I am suffering from bile duct cancer and have a bile duct stent in, my cancer has spread to my stomach and pancreas and lymph nodes. I recently had an mrcp revealing gall bladder sludge. Ty for sharing your video and information with us. HUGS and GOD bless us everyone 🙏. Prayers appreciated for my cholangiocarcinoma
Consider growing and eating broccoli sprouts daily. They have a very potent cancer destroying chemical called sulforphane. There are many videos on here showing how to grow them, very easy and cheap. Don’t just brush this advice off, look into it as it could potentially save your life along with other measures you are taking. Best of health to you!
Symptoms of prolonged fasting could include: • Right shoulder pain or tightness • Right upper abdominal pain, tightness, or fullness • Headaches on the right side • Jaw problems on the right side • Nausea • High cholesterol • Bloating Top causes of a bile deficiency: • A problem with the liver • Statins • Low-fat diets • Low-cholesterol diets • High insulin • High estrogen • High cortisol • Gastric bypass • A lack of friendly bacteria • Parenteral nutrition Tudca on an empty stomach once or twice a day could help! Thank you Dr Berg!
@@اللهفوقكلشيء-ع5ر Bile salts commonly from Ox bile, Tudca is originally from Bears...however there are also synthetic made ones that mimmick the bear bile salts..thats the one to look for
@@CarbageMan Yea I think fasting is only change the schedule eat , eat in certain time, and fasting 14 - 16 hours. If we eat well and drink well I think it doesn't matter....still health and well...
just to clarify what he mentioned in the video was about prolonged fasting while being on an IV (intravenous) nutrition, also called parenteral nutrition
John Rose goes over this extensively. If you are doing a long fast, you must add about 1 oz of Flax oil or hemp oil per day. A shot of it is fine. It "squeezes" the gall bladder to keep bile flowing in a healthy way.
I don't know if anybody wants to hear this but I'll say it. Don't stop grinding and hustling until you feel fulfilled, it's not all about been on top, the highest thing is just to feel fulfilled as you. Love yourselves and believe in yourselves because that's what will fuel your energy each time you feel like giving up. I don't have so many subscribers but the ones I have are so special to my struggle so far. I'm grateful they believe in me, they're the reason i will keep putting in my best ♥️♥️♥️
You never told about this before? Why!? I have a 2,5cm gallstone & a gallbladder problem & i decided to do an 8 day fast after watching your videos on how fasting is so healthy!! But you never told we shouldnt fast with a gallbladder problem. Thanks so much!! It made my gallbladder pain even worse.
He actually says that fasting helps reset the gallbladder and get rid of stones and sludge in another video! Quite contradicting if he’s telling people that sludge and gallstones are caused by poor bile quality or lack of bile flow and recommends fasting if you have that problem! But this video says fasting if you have these problems can congest the liver more!???
Imagine coming on here with such an attitude. You are lucky he’s even making these videos in the first place. Let me guess, you’re from south east Asia?
When someone says bile is made of cholesterol, that does not give much info. What is most important is that bile is mostly comprised of phosphatidylcholine. That is why along with HumanX TUDCA, I take BioBody Phosphatidylcholine....every other day. Bile is also recycled in the liver with two main amino acids...glycine and taurine....that is why I take a magnesium product with both glycinate and taurate ☝🏿️🙏🏿
When I do cardio on a fast I get that shooting pain off the back of my shoulder to my neck on the right side and I couldn’t figure out why I was only on the right side , this has got to be it. The algorithm hooked me up today!!
Finally I get a serious answer to my questions. So far all doctors sent me away saying this is nothing to worry about.. So, thank you so much Dr. Berg!!
Can't agree more. Now I understand what led me to that infection of the gallbladder. Body is such complicated, yet so ordered machine. Your words always make complete sense doctor. Thank you
Thank goodness. I was not purposely fasting, but this explains an event that hit me last week on the nose. I had a bowel impaction somehow [cleared after two days], and a backing up of the gall bladder [+ liver inflammation] would explain every symptom - 100%. Ruined my entire week, and still feel slightly inflamed.
Dr Berg! There are no words that can describe how grateful I am I've found your channel and started to live with your advices! I'm 28, hypothyroidism, PCOS, Hashimoto, possibly prediabetes as well and high cortisol ( 2 last years in a really big stress). Processed foods, no balanced diet, not enough veggies in my diet, a lot of food allergies. My immune system was giving me signs since start of 2022 that it's really weak, I didn't listen... A few weeks ago I decided - now or never. I need to go back to my normal health, to fight for myself. So I started keto diet - pescatarian ( unfortunately I realized I don't feel good after consuming meat). No processed foods, balanced, a long walk everyday, intermittent fasting when I'll start to not feel hunger, proper supplements to help my organism and tryroid. I also started acupressure and eating vitamin C in drops for cortisol each morning. I've never slept better. After 2 weeks, I started OMAD, as I don't feel the hunger. Sometimes I'm fasting for more than 24 hours, for my health. I know it will take about 1-2 years to fix what was happening in my body for years but I've got incredible motivation. Of course I want to drop some weight, but it's not my priority. I want my health back. And because I'm doing keto right, I've got no cravings for sweets or not keto meals. It's the first time people offer me something and it's not able to convince me. I'm so proud of myself, that finally I stopped to treat my body like a trash bin. I'm on my best way to my healthy life! Thank you Dr Berg. You're such an inspiring person. You've helped me to understand this complicated machine, which human organism is. Thanks to it I'm able to give proper care to myself ♥️
Gallbladder releases bile after eating so fasting makes the bile get thick and not flow out good. Creates liver problems from fat build-up and high cholesterol. Thanks for sharing.
I bought and just started Tudca about a week ago. I’m up to 500mg twice a day because I feel full after eating. I eat twice a day. My problem is I just took my evening two before dinner and immediately had diahrrea. I’m in a flare right now. My doctor said I have sludge in Gallbladder and if I continue to have discomfort she will refer me to surgery. I told her medical assistsnt who told me this over the phone, no thanks not having it out. This is my gastroenterologist. I’m having an upper GI at the same time I have my colonoscopy in October. This is all I get from Dr.’s out here in rural AZ.
it's NOT recommended to take Tudca with a meal or close to a meal. (although many do) It's an alkaline and you need acidity in the stomach & the Tudca would neutralize your stomach acid somewhat. Take it between meals so that by the time you eat your meal the alkaline Tudca has already passed through & will be in the intestine/liver & gallbladder where it's needed not in the stomach interfering with the breakdown of the food. Hope you have had some relief from your liver 👍
How long does one take these supplements, and does one do both, Gallbladder Formula, and the Tudca at the same time? I actually developed bloating after fasting 16 hours a day when COVID started. I lost 70 pounds but developed bloating. I stopped the intermittent fasting and started using the Gallbladder formula, and it has helped much. PLus started eating more fruits and veggies which has also helped. Great info from the doc!!!!
Great info thanks! That happens very often to people in either prolonged or OMAD fasting. I went through that myself sometimes can be a combination of fasting and bacterial infection that causes it. What worked for me was go back to 2 - 3 meals / day. No more than 16 hours fasting time use Bile salts like Tudca as suggested and give it some time. It took me several months to get back to balance. Ultrasound suggested some liver fat so might be the triger point. After treatment seemed to work took another ultrasound liver fat reduced.
I have the pain and swelling on my left side, so think it's Pancreas. I've watched your videos and concluded Tudca may help....almost a year later and the problem has all but gone. Thank you!
Hi Sally, thank you for your comment. I am presently suffering with similar pain on my left side just as Dr Berg explained for the right side in this video. Can you please advise if this was your case and did tudca really worked? My Drs are of no use and I also conclude from the bit of info from this channel that it may be pancreas. Any more info on your experience would be greatly appreciated.🤗
Thank you for all your videos! I have sludge and most of the mentionned symptoms and these videos have given me so much clarification...most doctors wont give you a reason or extensibly explain why sludge happens or how to manage living with it. Really appreciate these videos.
@@ruthpagan5503but especially if u eat processed foods to let it go...its hard lol but i didnt watch my diet and sludge became little stones and I had to have surgery...watch the salt and sugar, lots of fiber and water no matter what u eat so that bile doesnt accumulate
thanks doc, my wife has sbs and on 70 percent dextrose with other things 12 hours a day. Her weight is 100 to 102 on a small frame and she is jumping hoops to get on a trial. Thanks for keeping us focused on weaning.
I had an ultrasound scan done, just to make sure I didn't have stones. Over a couple months, I passed the sludge. I had no symptoms unless I tried to fast longer than 18-20 hours. That was three years ago, and I'm fine now.
@@CarbageMan ok I thought bile sludge was green and came out sometimes in your stool. I know when i did gallbladder flushes years ago it was greenish with flecks of little and big stones. Some as large as my fingernail.
I totally agree with you Doctor many things in our organs can go wrong. however fasting is powerful it removes toxins and help one to pray more in Spirit
THIS is an HONEST review of Dr. Berg's Gallbladder formula. I use it after every meal, I've tried 2 other types/brands (one natural and one was a chemical) and all the home remedies. With other brands or if I stop using Dr. Berg's product for 4/5 days I go right back to terrible pain in my liver, terrible pain in the right side of my neck, I'm tired and I get a fever from the back up. I PROMISE I'm a real person/not paid and I haven't found anything else that helps but his product. With weird things going on I even bought an extra bottle out of fear of running out because of how bad things get when I don't take it. ps I've been diagnosed by my doc that there are "spots" on my liver. Heck I was morbidly obese for 20 yrs. I'm not not a bot, I'm not paid. Wish I was paid in a year supply if I was paid.
@@eoghanhennessy443 Wish i was lying.. I'd be as healthy as you. Sadly, I had to take this pill after dinner and I'll have to take it after lunch today. Good luck with your health my friend and stay safe these days.
How many tablets do you take after each meal? I just started this and know it is helping because my stools are back to brown and not grayish, but just wanted to check exactly what you do.
Imagine if every doctor would be like him... And not useless people in white.. He explain everything in calming way... Man I have such huge respect for this man I'm on 2 - 22.... And do calisthenics... It's so good for health that I can't even begin explan...
OMG! This is exactly the symptoms I have been experiencing, diagnosed as GERD and I have done everything under the sun to heal this. This did become a problem for me the 1st time I ever did a 8 day water fast in 2021 and I have been suffering since. Also my Dr. did say my cholesterol was a little high and I was like how?! I heard about Tudca today the 1st time and ordered it immediately. It's coming tomorrow! I'm hoping this is the solution to this pain I experience trying to fast. I haven't been able to fast past 3 days due to the pain since 2022. Thanks for bringing this supplement to my awareness!
I have had to determine a serious concern with my health because my doctor had no interest in helping me. Now that I know my pain is related to my gallbladder, I have an appointment tomorrow with a Gastorointerollogist. Your videos were very helpful in realizing why I was in such horrid pain for several months. Now, I look forward to having my gallbladder removed. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
You are looking forward to having your gallbladder removed???? Could you not do some more research and change your diet and heal your gallbladder.? We have these organs for a reason and you don’t want to spend your life without them? When conventional doctors can’t fix something they cut it out and think that is a solution it is not! I wish you well whatever you do but your body can heal anything if you give it the right materials. Namaste 🙏
I had gallbladder sludge. I had an ultrasound scan done to make sure it wasn't stones. After that, I simply kept eating keto to pass the sludge, which took a few months. I did take Dr Berg's gallbladder formula.
3 months keto + daily mini-fasts, all thanks to you. hope you'll return to whiteboard + markers. fish-eye lens close-ups are less stimulating. thanks, Doc, for countering pharma misinfo.
Dr. Eric Berg thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us, I’m glad I came across your videos. Question- I got my gallbladder removed due to big stones in it. Is there anything I should do and don’t do ? And is there anything I should watch out for ? Your opinions and help much appreciated
I know a woman whose bile duct is irreparably damaged, and the doctors have told her she must avoid fatty foods completely in order to avoid flare ups. Years of drug use is the cause. She's 29. What a waste.
i have chronic neck pain and after 1.5 year i doubt it may due to gallbladder and liver and researching about the topic. my blood report bilirubin- total = 1.35 (range:0.3-1.2) alkaline phosphate =168 (range 45-129) reference --> 1:18
Dr. Berg, why do you love us so much? You have changed lives. Thank you so much for changing mines. My coworkers are about to me sick of me. I’ve lost so much weight that I’m back in very beautiful clothing. I’m super cute & they’re about to be sick of me. 😂 The journey had been a needed learning journey but I can’t wait to see what I look like in the next 3-6 months. Thank you again good doctor.
Hi Dr I'm from India my left ovary is removed due to multiple cysts I have cholesterol, diabetes, irregular periods,hair fall, lower back pain... how can I stop more bad I'm 35y . please help
Thank you very much. But I had to look at a lot of videos ti find out that Crohn/UC/SIBO patients cannot take bile salts. Please always say who the supplement may not be good for. Thanks
OH MY GOD,,,,THANK YOU,,,THANK YOU🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I BEEN TO+FROM THE E.R./(3) DIFFERENT HOSPITALS+ NOBODY SAYING NONE OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND EVERYTHING YOU SAYING MAKE SENSE🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 BUT ALL MY PAIN IS ON LEFT/SIDE OF MY BODY(HEADACHE)UNDER THE BREAST + I ALSO FEEL LIKE NUMBNESS ON LEFT SIDE. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is very helpful, for someone in my position. Thank You so much for this video, I am going to talk to my doctor and hematologist about investigating this.
What's prolonged fasting .how often should we fast .I skip breakfast a lot .12 hour. I took your advice.eating twice a day ...can I get a good scheduled from you ..thanks for all the great free information. Really appreciate it.
Hello Dr Burke I have a question I am fasting 24 hours a day with keto for three months my goal bladder was removed years ago I can’t find any video of yours that explain is that healthy too fast 24 hours and eat keto meal for that long I already lose 13 kg what should I do further and I’m 66 years old please would you In light me
I have pain in my back on both sides . When I eat my belly swells sometimes. Is there a kidney problem happening. What can I do to help with this. I crave sugar after eating and have had hypoglycemia
Very interesting. I had my gallbladder removed in 2004 after doing a very low fat diet, not really knowing how important good fats are and my doctor believes it is why I developed gallstones. I take ox bile salts now, eat healthily, exercise but when I got my recent cholesterol test it was quite high. I'm not sure if it's because of having no gallbladder or because I've been doing fasting lately and as you state therefore increasing cholesterol.
Doc E, 1. I love your videos. They have been helping me, and I am following your suggestions. 2. I have lost 20+ pounds over the past 60 days, and I'm feeling great. A 14 hour fast is easy now. 3. I have lost the cravings, but I also have modified what is in sight in the home and where I work (Out of Sight. Out of Mind). What are your thoughts on Garcinia Cambogia to help get thru a fast? Continued Successes. Greg Pasden World Traveler and Adventurer.
I find psyllium husk fiber powder and Apple cider vinegar helps with fasting. Although Im not sure either are ok with prolonged fasting. I do no more than 72 hours at a time. I know the body becomes more acidic with prolonged fasting so ACV may not be appropriate. Stay safe. Oh and drink 3.5 liters of water a day when fasting. Enough water makes it much Easyer.
It may greatly increase your risk of developing Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease based on what AI has to say about it. Several studies suggest that gallbladder removal, also known as cholecystectomy, may be a risk factor for the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Here are some key findings: Alterations in bile flow and digestion after cholecystectomy may lead to fat accumulation in the liver (Fatty Liver after Gallbladder Removal: All You Need to Know, 2023). Cholecystectomy may contribute to the development of hepatic steatosis (fatty liver) through metabolic changes, including alterations in bile acid circulation and lipid metabolism (Cholecystectomy Causes Ultrasound Evidence of Increased Hepatic Steatosis, 2016). A study evaluating ultrasonography results in a large cohort found that NAFLD was more common in individuals who had undergone cholecystectomy compared to those without (Cholecystectomy may be a risk factor for NAFLD, 2013). Insulin resistance, a key component of metabolic syndrome, is thought to play a crucial role in the association between cholecystectomy and NAFLD (Cholecystectomy as a risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease development - HPB, 2020). Cholecystectomy itself may increase the risk of NAFLD progression, highlighting the need to analyze the metabolic consequences of gallbladder removal (Cholecystectomy as a risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease development - HPB, 2020). In summary, while the exact mechanisms are not fully understood, the available evidence suggests that gallbladder removal may be a risk factor for the development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
I would like to know if there is any other reason besides this for the same symptoms. What happens if it’s due to something else. Yes I did click on to the next video.
Hi. Dr. Berg your videos are amazing, thank you so much. I have pain on the left side of the neck that goes down to the stomach area (left side). Can you do a video on that and also please please do more videos on women dealing with issues due to a full hysterectomy? What supplements would help daily? Your supplements are amazing btw!! I'm passing your info to all my family and friends. Thanks again!
Excellent, thanks Dr B. I changed to almost 100% plant based diet, no dairy, very little meat and it improved my digestion. It is so much better that I can now skip taking digestive enzymes.
Dr.. thanks for one more very informative video .. I always have a doubt . How many days we can do a healthy fasting where we can only loose body fat. But, not the muscles 💪. What should we drink those days and how many days we have to do that . please suggest Dr.. thanks 🙏 in advance
Dear Dr. Berg, thank you so much for you great, informative videos. Much appreciated. Was diagnosed prediabetic in 2015 with H1c of 6.4 but did not pay attention. Nothing was explained. I did not take the prescribed medicine but stopped alcohol for several months and lost 25 lbs and figured I was good. H1c remained at 6.4 for 6-years until I contacted Covid then immediately shot up to 8.6. I was now prescribed Metformin but discovered your enlightening videos and got off carbs and started intermittent fasting about 3-weeks ago. Lost 15 pounds and daily sugar testing has my typical blood sugar under 150. All good,thank you. Question: many of your videos refer to the gall bladder- mine was removed many years ago as was probably many others. Can you elaborate on this condition sometimes when discussing how the gallbladder affects intermittent fasting and diabetes, etc., please? Please accept my gratitude for how you have given me the knowledge to control my own health.
Dr Berg, Thank you for this Video! Didn't realize for most people on Statins given now like Candy since School Age to just about every other child to old person that there is a danger for Intermittent Fasting! Please Make a Video for People with Diabetics and Video for People with Heatt Desease and Video for People with Gastroenterology and Liver Enzymes Problems and Video for People with Kidney Problems - All Specifics for each Category for Intermittent Fasting with Focus Tips based on their Issues. It would be so so so much better! I am a heart surgery by 40s due to early Heart Desease and not following an Endocrinology Doctor like you and a Heart Surgeon and Nutriciologists before 😀 since my teens. Probably I would have avoided it if being religious about staying within 4 lbs from ideal weight, as now with Heart Meds, anything more than 5-7 lbs of extra weight puts me in Pre-Diabetes Category and I thank you so much like God that you did a Video explaining simple yet not used HOMO-IR Test which until I asked based on your video no one cared to do for me. Same thing for Explaining the Cholesterol and Triglycerides Elevated slightly level which for people with Early Heart Desease are so deadly and must be dealt earlier by Diet and Nutrition and Exercise and doing proper tests, for me sadly KETO diet with Tons of Animal Protein and Fat is not suitable, but Intermittent Fasting was a Lifesaver for over 3 years since Heart Surgery to keep not Becoming Diabetic and Prevent Weight Gain and Insulin Resistance caused by Statins, Amlodipine and more... Thank you again!
Yup, I ran into gallbladder sludge while on a prolonged fast I had to back off the extended fasts to clear the sludge. This was a 12 to 18 months after I went keto and did extended fasts every quarter. I would have gallbladder pain after about 18-20 hours of fasting. I had a gallbladder ultrasound scan (probably a good idea), and there were no stones. Having seen something about it on this channel, I figured it was sludge. It took a couple months, but I did clear the sludge. I don't remember if I took TUDCA or not. I did take Dr Berg's Gallbladder formula-one of the few products of his I actually have used. I also took an herbal formula that had Silymarin Milk Thistle, Artichoke Extract, Dandelion Root, Organic Turmeric and Berberine. I researched online, and there were some radical treatments I didn't try because some said they were dangerous. I just waited it out after verifying there were _no_ gallstones.
@@CarbageMan Don't let any MD talk you into having gallbladder removal unless it's truly needed. Make sure it's a last ditch effort. If you have sludge just steer clear of saturated fat, trans fats and cooking oils like canola oil and steer clear of fatty meats like bacon and sausage. Basically everything that is deep fried with grease and or that has high fat greasy food.
@@pabloblanco2656 I don’t get this. Eating saturated fat causes the liver to produce bile. It also causes the gallbladder to contract, to push out it’s stored bile to help process the fat. My tiny mind says that eating fat must therefore be a GOOD thing because the gallbladder cannot stagnate and create an environment where sludge and gallstones can form. Surely a low-fat diet is a bad thing. 🤔
@@louk6196 He’s one of those fools who still believes fat in meat is unhealthy and that we should avoid saturated fat, which is untrue. The grease on greasy food which has been deep fried is actually rancid SEED oils and sometimes they contain partially hydrogenated oil which then becomes a transfat. This is what you should avoid as it is a strong inflammatory and causes major oxidative stress.
If you gallbladder was already removed, would fasting cause other issues/would this mean you shouldn't do intermittent fasting? After my success without my girlfriend now started. However her gallbladder was removed a couple of years ago through surgery.
Hi there! Perhaps these videos might be able to help. ruclips.net/video/boTzigj646Q/видео.html ruclips.net/video/rWwR_UYdiu0/видео.html Dr. Berg's Support Team
Dr. Berg thank you so much for all the videos you make about the liver. I was wondering if you had any input on fat burners and the damage it can cause on your liver. When I was younger I used these fat burners and now I feel like it has caused great damage to my liver. Thank you so much!
I was going to ask if TUDCA can relieve it (because it’s similar to Ursodioxycholic acid). It turns out it was the main recommendation here is this video ! Awesome. Will continue using it. (I was slightly hesitant before this).
So i was not informed about the damages of antibiotics before a dermatologist prescribed me to take 3 pills a day UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Went on 3 weeks and my stomach never was the same since. I did keto and OMAD for 7 weeks strong with green tea every morning and eating primarily eggs as my meal. I lost 35lbs but im having some of the issues i had before and i have really reduced my carb intake and still fast for roughly 12 or more hours regularly
Hi Dr. Berg, thanks for another great info segment on a topic that'll surely be beneficial to many, many people. I'm 90 days into keto dieting and intermittent fasting. More recently I've transitioned to OMAD, along with lemon juice + ACV, green tea, vitamins, minerals, greens, etc. Life is good and I'm feeling GREAT, thanks to you. Keep up the great work -- you're helping more people than you may realize!
Doc, thank you so much for the awesome video! I practice intermittent fasting thrice a week or so, and it makes me feel really good. Is that ok? Or should I give it a miss..? Many thanks!
It’s interesting to see all these comments about Tudca. It’s been well known in the underground bodybuilding communities as pretty much the only thing that really offers the most solid protection against the hepatoxic effects of orally consumed anabolic androgen hormones. Someone could have ALT and AST in the 400s for their liver enzymes on blood work indicating their liver is seriously struggling big time and then they begin taking at the very least 500mg but preferably at least a gram a day and within 2 weeks or less in most cases those same enzymes will now be down to the 30s. There is a prescription version you could get your doctor to write for you so you could get it for cheaper potentially if you have good insurance except it’s a bit different instead of TUDCA it’s UDCA the main difference being the TUDCA has a Taurine in the beginning hence the letter T in Tudca for Taurine tauroursodeoxycholicacid. I’ve seen it debated often some people claim the TUDCA to be better while others claim the UDCA to be better I wish I could find a proper study comparing both their benefits and downsides. Now One thing I’m not sure of that if anyone could clarify for me I would appreciate it but only if you really know what you are talking about because the older I get the more I realize how often so many people have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. But here’s my question say with Magnesium Taurate for example after consuming it as it gets processed by your system the magnesium is separated from the Taurine so then at that point you get the benefits of both the Taurine and the magnesium when you take Tudca and it gets processed do you end up with Taurine and Udca separately? Or does it remain as one compound? I’m assuming they have completely different types of bonds but I never took a chemistry class so I don’t know this at all.
What advice do you give on Chicken skin and cholesterol build up in viens. Is it true it has high cholesterol deposits and we should avoid it. What is your say on to this? Thanks
@@Drberg is there something to take when you make to much bile n it washes up I myself n others I read about can't seem to eat unless the bile is vomited out ?
@Dr. Eric Berg DC thanks for the great information. I applied the under rib cage massage you showed in another video with great result in relieving bile sludge. Now I’m also taking bile salts once in a while and may try TUDCA😇
I am suffering from bile duct cancer and have a bile duct stent in, my cancer has spread to my stomach and pancreas and lymph nodes. I recently had an mrcp revealing gall bladder sludge. Ty for sharing your video and information with us. HUGS and GOD bless us everyone 🙏. Prayers appreciated for my cholangiocarcinoma
Im praying for you. Did you try the TUDCA? Most doctors dont like the sound of herbal supplements
Consider growing and eating broccoli sprouts daily. They have a very potent cancer destroying chemical called sulforphane. There are many videos on here showing how to grow them, very easy and cheap. Don’t just brush this advice off, look into it as it could potentially save your life along with other measures you are taking. Best of health to you!
God be with you🙏
Good luck and prayers

No matter how good something is, too much of everything is bad!
Never forget this!
Symptoms of prolonged fasting could include:
• Right shoulder pain or tightness
• Right upper abdominal pain, tightness, or fullness
• Headaches on the right side
• Jaw problems on the right side
• Nausea
• High cholesterol
• Bloating
Top causes of a bile deficiency:
• A problem with the liver
• Statins
• Low-fat diets
• Low-cholesterol diets
• High insulin
• High estrogen
• High cortisol
• Gastric bypass
• A lack of friendly bacteria
• Parenteral nutrition
Tudca on an empty stomach once or twice a day could help!
Thank you Dr Berg!

Bile is also recycled in the liver with two main amino acids...glycine and taurine....that is why I take a magnesium product with both glycinate and taurate ☝🏿️🙏🏿
@@milkydude5385 I find one brand of Tudca that absolutely aids my digestion and elimination system. My results are positive.
So where can you get that magnesium with glycinate and taurate?
@@4406bbldb What brand do you use?
Ok
@@bettyboothe2523 I was wondering the same great question
Tudca has been a Godsend! Truly!
Great recommendation Doc, thanks!
What is this?
Bile salts
When I do cardio on a fast I get that shooting pain off the back of my shoulder to my neck on the right side and I couldn’t figure out why I was only on the right side , this has got to be it. The algorithm hooked me up today!!
I was just(!) looking into rolling 72 last night! This video cannot come at a better time!
Finally I get a serious answer to my questions. So far all doctors sent me away saying this is nothing to worry about..
So, thank you so much Dr. Berg!!
What were your problems if you don’t mind sharing?
Correct. This is the reason for elevated bilirubin and cholesterol during prolonged intermittent fasting. Thick bile, concentrating cholesterol.
Can't agree more. Now I understand what led me to that infection of the gallbladder. Body is such complicated, yet so ordered machine. Your words always make complete sense doctor. Thank you
We're you able to keep your gallbladder?
Dr.berg you are my best doctor in all the world I wish you are here in Lebanon
Thank you for these videos, Dr. Berg. We need more doctors like you in this country.
Thank goodness. I was not purposely fasting, but this explains an event that hit me last week on the nose. I had a bowel impaction somehow [cleared after two days], and a backing up of the gall bladder [+ liver inflammation] would explain every symptom - 100%. Ruined my entire week, and still feel slightly inflamed.
What did you do to get it under control.
@finch622 what did you do?.
My husband just got a stent in his bile duct. Gallbladder had sludge. He is seeing a acupuncturist and it is helping him. Praise the Lord ❤
what he did for him please ?
Dr Berg! There are no words that can describe how grateful I am I've found your channel and started to live with your advices!
I'm 28, hypothyroidism, PCOS, Hashimoto, possibly prediabetes as well and high cortisol ( 2 last years in a really big stress). Processed foods, no balanced diet, not enough veggies in my diet, a lot of food allergies.
My immune system was giving me signs since start of 2022 that it's really weak, I didn't listen...
A few weeks ago I decided - now or never. I need to go back to my normal health, to fight for myself. So I started keto diet - pescatarian ( unfortunately I realized I don't feel good after consuming meat). No processed foods, balanced, a long walk everyday, intermittent fasting when I'll start to not feel hunger, proper supplements to help my organism and tryroid. I also started acupressure and eating vitamin C in drops for cortisol each morning. I've never slept better. After 2 weeks, I started OMAD, as I don't feel the hunger. Sometimes I'm fasting for more than 24 hours, for my health. I know it will take about 1-2 years to fix what was happening in my body for years but I've got incredible motivation. Of course I want to drop some weight, but it's not my priority. I want my health back. And because I'm doing keto right, I've got no cravings for sweets or not keto meals. It's the first time people offer me something and it's not able to convince me. I'm so proud of myself, that finally I stopped to treat my body like a trash bin. I'm on my best way to my healthy life! Thank you Dr Berg. You're such an inspiring person. You've helped me to understand this complicated machine, which human organism is. Thanks to it I'm able to give proper care to myself ♥️
Gallbladder releases bile after eating so fasting makes the bile get thick and not flow out good. Creates liver problems from fat build-up and high cholesterol. Thanks for sharing.
I bought and just started Tudca about a week ago. I’m up to 500mg twice a day because I feel full after eating. I eat twice a day. My problem is I just took my evening two before dinner and immediately had diahrrea. I’m in a flare right now. My doctor said I have sludge in Gallbladder and if I continue to have discomfort she will refer me to surgery. I told her medical assistsnt who told me this over the phone, no thanks not having it out. This is my gastroenterologist. I’m having an upper GI at the same time I have my colonoscopy in October. This is all I get from Dr.’s out here in rural AZ.
it's NOT recommended to take Tudca with a meal or close to a meal. (although many do) It's an alkaline and you need acidity in the stomach & the Tudca would neutralize your stomach acid somewhat.
Take it between meals so that by the time you eat your meal the alkaline Tudca has already passed through & will be in the intestine/liver & gallbladder where it's needed not in the stomach interfering with the breakdown of the food.
Hope you have had some relief from your liver 👍
Your videos are remedy to my pain .
Thanks dr.berg
How long does one take these supplements, and does one do both, Gallbladder Formula, and the Tudca at the same time? I actually developed bloating after fasting 16 hours a day when COVID started. I lost 70 pounds but developed bloating. I stopped the intermittent fasting and started using the Gallbladder formula, and it has helped much. PLus started eating more fruits and veggies which has also helped. Great info from the doc!!!!
If had known about Tudka two years ago I probably could have saved my Gallbladder. Too late now. Good info Dr. Berg.
Yep im the same, got mine taken out 20years ago didn't have RUclips back then lol❤❤
Yep had mine taken out 20 years ago now, didn't have RUclips back then😅 but i still think i have thick bile sludge
Always great info Dr Berg 😊 I had this prob for years, but thanks to your gallbladder formula, it's much better now.

How long did you take it for? Did you have to keep taking it forever?
You really helped me! I'm sending good vibes to you and your team!
Just on time 16 days into 21 day water fast, thank you 🙏🏾
Great info thanks! That happens very often to people in either prolonged or OMAD fasting. I went through that myself sometimes can be a combination of fasting and bacterial infection that causes it. What worked for me was go back to 2 - 3 meals / day. No more than 16 hours fasting time use Bile salts like Tudca as suggested and give it some time. It took me several months to get back to balance. Ultrasound suggested some liver fat so might be the triger point. After treatment seemed to work took another ultrasound liver fat reduced.
Hello! Curious about your comment. Dealing with some issues also! You believe a bacterial infection can cause gallbladder issues also??
Did you have pain or diarrhea?
No wonder I couldn't stand my right shoulder pain when I began fasting. Once I put fasting on hold I felt relieved.
WOW this is how i feel now and my Dr could not figure out, brilliant Dr Berg, grateful💡🇿🇦
I have the pain and swelling on my left side, so think it's Pancreas. I've watched your videos and concluded Tudca may help....almost a year later and the problem has all but gone. Thank you!
Hi Sally, thank you for your comment. I am presently suffering with similar pain on my left side just as Dr Berg explained for the right side in this video. Can you please advise if this was your case and did tudca really worked? My Drs are of no use and I also conclude from the bit of info from this channel that it may be pancreas. Any more info on your experience would be greatly appreciated.🤗

THIS is an HONEST review of Dr. Berg's Gallbladder formula. I use it after every meal, I've tried 2 other types/brands (one natural and one was a chemical) and all the home remedies. With other brands or if I stop using Dr. Berg's product for 4/5 days I go right back to terrible pain in my liver, terrible pain in the right side of my neck, I'm tired and I get a fever from the back up. I PROMISE I'm a real person/not paid and I haven't found anything else that helps but his product. With weird things going on I even bought an extra bottle out of fear of running out because of how bad things get when I don't take it. ps I've been diagnosed by my doc that there are "spots" on my liver. Heck I was morbidly obese for 20 yrs. I'm not not a bot, I'm not paid. Wish I was paid in a year supply if I was paid.

OMG! This is exactly the symptoms I have been experiencing, diagnosed as GERD and I have done everything under the sun to heal this. This did become a problem for me the 1st time I ever did a 8 day water fast in 2021 and I have been suffering since. Also my Dr. did say my cholesterol was a little high and I was like how?! I heard about Tudca today the 1st time and ordered it immediately. It's coming tomorrow! I'm hoping this is the solution to this pain I experience trying to fast. I haven't been able to fast past 3 days due to the pain since 2022. Thanks for bringing this supplement to my awareness!
Are you better now?
Dr. Berg tudca, along with NAC are my new go to's. Literally changing my life and health for the better
I have had to determine a serious concern with my health because my doctor had no interest in helping me. Now that I know my pain is related to my gallbladder, I have an appointment tomorrow with a Gastorointerollogist. Your videos were very helpful in realizing why I was in such horrid pain for several months. Now, I look forward to having my gallbladder removed. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
I had women Drs that was NO help.
I had my GB removed made me gain weight.
You are looking forward to having your gallbladder removed???? Could you not do some more research and change your diet and heal your gallbladder.? We have these organs for a reason and you don’t want to spend your life without them? When conventional doctors can’t fix something they cut it out and think that is a solution it is not! I wish you well whatever you do but your body can heal anything if you give it the right materials. Namaste 🙏
Try fixing it through diet before having it removed. I had mine removed 15 years ago and I wish I hadn't.
@@JamesSmith-pc6bh can i ask why?
I had gallbladder sludge. I had an ultrasound scan done to make sure it wasn't stones. After that, I simply kept eating keto to pass the sludge, which took a few months. I did take Dr Berg's gallbladder formula.

What about people who have no gallbladder any more for the past 30 years?
Dr.Berg, can you please make a video about gallbladder hyperkinesia, thank you! You have been extremely helpful to me and my family's lives.
I know a woman whose bile duct is irreparably damaged, and the doctors have told her she must avoid fatty foods completely in order to avoid flare ups. Years of drug use is the cause. She's 29. What a waste.
i have chronic neck pain and after 1.5 year i doubt it may due to gallbladder and liver and researching about the topic.

What about those without a gallbladder ? How should they approach fasting 12/24h + ?
Yes, I have had my Gallbladder removed. How do we approach it?
Very interesting. I had my gallbladder removed in 2004 after doing a very low fat diet, not really knowing how important good fats are and my doctor believes it is why I developed gallstones. I take ox bile salts now, eat healthily, exercise but when I got my recent cholesterol test it was quite high. I'm not sure if it's because of having no gallbladder or because I've been doing fasting lately and as you state therefore increasing cholesterol.
Doc E,
1. I love your videos. They have been helping me, and I am following your suggestions.
2. I have lost 20+ pounds over the past 60 days, and I'm feeling great.
A 14 hour fast is easy now.
3. I have lost the cravings, but I also have modified what is in sight in the home and where I work (Out of Sight. Out of Mind).
What are your thoughts on Garcinia Cambogia to help get thru a fast?
Continued Successes.

I find psyllium husk fiber powder and Apple cider vinegar helps with fasting.
Although Im not sure either are ok with prolonged fasting. I do no more than 72 hours at a time.
I know the body becomes more acidic with prolonged fasting so ACV may not be appropriate. Stay safe.
Oh and drink 3.5 liters of water a day when fasting. Enough water makes it much Easyer.
What damage does not having a gallbladder do to ones liver? Love all your videos.
Great question?
Love to know the answer.
It may greatly increase your risk of developing Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease based on what AI has to say about it.
Several studies suggest that gallbladder removal, also known as cholecystectomy, may be a risk factor for the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Here are some key findings:
Alterations in bile flow and digestion after cholecystectomy may lead to fat accumulation in the liver (Fatty Liver after Gallbladder Removal: All You Need to Know, 2023).
Cholecystectomy may contribute to the development of hepatic steatosis (fatty liver) through metabolic changes, including alterations in bile acid circulation and lipid metabolism (Cholecystectomy Causes Ultrasound Evidence of Increased Hepatic Steatosis, 2016).
A study evaluating ultrasonography results in a large cohort found that NAFLD was more common in individuals who had undergone cholecystectomy compared to those without (Cholecystectomy may be a risk factor for NAFLD, 2013).
Insulin resistance, a key component of metabolic syndrome, is thought to play a crucial role in the association between cholecystectomy and NAFLD (Cholecystectomy as a risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease development - HPB, 2020).
Cholecystectomy itself may increase the risk of NAFLD progression, highlighting the need to analyze the metabolic consequences of gallbladder removal (Cholecystectomy as a risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease development - HPB, 2020).
In summary, while the exact mechanisms are not fully understood, the available evidence suggests that gallbladder removal may be a risk factor for the development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
I would like to know if there is any other reason besides this for the same symptoms. What happens if it’s due to something else. Yes I did click on to the next video.
Hi. Dr. Berg your videos are amazing, thank you so much. I have pain on the left side of the neck that goes down to the stomach area (left side).

Dear Dr. Berg, thank you so much for you great, informative videos. Much appreciated. Was diagnosed prediabetic in 2015 with H1c of 6.4 but did not pay attention. Nothing was explained. I did not take the prescribed medicine but stopped alcohol for several months and lost 25 lbs and figured I was good. H1c remained at 6.4 for 6-years until I contacted Covid then immediately shot up to 8.6. I was now prescribed Metformin but discovered your enlightening videos and got off carbs and started intermittent fasting about 3-weeks ago. Lost 15 pounds and daily sugar testing has my typical blood sugar under 150. All good,thank you. Question: many of your videos refer to the gall bladder- mine was removed many years ago as was probably many others. Can you elaborate on this condition sometimes when discussing how the gallbladder affects intermittent fasting and diabetes, etc., please?
Please accept my gratitude for how you have given me the knowledge to control my own health.

Please Make a Video for People with Diabetics and Video for People with Heatt Desease and Video for People with Gastroenterology and Liver Enzymes Problems and Video for People with Kidney Problems - All Specifics for each Category for Intermittent Fasting with Focus Tips based on their Issues. It would be so so so much better! I am a heart surgery by 40s due to early Heart Desease and not following an Endocrinology Doctor like you and a Heart Surgeon and Nutriciologists before 😀 since my teens. Probably I would have avoided it if being religious about staying within 4 lbs from ideal weight, as now with Heart Meds, anything more than 5-7 lbs of extra weight puts me in Pre-Diabetes Category and I thank you so much like God that you did a Video explaining simple yet not used HOMO-IR Test which until I asked based on your video no one cared to do for me. Same thing for Explaining the Cholesterol and Triglycerides Elevated slightly level which for people with Early Heart Desease are so deadly and must be dealt earlier by Diet and Nutrition and Exercise and doing proper tests, for me sadly KETO diet with Tons of Animal Protein and Fat is not suitable, but Intermittent Fasting was a Lifesaver for over 3 years since Heart Surgery to keep not Becoming Diabetic and Prevent Weight Gain and Insulin Resistance caused by Statins, Amlodipine and more... Thank you again!
Yup, I ran into gallbladder sludge while on a prolonged fast I had to back off the extended fasts to clear the sludge. This was a 12 to 18 months after I went keto and did extended fasts every quarter. I would have gallbladder pain after about 18-20 hours of fasting. I had a gallbladder ultrasound scan (probably a good idea), and there were no stones. Having seen something about it on this channel, I figured it was sludge.
It took a couple months, but I did clear the sludge. I don't remember if I took TUDCA or not. I did take Dr Berg's Gallbladder formula-one of the few products of his I actually have used. I also took an herbal formula that had Silymarin Milk Thistle, Artichoke Extract, Dandelion Root, Organic Turmeric and Berberine. I researched online, and there were some radical treatments I didn't try because some said they were dangerous. I just waited it out after verifying there were _no_ gallstones.
@@pabloblanco2656 I said "I just waited it out after verifying there were gallstones." I omitted the word "no.." Good catch. Thanks!
@@CarbageMan your welcome. I'm very detailed oriented so I pay attention to detail.
@@CarbageMan Don't let any MD talk you into having gallbladder removal unless it's truly needed. Make sure it's a last ditch effort. If you have sludge just steer clear of saturated fat, trans fats and cooking oils like canola oil and steer clear of fatty meats like bacon and sausage. Basically everything that is deep fried with grease and or that has high fat greasy food.
@@pabloblanco2656 I don’t get this. Eating saturated fat causes the liver to produce bile. It also causes the gallbladder to contract, to push out it’s stored bile to help process the fat. My tiny mind says that eating fat must therefore be a GOOD thing because the gallbladder cannot stagnate and create an environment where sludge and gallstones can form. Surely a low-fat diet is a bad thing. 🤔
@@louk6196 He’s one of those fools who still believes fat in meat is unhealthy and that we should avoid saturated fat, which is untrue. The grease on greasy food which has been deep fried is actually rancid SEED oils and sometimes they contain partially hydrogenated oil which then becomes a transfat. This is what you should avoid as it is a strong inflammatory and causes major oxidative stress.
YOU ARE WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!! ♡
Are there any contraindications against taking Tudca?

Dr. Berg thank you so much for all the videos you make about the liver. I was wondering if you had any input on fat burners and the damage it can cause on your liver. When I was younger I used these fat burners and now I feel like it has caused great damage to my liver. Thank you so much!
I was going to ask if TUDCA can relieve it (because it’s similar to Ursodioxycholic acid). It turns out it was the main recommendation here is this video ! Awesome. Will continue using it. (I was slightly hesitant before this).
God richly bless you Dr 🙏🏼
Thank you Dr Eric. Your advise and presentation is really informative and helpful
i read a study claiming Red Sage has the ability to help reverse cirrhosis. not sure if it works, but maybe this info will help someone.
So i was not informed about the damages of antibiotics before a dermatologist prescribed me to take 3 pills a day UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Went on 3 weeks and my stomach never was the same since. I did keto and OMAD for 7 weeks strong with green tea every morning and eating primarily eggs as my meal. I lost 35lbs but im having some of the issues i had before and i have really reduced my carb intake and still fast for roughly 12 or more hours regularly
I need advice
Hi Dr. Berg, thanks for another great info segment on a topic that'll surely be beneficial to many, many people.
I'm 90 days into keto dieting and intermittent fasting. More recently I've transitioned to OMAD, along with lemon juice + ACV, green tea, vitamins, minerals, greens, etc. Life is good and I'm feeling GREAT, thanks to you. Keep up the great work -- you're helping more people than you may realize!
Doc, thank you so much for the awesome video! I practice intermittent fasting thrice a week or so, and it makes me feel really good. Is that ok? Or should I give it a miss..? Many thanks!
It’s interesting to see all these comments about Tudca. It’s been well known in the underground bodybuilding communities as pretty much the only thing that really offers the most solid protection against the hepatoxic effects of orally consumed anabolic androgen hormones. Someone could have ALT and AST in the 400s for their liver enzymes on blood work indicating their liver is seriously struggling big time and then they begin taking at the very least 500mg but preferably at least a gram a day and within 2 weeks or less in most cases those same enzymes will now be down to the 30s. There is a prescription version you could get your doctor to write for you so you could get it for cheaper potentially if you have good insurance except it’s a bit different instead of TUDCA it’s UDCA the main difference being the TUDCA has a Taurine in the beginning hence the letter T in Tudca for Taurine tauroursodeoxycholicacid. I’ve seen it debated often some people claim the TUDCA to be better while others claim the UDCA to be better I wish I could find a proper study comparing both their benefits and downsides. Now One thing I’m not sure of that if anyone could clarify for me I would appreciate it but only if you really know what you are talking about because the older I get the more I realize how often so many people have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. But here’s my question say with Magnesium Taurate for example after consuming it as it gets processed by your system the magnesium is separated from the Taurine so then at that point you get the benefits of both the Taurine and the magnesium when you take Tudca and it gets processed do you end up with Taurine and Udca separately? Or does it remain as one compound? I’m assuming they have completely different types of bonds but I never took a chemistry class so I don’t know this at all.
What do you think of Dr Andreas Moritz ?
