I don't have gallstones ... yet! But my dad has them and so far I've inherited all of his ailments (with the exception of prostate cancer which is not possible for women, thank goodness)!
However, I understand how you feel. I balance IBS with blood sugar problems, food allergies and acid reflux. One can literally lose themselves in so many diets for so many different things!
I think gallstones are treatable using a medication that dissolves them. Of course, I have no idea how that medication might affect your IBS, GERD and hernia. If the medication doesn't work, the gallstones can usually be removed in a minor operation involving a microscopic procedure.
On the bright side (if there is one), I think the IBS diet, because it is low fat, would probably be suitable for some of your other conditions too.
By the way, the solution to not getting all these terrible stomach diagnoses is to stay away from doctors!
