Gallbladder disease is a major cause of digestive problems who are in hospital. Did you know that approximately 10% of the population (on average) in many western countries have gallstones? Most of them are "silent", but about 4% of patients with stones develop symptoms each year. For about half of them, the symptoms again within 12 months. More men than women suffer from acute inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis), while more women than men experienceGallstones (men have more kidney stones) and married women with children are more calculations than unmarried women. The term "gallbladder disease" is misleading in some respects, because it 's, bile ducts of the liver and gallbladder, the system that your body does to digest fat, and all the problems are likely to involve the form of the gall bladder .
I've always said that doctors typically see problems such as health conditions requiring medication with symptoms, while the surgeons to see the health problems, such asDictate the conditions, the knife, and when a patient is admitted with abdominal pain, surgeons are often eager to remove the gallbladder because it is believed that 'is of little use "and that the patient" live well without them. "The idea is ridiculous and very wrong, though, and I want you to think twice about the fact that your gall bladder removed because more than half the people I saw that his gall bladder removed was still the same digestive problems, have startedunresolved with the first, but now without their gallbladder. Once it's there for a purpose, like any institution with which you were born with the gall bladder removed and will affect your health in some degree. In some patients removal of the gallbladder had a great impact on their health on track. For others, it was a small incident.
A surgeon I once talked to a lot of years ago said that the operation was often carried to the gallbladderin the leading hospitals of the younger surgeons, "they get up to speed" in the operating room. He said there is a relatively simple operation for a period of 30-40 minutes trying to collect surgical experience before moving on to "bigger and better things" as far as had abdominal surgery. I can not help wondering if the whole gall bladder surgery really necessary, because they are so fast, are those days. The first is an apprentice mechanicintroduced to the motor learning to replace the spark plug before working deeper into the engine. If the plugs were removed, thoroughly cleaned and then replaced will usually last long. But then again, today, more than half of the things we buy are made in China and is "thrown" when it is just a little 'break!
What is the function of the gall bladder?
The main function of the gallbladder is to collect and concentrate the bile produced by the liver, the organuses to digest fats. Think a bit of bile 'as if it were liquid dishwashing detergent. Have you ever tried to wash the dishes with grease or fat on them in water without detergent? It's not really effective? Last but not least, to spray a little dishwashing liquid in warm water, they must be clean in no time. Your gallbladder is a lot of their type of bile "liquid" called. Bile is up to twelve times more concentrated in the gallbladder (and therefore more effective)as was the liver. Think about it, away with the gallbladder, the liver must now save and take to secrete bile. You can do this, but do not go as efficiently as possible, without small bag at his side called the gall bladder.
The liver is to emulsify between 600 and 900 ml of bile a day, and what is not sent during the meal into the duodenum (the beginning of the small intestine) directly on the main channel fatty liver, is diverted through a smaller pipe (off theMain hepatic duct) to the gallbladder for storage until use. When fat (where most of the food you eat is absorbed and digested) in one meal reaches the duodenum, the hormones enter the circulation and, together with the nerve signals that stimulate the gallbladder to contract. This decline is supported by the contractions of the small intestine, gall bladder induces circular muscle is small and the stored bile into the duodenum led, where food from the stomach and pancreatic juice into the mixPancreas through the pancreatic duct. If you have a meal rich in fats (fish and chips for example) to eat your gall bladder is completely empty within an hour. It is this combination of bile and fats that make you feel "sick" can sometimes be after a high fat meal.
Bile consists of water, salts, fatty acids, lecithin, cholesterol, bilirubin, and mucus and has two main functions. The first task is to help the absorption and digestion of fats, and second, to eliminate some wasteProduced by the body, especially the excess cholesterol and hemoglobin from worn out red blood cells, which have an average life of 3 months.
In particular, bile
(1) increases the solubility of fat-soluble vitamins, fats and cholesterol to help absorption,
(2) stimulates the secretion of water from the intestine to move along their contents,
(3) is a means of excretion of bilirubin (bile pigment principal) as a waste product of destroyed red blood cells,other waste materials, drugs and their degradation products and other toxins.
In fact, bile salts are absorbed in the small intestine and after the extraction of bile from the liver expelled. All bile salts in the back of the body in circulation about 10 to 12 times a day with the help of these so-called enterohepatic circulation. In each round, small amounts of bile salts enter the colon, where bacteria degrade it for excretion in the faeces.

Signs and symptoms of gall bladder problems
I have many women who have seen the clinic for years and never made us feel very comfortable with his digestion. Many have a low degree of discomfort, digestive discomfort, which was established for indigestion, constipation or diarrhea or even a "grumbling appendix" experts. They go on for years and yearsmay have digestive symptoms and not realize that they are linked to a gall bladder problem. This is because it says so interconnected with other digestive disorders, and too easy for their doctors, are: "You're right, there is nothing to fear." Constipation is one of the most commonly overlooked, and so is farting. He is not here to be embarrassed, we all fart, enjoy some men (and many younger children) have on it, but women do it anyway and are usually totally confused.Flatus is most often in bed when you are on the first, during the night or when you get up. This is because the bowel has changed its position and the gas escapes easily through the anus to the colon in a horizontal rather than vertical position. Do not laugh, but you know sometimes I feel fat and sloppy and sometimes farty "sicky" after eating a fatty meal like fish and chips or chocolate? Your friend joke about how "fun"? Then you may very well one gall bladderOutput.
The four F
Have you seen the four F? We learn when you study medicine, that women are "fat, fertile, forty, and flatulence" is often the girls gall bladder. They are much more prone to gallstones or a sluggish liver and gall bladder. The above list may be gall bladder related, but keep in mind that there could be something else. The first four of these symptoms are indicative of gall bladder problems. It is not necessaryall have many symptoms or have gallbladder problems, but the more you have is from this list, as confirmation that you have your gallbladder is involved. Please note, however, consult your doctor for an accurate diagnosis.

It is really great in itself an important risk factor in gall bladder problems, and women with a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or higher are more than twice as likely in women with a BMI of 25 or less. Although weight lossreduces the risk of gallstones, there is a 15 percent to 25 gallstones during or immediately after the weight loss! I have seen this with patients over the years, have lost weight and we are proud just to digestive problems and then a bad attack of pain within 12 to 18 months of experience in weight loss. A study of great heart in America found that women with type 2 diabetes almost twice as likely (41.8 percent compared to 23.1 werePercent) who are not diabetic have gallstones, and the risk was highest among the group from 30 to 59yr old.
I always ask a person, these standard questions when they come in a (presumed) gall bladder dysfunction - "Have you lost weight recently, say in the last two years?" "You have a fat free diet recently?" "What kind of food / drink you can have routinely?" Put through the right questions, you'd be surprised how many actually tell what's wrong with them,and their answers with the right point in the heart of the problem. In my observation are the main factors that lead to gallbladder attacks, obesity and disorders (and rapid weight loss (for example1 pounds per week), "fat free" diets are really bad.
Poor eating habits - particularly too many fatty foods and fried foods, alcohol, too much dairy products like cheese and whole milk, refined sugar and starch, high-protein foods (excess), food allergies, parasites, use long term birth controlPills and a sedentary (couch potato) lifestyle. The Atkins diet craze is causing many problems to the gallbladder, for example. Once these factors are in operation, the bile produced by the liver and flows through the bile ducts in the gall bladder is too thick, the bile ducts may be blocked, they can form gravel and stones (90% of all stones are cholesterol), and the entire biliary tree may be added. Other contributing factors include inadequate water consumption, a weak immune systemSystem (increases the probability of infection in the gallbladder), and diabetes and various diseases of the liver.
Prevention of gall bladder problems lies in the control of obesity, nutrition and sufficient supply of drinking water and the use of appropriate physical activity. Louise Hay, an interesting woman who wrote the famous book "Heal Your Life" in 1976 with regard to the way in which emotions can trigger physical problems, he said that anger, aggression and bitterness may causeGall bladder problems. Keep your immune system strong and healthy liver and small intestine is very important. Let's take a look at some non-medical alternatives, once the gall bladder problems are evident, and even how to avoid this problem in the first place.
Food Allergies
Can often find and eliminate food allergies stop the frequent attacks of gallbladder pain and avoid unnecessary surgical removal. In one study, the prevention of allergic symptoms in 100% raised to 69Patients with symptomatic gallstones or post-cholecystectomy (after surgery) syndrome (uncontrolled study by Dr. Alan Gaby commented, USA). I'm not convinced, just detecting antibodies in relation to food allergies is the way to go, check out: muscle testing, you know someone who does electro-dermal testing. In both cases, try an elimination diet or allergy, can be the answer to your problems.
For recurrent gallbladder pain - suspected food allergies in just100% of patients. On average, I find that they are responsive to 4 or 5 foods, and according to Dr. Jonathan Wright, one of the most experienced American doctors of natural medicine, the egg is usually always involved one of the major food allergens. There are over 800,000 cholecystectomies (gall bladder surgery) done in the United States each year, it cost $ 5,000 U.S. to perform. If you do the math here, could effective natural medicine $ 4000000000 preventive treatment leisure with gallbladderConditions alone. I can imagine how many of the operations are not needed in New Zealand performed each year, and it's really amazing how many people I've seen who have their gall bladder out, only to discover that does not solve the problem originally went to the doctor for in the first place.
Other methods of medical treatment of the gallbladder are attempts to fragment with sonic shock waves (lithotripsy). Of course there are other times when the intervention can benecessary, as in perforation of the gallbladder (often from gangrene) or if there are non-benign tumors and cancers. All this is what I call "crisis of medicine", so often used in conventional medicine to the clinic to call. It is useful to avoid a gall bladder condition, in the first place, rather than wait for disaster to strike and then to act?

If you have any questions once again, your fourth thoracic vertebra, a little '"dodgey", you could seek the help of a subluxation, which means a slight dislocation (misalignment) or biomechanical dysfunction of the spine (the bones of the spine spine). These disturbances may irritate nerve roots and cause the blood vessels stemming from the spinal cord between each vertebrae, arm, and when this is, what about the middle of the back is made, it could be that yourGallbladder.
Gall bladder removed? - Take bile salts
I always recommend that removes a patient had had their gall bladder bile salts take (digestive enzymes), because the fats and oils are not properly digested and absorbed by these people. I always make bile salts, when I give them, fish oil or vitamin A. Digestive enzymes are essential for those who have their gallbladder removed, they are much better feel for them regularly. Your digestion will improve, their gutWork better and feel less full and bloated. For patients who fail in their diet after gall bladder removal surgery to remove the person leaves with an increased risk of developing cancer of the colon. Although a rapid relief of symptoms can follow this, the relief is often short-lived and the causes are still present. If you have lost your gall bladder, the regular use of bile salts at the beginning of the meal can make a significant contribution, including better treatment ofessential fat-soluble nutrients such as essential fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E and K. Probably the best way to tell if it is enough bile salts is to monitor the color of the chair. If the color is brighter than the normal color brown, or even a light beige or yellow, does not mean that the flow enough bile, with its absorption of essential nutrients in the need for bile salts and more. This need for bile salts is greater than after a meal containing large amounts of fat andOils. Talk to your doctor over here, he or she will recommend a product that should work fine. I in general and digestive enzymes are prescribed by a doctor to be stronger and more effective than retail (food store) products. Therefore, it is classified as a "practitioner-only" products. My website (see resource box) explains more about "physician-only" products.
Useful herbal preparations with liver and gall bladder problems: Swedish bitter, milkThistle, chamomile, peppermint, celandine, Gymnema, gravel root, dandelion root and leaf, radicchio, rhubarb, burdock, cramps bark, ginger, turmeric and fennel.
Homeopathic medicine, a specific homeopathic medicines Chelidonium 30C, and I recommend this agent to patients complaining of right side pain that radiates from the back door, shooting pain in the right shoulder blade. It is intended primarily as a remedy to the liver, but I think it's great forGall bladder disease as well.
Diet
Avoid refined sugars and other refined carbohydrates, because these foods, the increases in certain blood cholesterol saturation of bile is responsible. Gall bladder problems usually do not occur in, among developed countries, are a phenomenon of Western industrial nations. We call this type of health problems, the "diseases of modern civilization." You will notice that our Western diet is highly refined one, most people eat foods fromSupermarkets and our diets are those of refined sugars, starches and flours. Food and drinks to be strictly avoided one of the worst drinks with gall bladder problems, drinking coffee, even decaffeinated, which worsens the symptoms of gall bladder contract together with the sugar. Sugar and coffee alone is not a good idea! I also tell patients of chocolate, fried foods and saturated animal fats to avoid in general. Most tell me they can not tolerate these foods in any case,so listen to your body and avoid doing what feels good or bad.
Food gall bladder, which have a particularly beneficial include beets, Brussels sprouts, fennel, kale, parsley, artichokes, pears, apples, Granny Smith and bitter foods such as arugula, chicory, radicchio and capers.
Consume a little 'of olive oil every day One way to prevent the formation of gallstones is a little' oil, particularly extra virgin olive oil to eat each day, which stimulates the gallbladder to contract andaccumulate every day "sand dump" their contents into the small intestine, to prevent mud and form gallstones.
Treatments
Castor oil hot. All you need is 200 ml of castor oil (try the pharmacy or supermarket), and the old pot, an old cloth, and an old towel. Only hot towel in the old oil pan until it is hot enough, squeeze it and apply it on the area of the gallbladder - a central one bit to the right just near where the ribcage ends. Cover withset old towel, a hot water bottle on top for extra warmth and lie down for 15-20 minutes, then wipe the surface again for 2 minutes with an ice cube in a cloth-three times, once per day for one week can sometimes dissolve gallstones, and in particular a powerful treatment, when used in combination with the wire and dietary approach. Be careful with the castor oil, can be dyed.
Liver and gall bladder flush
There are many different gallbladder and liver flushes that works if you have hadrecurring problems of the gallbladder and your diet is typically Kiwi. You really have to work your way with your health professional such as your doctor here. I have many patients, this procedure has resulted in the last 20 years and have never encountered a problem and must be honest, very rarely find someone with a "too large to pass gallstones", as some fear.
For an "attack" of the gallbladder to try these recipes here are some tips to try with acute pain if the pain does notsubside, seek advice from the doctor.
Drink or 1 tablespoon apple juice in a glass of apple juice (heated). This should alleviate the pain quickly.
In a small cup or ¼ teaspoon turmeric, ¼ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon of Manuka honey and add - at the top with boiling water, stir to dissolve and mix when hot drinks. Take 3 times a day.
Tea or Citrus: 3 cups of tea a day are made by boiling water for 20 minutes in the bowl of a grapefruit.
To stop the future recommendations of the gallbladderAttacks
1 drink every morning "flush gallbladder attacks", (or dilute with water) 300mls apple juice, 3 cloves garlic, finely minced raw garlic, 1-2 inches in the first, finely chopped ginger root, mix well in blender. This drink helps soft mud and helps prepare your gall bladder landfill.
2 Liver and gallbladder flush. A simple rinsing 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil with the juice of a lemon drink before sleeping and after waking up for at least 3 days, or until no more stonespass. I have another washes, but they tend to see in a conversation with the patient only. This is a procedure in my opinion, better not to do at home, without a guide, but get the advice of a qualified physician, preferably with experience in this field.
Make 3 steam at a balanced diet of fruit juice 50% raw foods or in part, fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts / seeds. This low level of saturated fat, high fiber diet is a must for healingGallbladder disease. Flaxseed and olive oil are a great addition to your diet for the repair and prevention of gallstones. Bitter foods (see below) are a great addition and helps prevent the build-up in the future. To consume the food at the top two? - Lemon juice and olive oil.
4 Increased intake of vitamin C can help the gall bladder complaints. Replenish your vitamin C stores by eating plenty of vitamin C rich fruits and vegetables every day. Good sources include peppers(Red / green / yellow), berries, lemon and broccoli / green leafy vegetables. I recommend high-quality powder of vitamin C per day for the prevention and treatment of many conditions of the body.
5 products Herbal Detoxification may be useful for halting and reversing a gallbladder attack. I suggest using formulas using organic, whole herbs. There are some great products available, just ask your herbalist and naturopath.
3 tips for gallstones after they are gone,
or Dr. DickVersendaal, a chiropractor recommended by the United States its "technical carotid cord". For best results, it is to be used every 15 minutes for 1-3 hours as follows (it is easier if someone else does to you when you try to do it yourself) with your index finger, apply a uniform pressure on the key belly for 5 minutes, such as printing navel 1-1 ½ inches (but not pain). Do this once a day to be delivered to the stones for a maximum of 12 weeks, which will help your gall bladder aAmount.
Company or rubbing for at least 30 seconds1-2 times a day, the neuro-lymphatic reflex (these points can be very delicate, if you have any questions, gall bladder) between the ribs 3 and 4, and the ribs 4 and 5, almost every page the sternum and ribs between the five six just below the nipple of her right breast can be very useful.
maintaining or too soft (without pressing or rubbing) for at least 1 minute to the fontanel neurovascular reflex (weak before the baby's headnear the crown of the head to locate the tip of the middle finger when the wrist in both hands are the eyebrows and the middle finger extended to the midline of the skull) and the hairline on the forehead just above the outer corner of each eye. Look for the "pressure points", you will find them.
