Acalculous Gallbladder Disease (Gallbladder Disorders)

Acalculous gallbladder disease, or acute acalculous cholecystitis, is a condition that causes inflammation of the gallbladder without the presence of gallstones. This is a severe illness that can be triggered by complications arising from other medical conditions, trauma, or long term illness. 

Symptoms
Some of the main acalculous gallbladder disease symptoms include upper abdominal pain, vomiting, shortness of breath, fever, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, chills, upset stomach, gallbladder abscess or gangrene, and increased white blood cell count. 

 

 Root Causes
  • Acalculous gallbladder disease can range from severe to chronic and is more common in people who have some form of significant illness. Other causes or risk factors can include severe trauma, severe burns or tissue injury, cardiac arrest, heart surgery, bacterial or viral illness, shock, malignancy, diabetes mellitus, long-term starvation, drastic weight loss.

Predisposing Factors:

  • Severe inflammation of the gallbladder
  • A build-up of pressure in the gallbladder from stasis, a lack of normal flow of bile
  • Ischemia, meaning a lack of adequate oxygenation in the gallbladder wall
  • Bacterial growth in the gallbladder, which can occur when bile stops flowing properly
  • Decreased function of gallbladder emptying, hypokinetic biliary dyskinesia, which may be from a variety of factors including hormone-related, vasculitis, and decreased nerve innervation from conditions such as diabetes.


Nutritional Support Items
  • Alfalfa (NS Green Max): Cleanses the liver and supplies necessary vitamins and minerals. Take 1,000 milligrams in tablet or capsule form with a glass of warm water, twice a day for two days.
  • Essential fatty acid complex (NS Omega Complete) Important constituents of every living cell. Needed for repair and prevention of gallstones. Take as directed on label.
  • 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 HepaDetox): Aids in digestion if too little bile is secreted from the gallbladder. Ox bile is needed especially if you have had gallbladder removal surgery. Caution: Do not give this supplement to a child. If you have a history of ulcers, do not use a formula containing HCl. Take as directed on label. Take before meals.
  • 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.

Whole Food Sources and Spices

The foods below can help reduce gallbladder distress because overall they’re easier for the body to digest, contain only natural fats and supply important nutrients, like antioxidants and fiber:

  • High-fiber foods — Aim for 30–40 grams of fiber per day, which can help reduce the risk of gallstones.
  • Good sources of fiber that support digestion are soaked/sprouted beans and legumes, nuts, seeds along with fresh veggies and fruit.
  • Beets, artichoke and dandelion greens — These vegetables especially help support liver health with detoxifying effects and can improve bile flow, which breaks down fat. You can also consume more fresh  produce from making your own vegetable juices or smoothies.
  • Try to add potassium-rich foods like avocado, leafy greens, tomato, sweet potato and bananas.
  • Unrefined healthy fats (including olive or coconut oil) — Coconut oil contains one of the easiest forms of fat for the body to digest, called medium-chained fatty acids. I recommend consuming healthy fats in small amounts over the course of the day, only about one tablespoon of oil at one time or about two tablespoons of sprouted nuts and seeds. This is because you don’t want to overconsume fats, which puts more stress on the liver and gallbladder. Extra virgin olive oil is another anti-inflammatory fat with many benefits.
  • Sprouted nuts and seeds — Sprouted flax, chia, hemp and pumpkin seeds are easier to digest and can reduce inflammation, but only consume one to two tablespoons of sprouted nuts and seeds at a time.
  • A diet high in plants, including raw foods — People who eat a gallbladder diet high in raw plants like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds tend to have lower occurrence of gallstones. These foods are naturally high in water, electrolytes, antioxidants and fiber but low in salt and fats. Consuming a vegetarian diet is also associated with decreased gallstone risk, as is avoiding processed meats or allergenic dairy foods.
  • Lean protein foods — Including lean sources of organic protein in a gallbladder diet can relieve stress.
  • Consider chicken, turkey, grass-fed beef, bison, wild-caught fish and organic protein powder, including protein from bone broth powder.

On the other hand, gallbladder problem foods to avoid on a gallbladder diet include:

  • Fried foods and hydrogenated oils — Fast foods, processed oils, and fatty packaged meats or cheese can be some of the hardest foods to properly digest. To cut the amount of unhealthy fats in your diet, reduce intake of lunch/deli meats, convenience foods like chips or cookies, salami and other cured meats, pork products, processed dairy, and conventional, grain-fed animal meat.
  • Sugar and simple carbohydrates — Sugar can increase the likelihood the gallstones due to weight gain and inflammation.
  • Foods you might be allergic to — Gallbladder problems are potentially related to food allergies.
  • Potential allergens include dairy products, gluten, shellfish, peanuts or nightshade vegetables.
  • Conventional dairy products — These foods are pro-inflammatory and can cause your body to produce more gallstones. This includes cheese, ice cream, pizza, etc.
  • High-fat meals — It’s been found that gallbladder attacks often follow heavy meals, and they usually occur in the evening or during the night. Any food high in fat can potentially worsen gallbladder issues, especially unhealthy fat. This applies most to refined vegetable oils (like sunflower, safflower, canola, corn, etc.) but can also include even healthy vegetables oils like olive oil in some cases — or even things like almond butter. While having some healthy fats is important, portion control is key. If symptoms become worse when eating even healthy fats, further reduce how much you have at one time, or try another type of fat instead.

Bio-Energetic Balancing Remedies Suggestions

Run a Liver/GB scan and address the items found as balancing energies.  Use the Search Criteria to add symptoms by setting the Search Criteria to Description and searching the various symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.) and scanning and adding 3-5 balancing energies per symptom.  Also, use the Search Criteria and set the Type to Item and add the above listed homeopathics.

Imprint into a Gallbladder remedy and into the laser and laser the area over the Gallbladder.  It is wise to have the individual on a gallbladder drainage remedy (Hydrangea, Milk Thistle, Dandelion, etc.) prior to using the laser.

***You can collect vomit or diarrhea on a Q-tip and perform Isotherapy and add to the imprint as well.
