so let’s talk about the best food for

gallstones

what causes gallstones it’s a situation

where you have

supersaturated cholesterol that’s

forming a stone

but just because you have high

cholesterol does not

mean that you’re going to get a stone

has to have another situation occurring

which is this

low amounts of bile salts if you have a

bile deficiency

and a super concentrated amount of

cholesterol that’s when you get the

stone

we could reword this as the best foods

for increasing

bile production okay primary bile salts

are made by your liver

and then you have secondary bile salts

made by your

microbes so you need friendly bacteria

to also make bile not just a healthy

liver but

enough bacteria there’s a lot of natural

things that can help you

increase bile as far as supplements goes

to reduce stones

one is choline you can get that in a

supplement

it just so happens that butter grass-fed

butter

has choline in it okay so that’s one of

the things that can

help you to a certain degree and just

because i’m talking about butter i’ll

talk about it right now

a certain amount of that butter is

easier to digest because it doesn’t have

to go through

all the steps of digestion i don’t want

to get into the mechanism of that

all you need to know is that grass-fed

butter does have some choline that can

help you

but also the grass-fed butter being a

fat

a saturated fat can actually trigger

the liver to make more bile as compared

to people that are on a low-fat diet

they are at a higher risk for getting a

gallstone

simply because they’re not triggering

the liver

to make more bile so they’re bile

deficient and they end up with the

gallstones not

necessarily people that are consuming

more fat

now just taking purified bile salts

are very important if you have gall

stones because that has been known

and used even by the medical community

to help dissolve stones if you want more

information i put a link down below

also omega-3 fatty acids as a supplement

or in certain foods

can help reduce the risk of stones

but the foods that can help reduce

gallstones

would be the bitter vegetables artichoke

is at the top of the list it helps

your body make more bile enzyme

very important in increasing bile

production okra

and beet tops okay very very bitter

but it also has other things like

choline that can help reduce the risk of

getting gallstones

cruciferous vegetables okay

dandelion greens great for the liver

anything that supports liver health or

liver regeneration

will help the production of bile

thus these vegetables right here and we

already mentioned grass-fed butter

apple cider vinegar is good for the

liver and it can

actually help digestion it also helps

stimulate the release of bile from the

liver because

in the digestive process when you eat

and the acid is triggered

that acid sends a signal to the liver to

start releasing bile

and if you have low amounts of acid in

your stomach that could be another

reason why you’re not releasing the bile

as well

you may have heartburn or gerd acid

reflux

or definitely indigestion that’s that’s

probably the

top symptom lemon and lime

can also help increase bowel production

now on the flip side there are certain

things that will cause stones like

high amounts of cortisol so you’d want

to lower cortisol that comes from stress

as well as taking a cortisol medication

as in prednisone

cortisone shots that can increase the

risk of getting stones

high levels of insulin from doing high

amounts of

carbs and frequent eating can actually

cause

stones so you want to lower the insulin

doing the keto diet and intermittent

fasting

estrogen has the capacity to create

stones

and that’s one reason why women that are

pregnant have a higher incidence of

getting a stone

as well as women that are on birth

control pills

or estrogen therapy they tend to get

more stones

and then we have a person that’s on a

low fat high high-protein

type diet some of those powdered

high-protein low-fat soy protein

isolate type products to help you lose

weight are very very hard on the liver

and that seems to increase the risk of

getting gallstones and then the

other thing that’s very bad for the

liver that creates inflammation that

creates insulin resistance

is vegetable oils or seed oils so you

want to avoid

the corn oils the soy oil the canola oil

the cottonseed oils for sure all right

guys i created a lot of videos on the

gallbladder if you haven’t seen them i

put a few

good ones up here check them out
