Gallstones (Gallbladder Disorders)

Gallstones: Abnormal stone-like mass, usually of undissolved cholesterol, formed in the gallbladder. This causes sudden severe pain in upper right side of the abdomen. Gallstones are hard deposits that can form in your gallbladder, which can potentially block the flow of bile and cause serious symptoms. High fiber foods, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and consuming low-fat dairy may help resolve symptoms and reduce the risk of gallstones returning.

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ beneath the liver in the upper right abdomen. It stores bile, a green-yellow liquid that helps digest fat. During the digestion process, your gallbladder releases bile through a duct into the small intestines.

Symptoms

They are asymptomatic in most cases. The common symptoms include:

  • Sudden pain in the right upper part of the abdomen, which is commonly severe few hours after food
  • Fever
  • Severe pain in the upper middle part of the abdomen
  • Right shoulder tip
  • Pain in between the shoulder blades

 

Root Causes
Gallstones may form if bile contains too much cholesterol, too much bilirubin, or not enough bile salts. Excess cholesterol in your blood is the leading cause of gallstones. Some of the other common reasons include metabolic disorders, obesity, diabetes, Cholesterol-lowering drugs, and Chronic stress.

 

Nutritional Support Items
  • Alfalfa (NS Green Max): Cleanses the liver and supplies necessary vitamins and minerals. Take 2 Capsules 2 to 4 times daily
  • Essential fatty acid complex (NS Omega Complete): Important constituents of every living cell. Needed for repair and prevention of gallstones. Take 2 - 4 Capsules daily
  • Lecithin: (TE Lypo) A fat emulsifier; aids digestion of fats. For granules, take 1 tbsp 3 times daily, before meals. For capsules, take 1,200 mg 3 times daily, before meals.
  • L-glycine: Essential for the biosynthesis of nucleic and bile acids. Take 500 mg daily, on an empty stomach. Take with water or juice. Do not take with milk. Take with 50 mg vitamin B6 and 100 mg vitamin C for better absorption.
  • Magnesium (NS Magnesium Complex): May reduce insulin levels that are associated with gallbladder disease. Take Up to 350 mg daily.
  • Multienzyme complex with ox bile (EQ Hepa Detox): Aids in digestion if too little bile is secreted from the gallbladder. Ox bile is needed, especially if you have had gallbladder removal surgery. Take 2 - 4 capsules daily
  • Vitamin A with carotenoids: Needed for repair of tissues. Use emulsion form for easier assimilation. Take up to 3,000 mcg (10,000 IU) daily. If you are pregnant, do not exceed 3,000 mcg (10,000 IU) daily. 
  • Vitamin B complex, plus extra vitamin B12, and choline and inositol (NS Choline & Inositol): All B vitamins are necessary for proper digestion. Important in cholesterol metabolism and liver and gallbladder function. Use a high-potency formula of Vitamin B complex and take 50 mg of each major B vitamin (thiamine and riboflavin) 3 times daily, with meals. Do not exceed 35 mg niacin, 100 mg vitamin B6, and 1,000 mcg folate daily. For extra vitamin B12, take 2,000 mcg daily. For choline, take 500 mg daily. For inositol, take 500 mg daily.
  • Vitamin C with bioflavonoids (NS Liposomal Vitamin C): Deficiency can lead to gallstones. Take up to 2,000 mg daily.
  • Vitamin D: Gallbladder malfunction interferes with vitamin D absorption. Take 10 mcg (400 IU) daily.
  • Vitamin E: Prevents fats from becoming rancid. Use d-alpha-tocopherol form. Take 90 mg (200 IU) daily.

     Home Remedies
    • Avoid junk food completely.
    • Eat nuts which contain unsaturated fats.
    • Cut down carbohydrates.
    • Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day.
    • Most gallbladder flushes involve fasting and then consuming olive oil. Consuming healthy fats like olive oil triggers the gallbladder to release bile.  Because bile breaks down gallstones, it can make stones smaller and easier to pass.  However, any other healthy fat would have the same benefit — and you wouldn’t need to fast first.
    • Gallbladder flushes often also prescribe lemon juice, apple juice and/or magnesium.  Lemon juice has some terpenes and apple juice contains malic acid, both of which may help dissolve gallstones.
    • Magnesium can help muscles relax so passing gallstones is easier.
