you know when some people do prolong

fasting

they might end up with

various symptoms related to the

gallbladder and that would be right

shoulder pain or tightness that can go

into the right side of the neck through

here it can even cause jaw issues or

even a headache on the right side of the

head

nauseousness

bloating

a full feeling underneath the right rib

cage

or pain or tightness

or discomfort underneath the breastbone

and what’s happening is the bile is

becoming a sludge okay it’s called

biliary sludge or bile sludge

because the bile is becoming very very

thick because normally when you have the

right ratio of bile and cholesterol

everything’s fine

but when the bile becomes deficient to a

certain degree

the concentration of cholesterol and

other things in bile become more

concentrated or super concentrated

and things start getting thicker and it

backs up to the pipes or tubes bile

ducts and that causes the symptoms that

i just mentioned the person may even

find that their cholesterol goes up

because one of the purposes of bile is

the elimination of cholesterol and they

may even notice on a blood test that

they have higher levels of bilirubin

or alkaline phosphatase that is just an

indication that there’s some type of

problem with the gallbladder and it’s

backing up into the liver now normally

this shouldn’t happen when someone fast

unless

there is a pre-existing problem with

bile like a bile deficiency going into

the prolonged fast because what happens

normally when you eat the gallbladder

contracts

and it squeezes out the bile

but if you’re not eating it doesn’t

contract and the purpose of the

gallbladder is to concentrate

the bile but if there’s a deficiency of

bile for some reason which i’ll go

through those reasons

the person can start developing this

sludge that kind of backs up through

these little ducts so we should probably

get our ducks in a row another

definition of duct so i’m going to

explain this simple solution but

let’s first just mention the things that

can cause a bile deficiency

well

bile is produced by your liver so if

there’s any problem with the liver as in

a fatty liver

or an inflamed liver like hepatitis or a

liver that’s filled with scar tissue as

in cirrhosis

that could be why you have a deficiency

in bile now also if you’re on a statin

drug

that could be a reason because statins

work by blocking the production of

cholesterol and bile is made from

cholesterol

if you’re on a low cholesterol or a

low-fat diet that can create a

deficiency in bile if you’re eating a

diet that’s spiking insulin or have high

insulin

that can create a bile deficiency if you

have high cortisol from stress that can

create a problem or high estrogen for

some reason maybe you’re on birth

control pills or hormone replacement

therapy or you just became pregnant have

you ever heard about someone being

pregnant and then feeling nauseous

well that’s the reason now also could be

that the person had gastric bypass

because that alters the release of bile

and that could be the problem another

problem is that if someone doesn’t have

enough microbiome they don’t have enough

friendly bacteria let’s say they just

came off an antibiotic

and your microbes make bile so that

could be the reason why you’re deficient

and one last very interesting reason why

someone can be bile deficient

they’re on

like

an iv nutrition it’s called parenteral

nutrition okay that has to do with

having an iv put nutrition into your

body versus consuming food that goes

through your digestive tract it doesn’t

have anything to do with parenting or

being a parent so it’s interesting about

parenteral nutrition

is that if someone is on this for

13 weeks or longer

based in one study a hundred percent of

the

patients

developed bile or bilirubi sludge

which by the way is the precursor to

gallstones i mean if you think about

what’s in this nutrition it’s just

terrible

50 of it is dextrose which is a

synthetic sugar they have soy oil which

is probably the worst omega-6 fatty acid

out there it’s highly processed it

probably has hexane which is a solvent

and has been known to increase liver

enzymes as well as a fatty liver in

people taking parenteral nutrition and

then they add amino acids synthetic

vitamins minerals some trace minerals so

what is the solution

it’s called tudka tutcom it’s a type of

bile salt that i would highly recommend

that you can buy online i’m not going to

recommend a brand you have to find that

brand yourself based on maybe some good

reviews but cut is a type of bile salt

that thins the bile okay it will really

give you a lot of relief and you want to

take tutka on an empty stomach you want

to take two

and if it’s very severe maybe you want

to take two on an empty stomach twice a

day in addition to that i would also

recommend taking bile salts with a meal

the one i’m going to recommend is called

gallbladder formula i will put a link

down below if you want more information

on that but this tutka remedy is

fascinating and i created a video on it

so you can see

all the other things it does check it

out i put it right here
