Gall bladders

Unread post by fakeologist »

Phone rings 📞 “We need to schedule you for surgery, I recommend you have your gallbladder removed”

That’s what my GI Specialist said one year ago. She continued to tell me that my ultrasound revealed “gallbladder sludge” and some “small stones”

My first gut reaction was huge resistance “They ain’t taking out my body parts! God created me with those body parts and I’m sure they’re important for a reason”

Every medical professional and every “mainstream” medical website assured me that it’s perfectly fine and no, you do not need your gallbladder.

So I decided to look into it deeper before making a decision.

I found out that gallbladder removal is one of the most common procedures in the United States, with more than 1.2 million cholecystectomies done each year.

If you’re having pain or discomfort… out it goes.

That’s the protocol.

They can do it laparoscopically thru a tiny hole minimally invasive if you schedule it, or if you’re unlucky enough to go to the ER in acute attack, depending who is on duty, they might split you wide open with a major/risky surgery.

If you Google it you find things like “you can live completely normal life after gallbladder removal, and there aren’t usually any long-term effects”

They all say you just don’t need this pesky gallbladder BUT that just doesn’t sit right with me.

All the medical professionals and articles warn you about waiting to treat the gallbladder. It’s dangerous to wait. It could cause MEGA PROBLEMS, even life threatening.

What they mean is remove it now. Do not wait.

But the keyword is “TREAT”.

Of course I want to treat it. But your ONLY option of treatment is REMOVAL? That still doesn’t seem right to me.

So I decided to find out what exactly does the gallbladder do? Maybe I can be convinced I don’t really need it?

I start learning that the gallbladder is really a storage area. It stores bile your liver creates and releases it when needed to properly digest food, especially fats, and also to carry toxins out of your body.

So I’m like ok, so if we take away the storage area, will my body still be able to get the bile to digest and remove toxins? Or like where the heck will the bile go now if it automatically always goes there to be held for future use?

So I find out when you remove the gallbladder, the bile just drips constantly into the intestines, causing constant diarrhea which creates malnutrition and/or electrolyte imbalances, and other digestive dysfunction.

Another problem after removal is that what drips out from the liver is not enough bile to digest a fatty meal. Thats when you need your reservoir of bile (gallbladder) to release extra bile.

This means that when you eat fat the body can't digest the fat properly. Not digesting fat well means you will not be able to digest essential fatty acids, including omega 3 and omega 6 fats.

It also means you'll have a hard time absorbing fat soluble vitamins such as vitamins D, E, A and K.

What the heck? This sounds like it’s a pretty vital organ to me so far.

THEN I learn that over 50% of people who have their gallbladders removed STILL HAVE THE SAME PAIN after it’s removed, and some have worse pain.

So why the heck take it out? The whole reason they say they are removing it is “because of pain”…

“if you report consistent pain, we take it out” that’s the protocol. But now I learn it won’t even take away the pain 🤦‍♀️ This is getting more ridiculous by the day

So why am I really having pain?
What is causing the pain?
What makes the gallbladder get sludge?
What makes it get stones?

Will those things be fixed simply by removing the gallbladder?

Will anything be fixed by removing it?

The truth is —- N O

Removing the gallbladder does not address the underlying metabolic abnormalities and dysfunction that causes a person to develop the sludge or the stones in the first place.

And I can see that removing it will cause a cascading effect of more issues and digestive dysfunction for the rest of my life where I have to manage a balancing act of supplements, fat, etc that may or may not heal me or relieve the pain.

Ok so by now I’m convinced I DONT want to remove this thing. It’s pretty necessary even though they say it isn’t.

So I started digging into WHY do I have sludge?
WHY do I have stones?
What caused it?
HOW can I heal it?

Well I learned that the key to healing your gallbladder lies with fixing your liver, digestive system, as well as overcoming nutritional deficiencies.

Your gallbladder and your liver and digestive system are very very very much connected. And I already knew I had fatty liver and it was diseased and not performing optimally. I also had digestive issues with tons of ulcers etc.

So I knew I need to fix ALL OF IT because it all works together.

Sludge is bile that’s too thick, concentrated and gunky. It’s supposed to be liquidy.

It can either be that your liver is PRODUCING bad quality bile, or that it’s TURNING bad quality in your gallbladder because it’s stagnant and not squirting out so well and staying in there getting more concentrated.

If the bile stays thick and sludgy for too long, it’s going to continue having a hard time squirting out, getting more concentrated, and then cholesterol can no longer dissolve in the bile, if anymore cholesterol is added, it’s going to start forming a solid… Which is the stones.

So I’m like ok, dang, so it’s not the gallbladder that’s to blame for any of this… it’s just the container

‼️ My bile is where the focus needs to be, NOT REMOVAL OF THE *BILE CONTAINER*.

It’s the bile getting excessively thick, and thicker and thicker, that is a compounding problem, which will lead to stones, and more pain, etc.

So I’m like ok, Here’s my mission

— you need to THIN & SQUIRT LOL 😂

So I started figuring out why it was thickening to start with…

❌ My liver was fatty, sluggish, diseased. It couldn’t remove toxins well. It was providing bad quality bile.

❌ They had me taking PPIs which stops your body from producing stomach acid and bile acid so this will naturally mean the bile is more concentrated/thick without the proper amount of acid.

❌ I had lost a lot of weight too quickly. When you lose weight, your body still has to metabolize and eliminate that fat, just like if you ate it, and losing too quickly creates a backlog in the liver, it can’t be eliminated efficiently and gets reabsorbed into your bloodstream, which goes back to your liver. So bad quality blood in the liver is gonna make bad quality bile too.

‼️ for other people the reasons could definitely be poor diet, too many toxins, fried foods, processed foods, AND ESPECIALLY SUGAR

So to THIN THE BILE…

✅ I had to heal and support my liver. I already made a post about how I did that here >>

✅ I stopped taking my PPIs they gave me for the ulcers (against the doctors orders).

When I looked up these drugs, I was alarmed first off when I discovered they were already giving me DOUBLE the highest dosage. The insert warned about dosage but doctors did otherwise.

The insert also said NEVER to take them longer than 8 weeks. It was pretty hardcore adamant about this. But the doctors said I’d probably have to be on them for life. Me no likey. I was at 7 weeks, So I looked up how to get off them and weaned myself off. Maybe now my body can produce the acid it needs.

Here’s a post about how I weaned myself off the PPIs >>

✅ I couldn’t stop losing weight because I radically changed my diet to eating whole clean foods and the weightloss was automatically happening. I wasn’t gonna stop eating healthy either LOL.

So at least now I was empowered to understand that the fat loss was burdening my liver even more so I supported my liver in eliminating this toxic dump of extra pounds, I needed to clear my liver backlog regularly — I did this with coffee enemas ☕️

I have other posts about how coffee enemas work…

Here >>

And here >>

And here >>

✅ I started eating tons of foods known to thin the bile — tumeric, beets, artichokes, carrots, apples, cabbage, etc Any food that said it would thin bile, I was honing in on it and eating tons of it (even making fresh juices to max out the nutrients, I drank beet, beet green, carrot, apple, ginger & tumeric juice religiously every day)

Now I needed to SQUIRT THE BILE…

✅ I ate foods that were known to make the gallbladder contract and release bile — tumeric, dandelion root, dandelion greens, beet greens, etc lots of “bitter greens”

✅ and again, the coffee enemas also expand the bile ducts so even if the bile was still a little thick it would come out better every time I ate something that triggered it to release.

Now I just had a FOLLOWUP ultrasound and…

My gallbladder is healed 🙌

There is N O. S L U D G E.

No gallstones.

Everything is gone — disappeared.

And to sum it up…

Those doctors can suck it 🙅‍♀️🤣
