so there was a question from someone

that wanted to know when not to take

bile salts is there any

contraindications so I wanted to create

this video for that person first of all

most people need bile salts and usually

they’re not producing enough bile salts

are made by the liver and they’re stored

in the gallbladder and when the

gallbladder stores the bile salts it

concentrates them up to 20 times so it’s

a super concentrated mixture to help

break down fats so you can extract the

fat soluble vitamins and the essential

fatty acids from the food that you eat

the pancreas releases lipase and enzyme

to break down fats and then it’ll

actually help to dissolve this fat into

the small particles so you can utilize

the nutrients from the fat so we make

about a quart of bile every single day

and 90 percent of the bile is recycled

through the small intestine bile is also

necessary to help a person detoxify

chemicals from the liver and out through

the body and it’s a very important

compound and you can also take purified

bowel salts to help you with the

digestion of fats and also to prevent

the formation of gall stones because

gall stones come from a deficiency of

bile salts but there’s certain

situations where you wouldn’t want to

take them number one if you had diarrhea

why well because purified bile salts

help to retain fluid in the colon and

they help to lubricate food going

through the colon so if you have

diarrhea and you take purified bath

salts guess what you’re gonna get more

diarrhea so you don’t want to do that

number two hyperthyroid the liver and

the bile salts help in the conversion of

t4 to t3

eighty percent of this conversion

happens to the liver and 20% happens to

the kidney so if your thyroid is already

making too much of the active form of

thyroid hormone which is t3 and you add

more bile salts and make more t3 you’re

gonna make it worse so you don’t want to

recommend bile salts to anyone with a

hyper thyroid state

but on the flip side if you have a

hypothyroid condition you would want to

take it because it’s gonna help you

convert from t4 to t3 in fact it could

be the reason why your thyroid is slow

in the first place

third reason why you wouldn’t want to

take purified bile salts is that if you

have some type of bile malabsorption

problem now that could be caused because

your intestines are not absorbing the

bile salts because you have Crohn’s

disease which is inflammatory condition

or celiac which is another inflammatory

condition or small intestinal bacterial

overgrowth which will mess up the

balance of bile and there’s other

conditions as well so because purified

bile salts gets recycled and you also

need help by your microbes if you have a

problem with either one and this file is

concentrating you don’t want to take

more now some people have the

gallbladder removed have a situation

where there’s too much bile because the

tube is maybe too large and it’s just

draining right into the small intestine

in that case they’re usually going to

have diarrhea and your doctor will

recommend a bile acid binder and here’s

one medication that they use but there’s

many more you can check with your doctor

on that but it’s a way to inhibit or

slow down the bile in your body but the

problem with that it comes with certain

side effects because now you’re gonna

have the inability to absorb certain

fats I above items will like vitamin A D

and K because you’re binding these bile

salts but if your body is making too

much bile or you have too much bile

realize that the trigger for bile

production is saturated fats so one

thing you’re probably going to want to

do is lower the amount of fats in your

diet to about 60 grams per day not any

lower than that

because you need the fats but if you

have too much bile in the first place

you don’t want to start triggering more

about adding more saturated fats alright

there you have it
