Gallbladder  Removed?

 

Living Without A Gallbladder

By: Dr. Loretta Lanphier, ND, CN, HHP

 

Roughly 20 million Americans suffer from gallstones, and 750,000 of them have their gallbladders removed each year. There are 800,000 hospitalizations and 2 billion dollars spent annually on gallbladder disease.

For most people the pain of a malfunctioning gallbladder eventually becomes unbearable. After several trips to the emergency room the mention of surgery is met with certain approval. Unfortunately this seemingly simple solution may or may not end the pain and discomfort of gallbladder disease. The probable after-effects of gallbladder surgery are never discussed with the patient which leaves the patient with the impression that all will be back-to-normal after surgery. But it doesn't take long to realize that all is "not well" and the patient soon begins to feel very betrayed by their surgeon and doctor who did not prepare them for "life without a gallbladder."

Contrary to medical opinion the gallbladder is of use to the body. The gallbladder is a small sac underneath your liver that stores and secretes bile, a digestive fluid that breaks down fats. Gallstones form when the chemical compounds in bile become unbalanced -- no one's sure exactly why this happens, but a diet high in fat often makes the problem worse. Since bile is actually produced by the liver, it's possible to survive without a gallbladder, but often not without unpleasant digestive tract complications.The gallbladder is like a pump. Without it, the liver can't secrete enough bile to properly digest a full meal. Many people experience symptoms such as diarrhea, gas, abdominal pain, bloating, indigestion, constipation, increased allergies, liver congestion, itchy skin and autoimmune diseases. Some patients suffer from dumping syndrome, in which food is "dumped" too quickly into the intestines from the stomach.

Suggestions for living without a gallbladder:
If your gallbladder is removed your LIVER will still produce bile.   It won't be the amount that the gallbladder was able to store, but enough.  Eat lower fat foods and smaller portions at each meal.
Diet is extremely important. Eat low-fat, high fiber, organic and healthy. Eliminate refined carbohydrates and hydrogenated oils. For a healthy diet check out my e-book: Optimum Health Strategies...Doing What Works.

Liver Flush - Every four months a liver flush should be performed. People without gallbladders may develop stones in the liver which will lead to a sluggish liver. Remember that the liver is the main filter of the body.

Parasite Cleanse/Colon Cleanse - Two times a year.

Digestive Enzymes - You will need to take enzymes for the rest of your life in order to digest the good fats (Omega 3) which are essential for good health.

BEST Enzymes you can take if your gallbladder has been removed:

ENZYMES FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD GALLBLADDER REMOVED

Ox Bile is a suitable supplement to the liver’s production of bile. Bile is naturally produced by the body and is used in the process of digestion. Symptoms of constipation and a tan colored stool may indicate that the body’s production of bile is less than optimal.

Ox Bile Extract, 100 mg. Ox Bile supports the pancreas, gall bladder and liver in producing bile salts and helps digest fats. Binds with cholesterol which is then flushed out of the body. Reduces bloating, gas, nausea and pain after a high fat meal. Bile is essential in peristalsis - the wavy action that moves food through the intestines. Enteric coated for release in the intestine.

If you have had your gallbladder removed check other digestive enzymes...They do not contain 100 mg. of Ox Bile Extract!   If you ar going to live well without a gallbladder you should eat a lower fat (include good fats) and take these digestive enzymes!   Robert Jordon Digestive enzymes!
Super Digestive Enzymes!

Reduce chemical overload on the liver (pre-packaged food, personal care products, lawn products, perfumes, cosmetics, etc.)

Drink only filtered water - Try to drink 1/2 of your body weight in ounces of water every day.

Use a Probiotic

Reduce animal intake (meat and dairy) - When consuming animal products make sure they are free-range, organic and hormone-free.

Eliminate white sugar and white flour.

Consume a green drink or pills daily. Dr Schulze Superfood or Super Herbal Greens are a good choice.

Activated Charcoal - Some people have found that this helps with symptoms as it helps to sequester bile acid.  Charcoal also inhibits other nutrients from being absorbed.  Be careful and do not use around food or supplement consumption.

Chinese Bitters

Exercise daily for 30 minutes. Walking is highly suggested.

Sunshine - Get 30 minutes of sunshine on as much of your body as is legal, everyday. Necessary for adequate Vitamin D production.

Following the above suggestions will ensure that your digestive system operates to its fullest and will help to alleviate many of the side-effects from gallbladder removal.

So your gallbladder is gone...that's the past. It's time to move on and educate yourself in getting healthy and feeling better. Following the above suggestions will ensure that your digestive system operates to its fullest and will help to alleviate many of the side-effect from gallbladder removal. You can feel good again after gallbladder surgery, but for most it will mean committing to a total lifestyle change...one that will also be beneficial in keeping the whole body healthy.

As with most disease, prevention is always the best solution, but when disease happens remember that there are always solutions and always hope.

What does the gall bladder do?

The gall bladder stores bile, and releases it in optimum quantities when it is needed. Without your gall bladder, the liver will STILL produce bile, but the bile will leak inside you because it will not have a proper place to go.

What is bile?

The spleen breaks down worn-out red blood cells into bile salts and other substances.   (Even worn out blood cells get used!). Bile salts are normal in the body when in normal amounts.

The liver removes excess bile salts and wastes and sends them to the gall bladder for storage. The liver is the body's principal chemical plant. If a man built a plant to perform all the chemical functions one mans' liver could perform, the plant would cover 500 acres.

While the products are in the gall bladder, water is reabsorbed and so the waste products get more and more concentrated and form bile.

Bile is needed for 3 things:

1.It neutralizes the acid from the stomach (because bile is very alkaline)
2.It breaks down fats so that they can be digested
3.It is a natural laxative for the colon

Living without a gallbladder:

Make sure your liver is in good health.

Before you do the liver cleanse make sure your colon is cleansed.  See cleanse products for more info.

Make sure your diet is low in fats and contains fiber.

Dr. Hulda Clark's Liver Flush.

"Cleansing the liver and gallbladder of gallstones dramatically improves digestion, which is the basis of your whole health. You can expect your allergies to disappear, too, more with each cleanse you do! Incredibly, it also eliminates shoulder, upper arm, and upper back pain. You have more energy and increased sense of well being.  You should make sure you have done a colon cleanse prior to attempting the liver and gallbladder flush.  The liver and gallbladder flush is a sure way to improve your energy.    The colon cleanse readies the colon for all the toxins the liver is going to flush out.  If the colon is not running efficiantly the toxins will be re-absorbed into the colon and then back into the blood.  This is what makes us lethargic and gives us low energy levels.  Results are dramatic.

 

It is the job of the liver to make bile, 1 to 1.5 quarts in a day! The liver is full of tubes (biliary tubing) that deliver the bile to one large tube (the common bile duct). The gallbladder is attached to the common bile duct and acts as a storage reservoir.   Eating fat or protein triggers the gallbladder to squeeze itself empty after about twenty minutes, and the stored bile finishes its trip down the common bile duct to the intestine.

For many persons, including children, the biliary tubing from the gallbladder is choked with gallstones. Some develop allergies or hives but some have no symptoms. When the gallbladder is scanned or X-rayed nothing is seen. Typically, they are not in the gallbladder. Not only that, most are too small and not calcified, a prerequisite for visibility on an X-ray. There are over half a dozen varieties of gallstones, most of which have cholesterol crystals in them. They can be black, red, white, green or tan colored. The green ones get their color from being coated with bile. 

At the very center of each stone is found a clump of bacteria, according to scientists, suggesting a dead bit of parasite might have started the stone forming.

As the stones grow and become more numerous the back pressure on the liver causes it to make less bile. Imagine the situation if your garden hose had marbles in it. Much less water would flow, which in turn would decrease the ability of the hose to squirt out the marbles. With gallstones, much less cholesterol leaves the body, and cholesterol levels rise. 

Gallstones, being porous, can pick up all the bacteria, cysts, viruses and parasites that are passing through the liver. In this way "nests" of infection are formed, forever supplying the body with fresh bacteria. No stomach infection such as ulcers or intestinal bloating can be cured permanently without removing these gallstones from the liver.

Preparation

  • You can't clean a liver with living parasites in it. You won't get out many stones, and will feel quite sick.  Or get through the first three weeks of the parasite killing program before attempting a liver cleanse. If you are on a parasite maintenance program, do a high dose program the week before.   make sure you have done a proper colon cleanse as well.
  • Completing a kidney cleanse before cleansing the liver is also recommended. You want your kidneys, bladder and urinary tract in top working condition so they can efficiently remove any undesirable substances incidentally absorbed from the intestine as the bile is being excreted.

  • Do any dental work if possible. Your mouth should be metal free and bacteria free (cavitations are cleaned). A toxic mouth can put a heavy load on the liver, burdening it immediately after cleansing. Eliminate that problem first for best results.  you want an efficient working gallbladder to help remove chloresterol and fats from your system.

    Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse flush.    NO surgery!!!

    Ingredients

     

    1/2 CupOlive Oil Extra Virgin  (= 1.25 dl) 

    1 Big grapefruit (2 small) (Or 3 lemons)

    4 tablespoon EPSOM salts =  ( MgSO4 + 7H2O) 

    (EPSOM salts  = Magnesium Sulphate =  EPSOMITE = Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate)

    3 cups water (=750 dl)

    (P.S .!! 1 cup = 250 ml = 2.5 dl = 0.25 l )

     

    Choose a day like Saturday for the cleanse, since you will be able to rest the next day.

    Take no medicines, vitamins or pills that you can do without; they could prevent success. Stop the parasite program and kidney herbs too, the day before.

    Eat a no-fat breakfast and lunch such as cooked cereal with fruit, fruit juice, bread and preserves or honey (no butter or milk), baked potato or other vegetables with salt only. Eating ZERO fat  allows the bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver. Higher pressure pushes out more stones.  Very Important.

    2:00 PM. Do not eat or drink after 2 o'clock. If you break this rule you could feel quite ill later. Get your Epsom salts ready. Mix 4 tbs. in 3 cups water and pour this into a jar. This makes four servings, 3/4 (three fourths) cup each. Set the jar in the refrigerator to get ice cold (this is for convenience and taste only).

    6:00 PM. Drink one serving 3/4 (three fourths cup) of the ice cold Epsom salts. If you did not prepare this ahead of time, mix 1 tbs. in 3/4 (three fourth) cup water now. You may add 1/8 (one eight) tsp. vitamin C powder to improve the taste. You may also drink a few mouthfuls of water afterwards or rinse your mouth. Get the olive oil (ozonated, if possible) and grapefruit out to warm up.

     

    8:00 PM. Repeat by drinking another 3/4 (three fourths) cup of Epsom salts.You haven't eaten since two o'clock, but you won't feel hungry. Get your bedtime chores done. The timing is critical for success.

    9:45 PM. Pour 1/2 (half) cup (measured) olive oil into the pint jar. Add 2 drops HCl to sterilize. Wash grapefruit twice in hot water and dry; squeeze by hand into the measuring cup. Remove pulp with fork. You should have at least 1/2 (half) cup, more (up to 3/4 (three fourths) cup) is best. You may use part lemonade. Add this to the olive oil. Also add Black Walnut Tincture. Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake hard until watery (only fresh grapefruit juice does this).

    Now visit the bathroom one or more time, even if it makes you late for your ten o'clock drink. Don't be more than 15 minutes late. You will get fewer stones.

    10:00 PM. Drink the potion you have mixed. Take 4 ornithine capsules with the first sips to make sure you will sleep through the night. Take 8 if you already suffer from insomnia. Drinking through a large plastic straw helps it go down easier. You may use oil and vinegar salad dressing, or straight honey to chase it down between sips. Have these ready in a tablespoon on the kitchen counter. Take it all to your bedside if you want, but drink it standing up. Get it down within 5 minutes (fifteen minutes for very elderly or weak persons).

    Lie down immediately. You might fail to get stones out if you don't. The sooner you lie down the more stones you will get out. Be ready for bed ahead of time. Don't clean up the kitchen. As soon as the drink is down walk to your bed and lie down flat on your back with your head up high on the pillow. Try to think about what is happening in the liver. Try to keep perfectly still for at least 20 minutes. You may feel a train of stones traveling along the bile ducts like marbles. There is no pain because the bile duct valves are open (thank you Epsom salts!). Go to sleep, you may fail to get stones out if you don't.

    Next morning. Upon awakening take your third dose of Epsom salts. If you have indigestion or nausea wait until it is gone before drinking the Epsom salts. You may go back to bed. Don't take this potion before 6:00 am.

    2 Hours Later. Take your fourth (the last) dose of Epsom salts. You may go back to bed again.

     

    After 2 More Hours you may eat. Start with fruit juice. Half an hour later eat fruit. One hour later you may eat regular food but keep it light. By supper you should feel recovered.

    How well did you do?

    Expect diarrhea in the morning.
