there’s 12 signs that your gallbladder

is in trouble but the most common sign

over 80 of the time is a symptom called

asymptomatic which means no symptoms the

great majority of time people do not

have any clue that they have a

gallbladder problem however even though

there’s no major symptoms there are all

sorts of clues that I’m going to cover

that will tell you what’s going on with

the gallbladder the gallbladder is a

very very important organ okay it’s not

an extra organ that we don’t need it’s a

storage place for bile so it can

concentrate so every time you eat

the gallbladder contracts and then that

bile is secreted into the small

intestines and it helps extract certain

fats like fat soluble vitamins and

nutrients it helps you break down fat

but that’s just the tip of the iceberg

there’s many other things that it does

number one it’s antibacterial so in

other words it keeps the bacteria out of

the small intestine to prevent this

overgrowth or fermentation that can

occur and it’s very common with people

especially if they

you know eat fiber or a big salad and

they feel bloated they could have

something called sibo small intestinal

bacterial overgrowth and and that’s

probably because they don’t have enough

bile to act as a kind of a detergent

um antimicrobial to flush that out and

then what happens is this bile goes all

the way down this tube which is quite

long and then it gets reabsorbed right

before the large intestine and it

actually gets reabsorbed 18 times so

your body is very efficient in a

recycles bile because it’s very very

important but if this bile is not the

right

texture or the right thickness let’s say

it’s too thick becomes sludge if it

becomes too concentrated you get

gallstones and then you can start

plugging up the little tubes they’re

called bile ducts and then everything

kind of backs up so I’m going to go

through these signs most of them are a

bile deficiency symptom because there’s

a blockage of some sort but there’s one

that is a bile excess especially if you

had your gallbladder removed so just to

let you know a stone a gallstone is a

super concentrated cholesterol Stone

normally okay and that stone occurs

because we have a lot of concentrated

cholesterol and and this is the most

important thing to know you don’t have

enough bile to keep it flowing or to

keep it thin so this bile helps break

down cholesterol so really a gallstone

or bio sludge is a deficiency of bile

for some reason and I’ll get into the

the reasons so anyway this sludge backs

up or plugs something up or obstructs

something and because these little tubes

can distend or stretch so they have

stretch receptors and when they stretch

too much it can create something called

visceral pain which can feel like a deep

burning or gnawing or tightness

underneath the right rib cage it can

also definitely make you feel nauseated

now because there’s a nerve that’s

connected to your diaphragm that goes up

to the right side and the left side but

we’re going to focus on the right side

if there’s pressure on that gallbladder

there’s going to be pressure underneath

your diaphragm and on something called

the phrenic nerve and that’s going to

refer pain right here okay right in this

area right through in here and it can

literally create a tightness to the

point where it can pull these vertebra

out of place and pinch the nerve and

actually cause pain down the right side

I’ve seen it so many times in practice

it can also back up the liver and cause

the liver to kind of get congested and

cause pain in the back part between your

scapula and the spine and the rhomboid

muscle right back over here and I’ve had

that for probably 12 years I didn’t know

what it was I would get it adjusted

because I was a chiropractor probably

had

I don’t know maybe

5 000 adjustments and it would give me

some relief and then it would just keep

coming back over and over and over so

anytime like you go to a chiropractor

and you get treated and you have to keep

going and keep going spec there could be

something else behind it like referred

pain usually related to something you’re

eating or some digestive issue now you

can also have a a blockage as it crosses

over into the pancreatic duct and cause

pain on the left side too so whether

it’s the left side or the right side

um suspect gallbladder or bile duct

sludge and there’s another really good

uh clue to know that you don’t have

enough bile and that would be the color

of your stool normally it should be

Brown

when you lose bile it’s going to become

more light like a pale color or even a

gray color and usually your stool will

float because you’re not digesting the

fat so then the fat is going to just

accumulate undigested and make your

stool flow that’s probably one of the

best clues that you don’t have enough

bile that you might not feel but you can

observe that and then as a remedy for

that you just want to take a more

purified bile salts to give your body

more bile so then you can actually start

digesting fats another common symptom

would be itchiness it could be anywhere

in the body and many times it’s at night

for some reason now the next one is

different this one is too much bile

which normally happens after you have

the gallbladder removed and then now we

don’t have anywhere to control it so now

they’re just constant trickle and

sometimes it can actually be too much

and so that symptom would would be

diarrhea

watery stools and no control over your

bowel movements and with that problem

you’re gonna have to go to the doctor

and they’re going to give you a certain

medication to slow down this bile

production another sign that you if a

gallbladder problem is that your urine

is dark yellow or it could even be a

brown type coloring because part of your

bile is a waste product of your red

blood cells and so it can cause a

different color of the urine and stool

if there’s a stone involved and it’s

backing up the bile into the liver and

out through the skin you can develop

jaundice so that’s where your skin is

yellow and the whites of your eyes are

yellow as well another symptom would be

vomiting I mean just think about if you

have a blockage in your bile ducts and

it’s backing up into the liver you’re

gonna have a sick stomach and because

excess bile causes diarrhea a deficiency

of biome will cause constipation because

there’s no lubrication there but I think

we should talk about what can cause the

gallbladder to be in trouble

interestingly when people have a

gallbladder they’re told to

not consume fats okay going a low-fat

diet which is not the right answer

because what triggers the contraction

and release of bile is fat and protein

so when someone goes on a low-fat diet

okay they’re at risk for developing

gallstones and so if you have gallstones

taking a little more fat is not a bad

thing it’s going to increase more

production of bile another common thing

that can cause this problem is um

birth control pills or the spike in

estrogen from being pregnant or any type

of estrogen therapy another thing would

be high levels of cortisol that could be

from stress or it could be from the drug

prednisone insulin is another cause if

you are on a high carb diet and you have

high levels of insulin you’re more

susceptible to having gallstones and

this is why a lot of diabetics who are

basically probably doing too many carbs

have more problems with gallstones and

also certain type of medication that

remove or block acid from the stomach

like ppis can put you at risk for having

gallstones probably because that

hydrochloric acid is another trigger for

the release of bile because as that

protein and fat is going into the

stomach it’s going to tell the liver to

let’s go ahead and make sure we have

enough bile that’s stored in the

gallbladder to be able to digest this

fatty piece of meat so if you’re

removing the acid from the stomach you

might not get the signals and so in some

people the way to actually get the bile

back is to fix the stomach add more

hydrochloric acid in the form of betaine

hydrochloride so it’s important to have

a full knowledge of the gallbladder and

all the potential causes so you could

you know find out what your causes and

then Taylor make it to what caused your

actual problem because as you can see

there’s a wide range of things that can

cause a problem with this now this is an

interesting relationship between

melatonin and bile people that have low

melatonin they have enhanced cholesterol

turning into a stone now in Chinese

medicine they use bile salts to help

reduce fever bile salts can also be used

as an anti-inflammatory bowel cells can

help you get more absorption from the

fat cyber vitamins vitamin A d e in K

and bile cells can also help prevent the

excessive growth of microbes to keep the

microbes in check what do you do if you

have some of these problems

I would recommend to take some form of

purified bile salt okay right after the

meal I’d probably take one or two and

then on an empty stomach I would take

something else called Tut cup tadka is a

very specialized type of biosol that

works better

on an empty stomach because it starts to

thin the bile and it’s really good for a

lot of problems it especially that

sludge and the problem is if you took it

with a meal then it’s going to work more

on the the dietary food and not what’s

happening inside your liver and your

body which is usually either a stone or

sludge now fiber like I’m talking about

salads

can also help uh with this condition as

well because it’s really good for the

liver and it does help to balance out

the fiber as well as the cholesterol

potential for developing into a stone

and lastly don’t go on a low-fat diet I

already mentioned fat and protein

increasing the production of bile but I

didn’t mention this ketones which are a

byproduct of fat can also help contract

that gallbladder so ketones can help

increase the production of bile as well

as the gallbladder Contracting to

release the bile so now that you have

this information there’s other causes of

bloating other than the gallbladder

being an issue and if you haven’t seen

this video I think you’ll be quite

interested
