7:04 Remedies for gallbladder removal symptoms
In this video, we’re going to talk about the side effects of gallbladder removal. You can live a long, healthy life without a gallbladder, but unfortunately, 40% of people who’ve had their gallbladder removed end up with persistent pain and symptoms for a year or more.
Some of the common symptoms associated with gallbladder removal include the following:
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Anal leakage
• Fullness under the right rib cage
• Right shoulder pain
• Collins’ sign pain
The gallbladder is an extension of the liver that holds and concentrates bile. Every time you eat, it contracts and releases bile into the small intestine. Bile begins to break down fat, allowing the pancreas to further break down fat by releasing an enzyme called lipase.
Bile is critical for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, E, D, and K, as well as essential fatty acids. Bile also helps you get rid of excess cholesterol.
A gallstone is a concentrated cholesterol stone that forms due to low bile. This is why bile salts are used as a remedy for gallstones.
If you’re low in bile salts, your liver will make more bile and cholesterol. Seventy-five percent of all the cholesterol in your body is made by your body. Only 25% of your cholesterol comes from the diet.
Here are some of the causes of bile deficiency:
• Estrogen (birth control pills, pregnancy)
• Stress
• Prednisone
• Diabetes
• High-carb diets
• High body weight
• Liver disease (fatty liver, cirrhosis, hepatitis)
• Low-fat diets
• PPIs
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Low melatonin
If you’ve had your gallbladder removed and you’re having symptoms, here are a few things that you can try:
•Gentle acupressure
•Bile salts after eating
•TUDCA for bile sludge
•Betaine hydrochloride to acidify the stomach
•Increase melatonin (infrared rays, improve sleep)
•Milk thistle, beets, dandelion greens, artichokes
If you have diarrhea, bile salts may worsen your problem. Follow a low-carb, moderate-fat, moderate-protein diet if you’re dealing with symptoms from gallbladder removal.

Wish I’d never had gall bladder removed- docs did tests and said it was low functioning-must come out. Surgeon got the gall bladder and also “accidentally” totally severed my main bile duct! This was not detected until almost a week later (duct had a clip on the severed end or I likely would not be here). Long, expensive road to recovery after many more tests and procedures plus major surgery to build a work around for the bile duct function.

After 8 years of excruciating abdominal pain and other abdominal area issues, my gallbladder was removed (packed w/stones; some the size of a quarter). I was 55 and followed a strict low fat diet combined with excessive exercise. Anyway, my issues immediately stopped. Fortunately I had zero post surgery issues. I’m now 73 and still issue free. Blood tests show healthy liver and kidneys. I follow Dr. Bergs advice. Diet, exercise, vitamins.

@@theresadavis-bowling2808 Full disclosure and honesty here; my surgery was in 2006. I was never instructed on post cholecystectomy diet, however I followed what I thought was moderately clean eating. Nothing strict, no fad dieting…just normal moderation choices…(what I thought of as healthy). I’d never heard of Keto back then. I still haven’t tried Keto yet, but you should know your liver will still make enough bile to digest your food without a gallbladder. Instead of bile being stored in the gallbladder now, it drips continuously into your digestive system. I hope you have an easy recovery.

Had my gall bladder removed when I was in my 30ths. The dr came to my room and said I had 30 large stones, and they didn't count the medium or smaller stones. Was given NO information on what was to occur --- I'm now 86 and have had NO problems. (did suffer 10 years prior to the surgery, was told I had an ulcer). So now I tell myself they didn't know much back then. I was cut from the middle of my stomach to the hip. Now they have 4 - 5 small holes. I do not have much love for doctors.

@firelakie 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the information. I had a GB attack after doing uninformed intermittent fasting. I chose to keep my gall bladder because everything was back to normal after the large stone passed. I ate less fatty foods and more veg. Two years later, I took the medicine for the other big ‘c’ after getting it from a relative’s exposure. Gallstones is one of the side effects of the medication. Hospital let me sit in pain for a day, passing the stones, having pancreatitis before giving painkillers. Again, they tried to railroad me into removal surgery and something inside told me it wasn’t right. Even the nurses who cared for me quietly advised not to do it. I went home after arguing with teams(yes, TEAMS) of doctors coming by to pressure me into surgery. I realized surgeries were down and the docs wanted to really perform one for their residents😂. Got a second opinion from a GI doc who prescribed some stone breaking drug and another surgeon. By then it’s been months and I was back to normal. That was nearly three years ago. Eating better and staying away from unnecessary medications for me has helped tremendously. I’ve only had my seasonal allergies and one cold during all of this time since 2020.

Struggled with gall bladder attacks and stopped all dairy and artificial sweeteners. Watched all fatty oils closely. …found I can consume “organic” dairy without having an attack. Also was able to consume “organic” beef, without having an attack. Vinegar and fresh squeezed lemon is part of every day meal planning. I can not tolerate fast food. Which is kinda sad, as I miss the idea of a breakfast sandwich and hash browns, but two bites in…and I already feel the warning signals. I need to keep my gall bladder for a future time when the hospital needs a reason to take me in.

My daughter developed IBS and panic attacks after her gull bladder was removed at the age of 14. It just stopped working out of the blue, no rhyme or reason. She was on Paxil for about a year, but didn't want to take it anymore. She also developed (discovered maybe) that she has a gluten and lactose allergy. She suffered a lot in her teen years until she finally got a handle on it with digestive enzymes and watching her diet. Thank the Lord she's doing much better now. Prayers to those who are dealing with these issues!

Dr Berg! I had major pressure & pain on my gall bladder when i found your videos. Definitely had a problem starting there. I bought your gallbladder formula and all the pain went away. After i finished the bottle there was no problems. A few months later, it started to feel pressure there again so i went the cheap method and just bought some oxbile on amazon. It sorta worked and releived pressure but would come back a couple days later. After going that route like 2 months till the oxbile was gone, the problem still persisted. So i had to get another one of your blends. This was like 2 months ago. After just a week, your mix had once again made all signs of the problem gone again.

Almost 30 years ago,I had my gb removed. However, the doctor accidentally cut the main bile duct, causing bile to leak into the abdomen. During a reoperation, part of my intestine was stitched up to the liver. They also mentioned there was inflammation in the gb and I didn’t need it. I’m incredible grateful to have survived. However, I still experience gallbladder pain, which now manifests in my liver. Thank you for always useful knowledge😊

I had my gall bladder out 29 years ago and was told exactly that, you don’t need it! Knowing what I’ve learnt now I am wishing I still had it. Strict high fat carnivore now, 2 years. Took me 6-8 months to adapt to all that fat and now I am fine. Just the occasional issue but feel much better now.

Me too. Had my gallbladder removed 22 years ago. Just recently I started month seven on carnivore and my digestive system is finally coming around. First month was absolute hell! The fats would just run right through me. Basically I couldn’t leave the house for long periods. I almost abandoned the diet but marched on. Glad I did. I still struggle with bacon have been avoiding it. Feel best on the lion diet. Eggs with a couple tablespoons of butter once in a while seems to be okay. However, nothing replaces consistently eating ribeye, porterhouse, or 73/27 ground beef.

Since then, I took your info on board, changed my diet and eating habits radically and yesterday, after receiving a call from our health service, cancelled my operation to remove my gallbladder because of the good advise you gave. I Feel good with no similar occurrence for over 2 years and many thanks for your info. As a by-product, a more needy somebody else, can move up the queue to have their particular operation.

Husband had GB attacks - very painful, crippling. First attack, the hospital gave him pain killer ( he gets very sick on that , but told him what problem was. He went back a week later for another attack. They left him in the hall vomiting from pain because they figured he just wanted to abuse the pain killer situation- even though they knew what pain it was from . Just said he needed to line up the surgery. Where is the empathy in the medical system ? He did get it done . Thanks a lot !! Oh and the drain tube ? The nurse said “ sorry this is going to hurt” as she literally yanked that tube out of his side ! That was in Whiting Indiana. Very bad hospital

Wow! I’m always learning more and more from you than I ever have from all my doctors throughout my life. I have had stomach issues since I can remember. It started more so when I fell off my back deck steps on a rainy slippery Sunday morning. I hit the 8th step, busted 3 ribs, and collapsed a lung. In shock even drove myself to hospital. Returned back to work, 2 1/2 months later, but was still having pain on my right side. Everyone kept telling me it’s just your ribs are still healing, but the pain kept getting worse. Three hospitals later, only one suspected it was my gallbladder. They referred me to see this gallbladder specialist, with all these appointments, it seems like it was forever of getting any help for this. Omg eight months later, the doctor says to me, I’ll never forget this, oh I see you’re still holding your side? I’m thinking, REALLY?? Did he just say that? I’ve been in agonizing pain working through work with this, and he says I see you’re still holding your side? He says because your gallbladder is only working 3%, and it has to come out.. I still remember that pain. This is why I do things naturally, to what’s put on this Earth to heal our bodies. I just wish you were around back then for me .. IBS/ulcerative colitis. I can’t have gluten or dairy. I have huge gut problems to the point of not wanting to eat. So it sounds like I need to start with Bile salts then first? If that doesn’t work then, TUDCA. THANK YOU very much, for helping, and educating us on getting to the root cause, to live our lives pain free. 🥰👍

A year and a half ago my gut dysbiosis got so bad that I had complete gut paralysis. I could feel the existing food in my intestines turning putrid. I immediately started a prolonged fast then followed Dr. Berg's protocol of ox bile, betaine HCL and TUDCA. After the everything cleared out I felt a gurgling followed by relief around my gallbladder, I started being able to digest food again and within two months I had good digestion. Pay close attention, these videos are life savers.

I did fine for about 10 years and then I started having issues at the same time as perimenopause started. It got worse as I entered actual menopause. My doctor recommended taking digestive enzymes. They have done wonders. No more bouts of diarrhea or heartburn. No more aching feeling on my right side under my rib cage.

I had my gallbladder removed maybe... 10 years ago? I had to be rushed to the ER about 5 times for gallbladder attacks (stones)... so painful, one doctor lady told me the pain is worse than giving childbirth. I had a laparoscopic surgery and I've had no side effects. I can eat anything. OK, maybe I digest food a little bit slower, since I now rely on the constant drip, rather that purging all of it from the gallbladder at once. But honestly, I couldn't be happier. I hear that some may suffer from prolonged pain, but I'm all good. You might want to eat a just a little bit smaller portions at a time, but that's beneficial for everyone. I don't really watch for anything different than before. I guess I got lucky with a good doctor and a good surgery. If you're dealing with the option now, I would of course opt for the stone breakup if it can be successful, however. Surgery should always be the last option.
