Many people still deal with the same symptoms or worse after surgery. The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile, releasing it when needed. Bile is essential for breaking down fats and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins. Gallstones form when there’s too much cholesterol and not enough bile salts. Bile sludge typically develops first, eventually leading to gallstones. The real cause of gallstones is not producing enough bile to handle cholesterol. When the gallbladder is removed, you lose the ability to store and concentrate bile. Some people even experience too much bile flow afterward, which can lead to diarrhea. Dietary fat does not cause gallstones! Low-fat diets are the single greatest triggers of gallstones. Fat actually stimulates bile production. The real problem is sugar and hidden sugars. High-carb diets increase cholesterol while reducing bile production, raising the risk of gallstones. This is why prediabetics and diabetics are more likely to develop gallstones. Bile salts can help thin bile sludge and may even support the breakdown of gallstones. TUDCA is especially effective for thinning bile in the ducts, particularly in cases linked to right shoulder pain. Taking bile salts right after eating can also support fat digestion and bile flow.

❤ I used chuckle leaving the doctor office. Because for some years I've been telling my doctors and nurses about healing from fasting they didn't believe me. But now they are into keto fasting. It's amazing to see the shift in medical professionals' perspectives on alternative healing methods. 97% of my health issues are gone from keto fasting...

Don't remove your Gallbladder!! ...If you drink lemon juice with extra virgin olive oil before going to bed, in the morning you'll poop out the stones! I found the recipe online and it worked!!..it was amazing.

My friend’s in hospital atm awaiting surgery. Her diet is atrocious - processed meat, cheese and cheap bread which she thinks keeps her weight down along with walking 10k a day. She NEVER drinks water, just 2 cups of tea a day. She wouldn’t listen. I diagnosed her problem before she got to the hospital as I watched my grandmother suffer with stones. They eventually operated when she was in her 80s! I hope my friend survives.

I'm embarrassed at my arrogance in my younger years. I specialise in General Surgery. Lap choles our bread and butter. As a junior if a patient asked what happened without a GB I would say nothing. Can live perfectly okay without it. Never did I give any advice on how to prevent formation of stones and prevent an operation. The consequences of no GB is also brushed over. Thank you Dr Berg. You've helped heal me and now how I heal my patients.
