Lecithin, from:
http://dramyneuzil.com/lecithin-for-blocked-ducts-and-gallbladder-sludge/
Minor - If you’re having mild trouble with gallbladder sludge that gives you low-grade symptoms or frequent mini-attacks then 4000 – 5000 mg per day in divided doses will help to prevent further attacks and keep the sludge moving.
Acute - If you’re having a strong acute attack that isn’t serious enough for the hospital then 4000-5000 mg every 4 hours with lots of water until it resolves (not more than 24 hours without talking to your doctor or knowing for sure that it truly is gallbladder sludge and not a gallstone emergency). If the lecithin isn’t producing any changes or the symptoms get worse please do seek medical attention because if gallstones get stuck in a duct and block bile flow completely it can be a medical emergency.
(Dr. Christopher) Parsley: Parsley root tea will help remove all stones including gallstones and kidney stones if they are not too large. [This takes time. Parsley juice is more potent.] One doctor who made a trip to Holland was surprised to see medical doctors prescribing Parsley tea for kidney stone and other kidney and related complaints, including pressure of the prostate. He returned to his practice at home and began prescribing the same remedy with the same good results.
Poor methylation as cause, from:
http://www.beyondmthfr.com/mthfr-digestion-methylation-connection-gallbladder-function/
[Also see Bile section for comment about small fiber neuropathy being another reason for poor bile flow.]
Many people find they have gallbladder sludge from an ultrasound, but what they aren’t told is it is caused by the body using sugar in place of methyl groups or sulfate groups. As the sticky, sludgy bile sits day after week after month after year, it begins to inflame and damage the gallbladder. This is when bile gets dehydrated, cholesterol starts to crystalize and the dreaded gallbladder stones begin to form. Not only does this “sticky” situation prevent adequate detoxification of bile, heavy metals, hormones, drugs and other toxins we need to remove, it will eventually create disease in the organ itself.
So the way we prevent this is through optimizing methylation by increasing taurine, phosphatidylcholine, folate, B12, and TMG. Taurine is produced by the methyl cycle, and when taurine is given to rats with gallbladder sludge, their bile gets slippery again and rescues their liver from damage. The methylation genes PEMT and BHMT are found in the liver and they make choline phospholipids which are necessary to keep the bile flowing. Choline protects the liver and gallbladder against damage from the detergent action of bile and it promotes movement of cholesterol into the bile so it can be removed from the body. When we run out of choline, cholesterol and fat literally get stuck in our liver and muscles, leading to fatty liver disease and muscle damage.

[Acute]
* 1Tb ACV in 1tsp lemon juice (or more?) on empty stomach
* "1 TBSP of ACV to 8 oz of apple sauce [or apple or other juices]. Took small spoonfuls (1 tsp at a time) for about 20 minutes. By the end of that 20 minutes, no pain at all and I was able to go right back to bed."
* "Frankincense essential oil is used topically for gallbladder pain. One or two drops can be massaged into the skin over the gallbladder area."
* "A castor oil pack is a soothing and relaxing remedy for a gallbladder attack. Pour castor oil onto a clean 4 x 4 white cloth. Place the cloth on the skin under the right rib cage. Cover the cloth with plastic wrap. Cover the plastic wrap with a heating pad."
* Ginger tea on empty stomach
* Grated apple (1) and 1 inch of grated ginger.
[Preventive]
* Ayurveda: "2 tsp ACV 1 tsp lemon juice mixed in a glass of water first thing every morning."
* "The herb chanca piedra, also known as stone breaker, can be taken over time to help dissolve gallstones."
* Lecithin 2tsp AM and PM
* "Apple cider vinegar is another common tonic that is taken daily to prevent gallbladder problems. (1 Tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of water or juice once or twice a day.)"
* Malic acid. One contributor says that malic acid softens gallstones which is why apples and/or ACV can help. For people who can't take ACV, they can try malic acid instead (around 600mg per dose).

Chanca Piedra, from
https://candidaspecialists.com/chanca-piedra/
"Chanca Piedra kidney stones & gallstones benefits and best uses"
Using chanca piedra for gallstones typically combines chanca piedra with other gallbladder and liver cleansing herbs as well. This is considered a common best practice for two reasons. One is to improve the effectiveness of the gallstones treatment; the other is for safety reasons. Certain gallbladder and liver cleansing herbs have the ability to relax the bile duct, helping the body to pass gallstones more easily, minimizing the chances that of a gallstone get stuck. Using liver cleansing herbs can also help the body to better handle the released toxins from the gallbladder and liver, and support the regeneration of damaged liver tissue. The liver is one of the primary organs in the body that breaks down and removes toxins. When you dissolve the gallstones, it is common to have increased toxins released from the liver as well.
The best most commonly used liver cleansing herbs that are typically combined together with chanca piedra include milk thistle seed (silybum marianum), chicory root (cichorium intybus), dandelion (taraxacum officinale), greater celandine (chelidonium majus), yellow dock root (rumex crispus) and turmeric (curcumin).
