I noticed the work you had put into a potential "natural approach" to gallstones. Without taking sides, but rather to try to make what may be a helpful suggestion to you, I wonder if you would consider something much less wordy, basically referencing a simple sentence that conveys the notion you are interested in, such as something like "for many decades, dietary modifications have been applied to sooth the symptoms..." and then referencing both a medical textbook (and there are many that do support this) and perhaps a specific site (provided you can show has some other encyclopedic "claim" such as particularly widespread use, or something else fairly tangible.) The principal reasons for this note are to give you some encouragement and some helpful suggestions. It is easy to be put off by aggressive redaction of your contribution so I wanted to wish you well as you enjoy wikipedia and your editing activities.FeatherPluma (talk) 23:17, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

I looked again briefly at the article and in my opinion it is a bit disconcerting (frankly) that the wisdom of dietary modification as a first step seems to be absent, favoring "modern interventionism" rather excessively, and counter to actual medical practice! The treatment section would perhaps benefit from a cautious edit that 1. re-introduced the notion that "often''', attacks occur after a particularly fatty meal" and "intolerance of fatty foods" and 2. used a carefully worded excerpt from a textbook, or a reworked referenced version of that source and 3. potentially (and I emphasize potentially) referenced (but not lay out in detail because "WP is not a manual") some particularly meritworthy dietary approach (if there is, in fact, some particular merit!). Hopefully these little annotations are helpful as I am just trying to give you a leg up! '''FeatherPluma (talk) 23:17, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
