I've had some friends get their gall bladder removed.

One of them mentioned that binge eating can lead to gallstones.

I wonder if intermittent fasting is risky in respect to your gall bladder and gallstones.

Time-restricted eating is not intermittent fasting. Limiting eating to an 8-10 hour window is totally doable with several small meals, no need to gorge on a single meal.

Generally the definition of "intermittent fasting" is limiting eating to a limited time window (e.g. 8 hours) per day. E.g. you "fast" for 16 hours, meaning you're not fasting for the other 8.
