I used to like Jell-O once in a while. I even have somewhat fond
memories of those famous old Jell-0 salads. I haven't had any Jell-O
since I had my gall bladder problem. Thinking I had stomach flu I had
put myself on a clear fluid diet for 5 days, just tea, water, broth and
Jell-O. Then my wife made me go to the hospital where they diagnosed my
flu as a gall bladder attack and scheduled me for surgery... and put me
on a clear fluid diet... tea, broth and Jell-O, I had my surgery and
when I came to and was able to eat again..... clear fluids. Since my
gall bladder had been so infected and so big I ended up having to stay
for an extra two days. I have not had Jell-O since.
