freely, no sword, only joy.
Phase 4 (forever): Annual “churro check-up” in Barcelona where Dr. Navarro fries for him and they eat straight from the cauldron like savages.
Five months later, on New Year’s Eve, Puerta del Sol was a river of people waiting for the twelve grapes. Rafa stood at the stall in a fitted red T-shirt once more, piping perfect loops into 180 °C oil that sang like castanets. He pulled one out, dusted it with sugar, dipped it deep in chocolate, bit, closed his eyes. Nothing. Only cinnamon, oil, chocolate, and life exploding like fireworks.
He looked at the crowd, raised the piping bag like a matador’s sword, and roared, “¡Churros para todo el mundo!”
That night he opened StrongBody one last time and sent a photo: the empty cauldrons at 6 a.m., shining like mirrors under the first light of the year. Caption: “Tonight I fed Madrid and Madrid fed me back. Gracias, doctora.”
From Barcelona, Dr. Navarro sent back a short video: herself biting a churro under the Camp Nou lights, chocolate everywhere, laughing. Caption: “Siempre caliente, siempre vivo. Viva el Tigre.”
And somewhere between the fountains and the bear statue, Rafael Mendoza piped one final perfect loop, smiled with sugar on his beard, and knew the pain was dead, replaced forever by the sweet, shameless joy of being gloriously, unapologetically fried again.
The oil sang. The tiger roared. Madrid ate, and lived.
