So glad I cancelled my surgery 25 years ago!! I drank 2 cups of olive oil every night for 3 nights, slept on my side with my arm above my head. To remove sludge....it worked!! Old wise neighbour told me to try it..
Drink tart cherry juice and organic sqeezed apple juice from apples the week up to doing this to soften the stones first and it makes it even easier. Buy the book the amazing liver and gallbladder flush for the whole protocol safely. (Andreas Moritz)
Thank you for this info. I know a lot of people who have had their gall bladders removed and were never told any of this. It's sad that the medical community keeps secrets. We need more doctors like you.
I had my gallbladder removed 8 years ago. A stone was stuck in it and causing me incredible pain. After the surgery I asked if there’s anything I needed to know and the doctors told me no. They didn’t give me any information at all about the gallbladder or living without it. It has been 8 years of trial and error. Thank you Dr Berg for your sound information.
@@Drberg Yea, thank you so much Dr. Berg! Your information you share has been life changing to me. I lost 150 pounds in a year following a lot of your videos. I love your supplements and feel good taking them every day!
I had my gallbladder removed when I was 17. I’m 51 now and I know that a lot of my health issues started when I was younger. I was overweight and none of the doctors ever told me I needed to do anything about losing my gallbladder except don’t eat fried food. Now I’m taking your gallbladder formula and have had less issues. Thank you for always explaining things so thoroughly Dr. Berg!
Wish I’d never had gall bladder removed- docs did tests and said it was low functioning-must come out. Surgeon got the gall bladder and also “accidentally” totally severed my main bile duct! This was not detected until almost a week later (duct had a clip on the severed end or I likely would not be here). Long, expensive road to recovery after many more tests and procedures plus major surgery to build a work around for the bile duct function. Praise God we have better ready access these days to this kind of information to help make better health decisions. Thanks so much for posting helpful info 🎉
To anyone....Every surgeon has a first day with a superior "observing". That does not eliminate risks.....it permits them....as it is the "apprenticeship" approach....with impunity.
sounds terrible what happened to you, hope you heal from it. These helpful info by Dr. Berg is being actively censored and eventually they (World Economic Forum) want to remove this type of access from the world. Good if he also uploads to Bitchute & Odysee
I had my gall bladder removed last year! I had an amazing surgeon! So glad I did ! I Been maintaining a healthy diet of course and intermittent fasting and OMAD !! Thank God Bc I have no more pain and no fat gained! 🎉
I had my gallbladder removed because it stopped working after long term steroid use after an accident, however, I did not have any stones. Before the accident I had an ultrasound and my liver was nice and healthy. 6 months after, I had non alcoholic fatty liver disease. I am now on a carnivore diet and basically clearing out my system and I feel fantastic. Thank you for sharing this information.
I got my gallbladder removed at the age of 19. Dr gave me no information on how to live without a gallbladder. I'm now left with SO many health issues. Since discovering Dr Berg, i'm taking 1 step at a time. Thank you Dr Berg
Me too, I had mine out 20 years ago and never had an issue and back then I was eating fried foods, fatty meats, cake, cookies etc…now I am on KETO and eating fat but still no digestive issues, however to make sure my vitamins absorb I am starting bile salts.
hey can you tell me more about your galbladder removal and the possible negative side effects on your life after the removal, and also the positive effects after the removal. Thank you very much
After 8 years of excruciating abdominal pain and other abdominal area issues, my gallbladder was removed (packed w/stones; some the size of a quarter). I was 55 and followed a strict low fat diet combined with excessive exercise. Anyway, my issues immediately stopped. Fortunately I had zero post surgery issues. I’m now 73 and still issue free. Blood tests show healthy liver and kidneys. I follow Dr. Bergs advice. Diet, exercise, vitamins.
@@theresadavis-bowling2808 Full disclosure and honesty here; my surgery was in 2006. I was never instructed on post cholecystectomy diet, however I followed what I thought was moderately clean eating. Nothing strict, no fad dieting…just normal moderation choices…(what I thought of as healthy). I’d never heard of Keto back then. I still haven’t tried Keto yet, but you should know your liver will still make enough bile to digest your food without a gallbladder. Instead of bile being stored in the gallbladder now, it drips continuously into your digestive system. I hope you have an easy recovery.
@@tbascoebuzz4782 thank you so much responding. I feel like crap I haven’t been able to go to the bathroom I bought some milk of magnesia ,fiber gummy’s and stool softener. I just want to feel better. Again I appreciate you and I thank you!
@@theresadavis-bowling2808 My dr. sent me home with a prescribed suppository. They looked like a Vaseline bullet. But golly, they worked fast….practically had to have my hand on the bathroom doorknob before inserting one of those. The prescription was for 4 of them. I only needed one.
Had my gall bladder removed when I was in my 30ths. The dr came to my room and said I had 30 large stones, and they didn't count the medium or smaller stones. Was given NO information on what was to occur --- I'm now 86 and have had NO problems. (did suffer 10 years prior to the surgery, was told I had an ulcer). So now I tell myself they didn't know much back then. I was cut from the middle of my stomach to the hip. Now they have 4 - 5 small holes. I do not have much love for doctors.
But harsh. Doctors are people too and some are trying to help and do the best they can. A lot of times people do this to themselves through their poor eating habits that they willingly chose to do
That is how my aunts surgery was like. She rould roughly be 102 if she was still with us. She got sick after breaking her hip. That was what took her out.
Yes! I had mine out 27 years ago, right shoulder pain, chronic diarrhea is something I’ve had to live with. There was no after care advice, and they offered no other alternative than removing. It’s been a challenge living a normal life.
I wish I would have seen this headline three weeks ago before my emergency gall bladder surgery. I’m actually so traumatized by the experience I cannot watch it. I’ve been in and out of the hospital four times now with complications because of the surgery. I’ve lost 22lbs and fear I will never be well again. Hopefully when I can get over the trauma of this experience I’ll actually be able to watch the video and find some hope.
Oh I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I can feel your pain. I am supposed to be getting surgery, but I don't know with all these comments. I just don't want to end up in an emergency situation
@@gettinghealthywithstasia THINK TWICE and do lots of your own research before you take the plunge. Botched gallbladder removals happen frequently ( and of course that isn't widely advertised) and those botch jobs can send you on many years of I'll health , pain and suffering on top. If I had it to do over again, I would try EVERYTHING holistically to avoid the surgery.
So sorry for what you are going through. The body is very adaptable and it also responds to your thoughts so do your best to send it loving healing messages maybe through healing affirmations while you sleep (so they go straight to your subconscious). There are many options on RUclips. You will get through this! 💕
@@me6737 Watch this video then ask yourself why? Life will never be the same again…I wish could talk to the doctor that did mine…he was in rush to remove mine…probably a good pay day for him…
What are you experiencing, Colleen? I’m looking for information for a friend who had the surgery years ago. Not only does he still have horrible side effects, but instead of weight gain, he cannot keep weight on. He is really suffering. Will pray for you.
@cindyebner5331 Mine was removed. I developed an inxisional hernia, weight gain and must eliminate certain foods or you will have a diarrhea issue. Not good.
@@n.p.3145 Thank you for your reply. Really appreciate it! My heart SOOOOOOO goes out to you! I read in at least a few places that that surgery only helps about 60 percent of the people. That’s terrible! They need to find a better solution. Will pray for you! 🙏
I had my gallbladder removed 20 years ago and they told me nothing about bile salts or anything. They told me not to eat fat, fried foods etc…I did that but after awhile I got tired of not eating fried chicken, cake, cookies, meat etc…I started eating that for years with no digestive issues or any symptoms at all. I learned about the malabsorption issues from Dr Berg, when I started KETO 6 months ago, and I am now taking bile salts to make sure my D3 and other fat soluble vitamins are being absorbed. Thank God for Dr Berg!
hey i also need a galbladder removal surgery but feel scared due to possible side effects/limitations afterwards in life. Can you workout as hard as you want, and your fat intake as much as you want without issues? And in general now do you feel better after the removal of the galbladder, or maybe diarhea or something? Please reply, this would help me alot.
@yfdz6959 Yes, I feel much better without it. I eat whatever I want or work out and no problems at all. When eating fatty food, you might have diarrhea, according to my doctor, but it has never been a case with me. Good luck!
One of the best explanations I’ve heard since having mine out 3 years ago. I’ve never been overweight and always been active, so when they told me (after an attack) I don’t fit the profile and I needed it out, I was surprised. I may have thought twice if I had this information at hand. Thank you!
My surgeon said he there's really no scan or test to tell if the gallbladder truly must be removed. It comes down to point where the patient is experiencing frequent debilitating gallbladder attacks. I saw him multiple times, where he told me he wouldn't take it out. I finally tearfully begged him to remove it, and he removed it the same day. US healthcare system is awesome in that way! After the surgery, he said my gallbladder was totally abscessed and could have gone septic within days. He said my condition was absolutely life threatening. I've had absolutely no detectable issues since the surgery. It's been the biggest upgrade to my life, ever!
Thank you Dr. Berg for this invaluable info! I've had my gallbladder removed with eight stones 20 years ago. After the operation I was back in hospital a week later due to complications, as I had been on the NHS waiting list for four years to get it removed. The many cholic attacks were very painful. It took me many years to understand what I could or couldn't eat. As you mentioned what helped me is a low carb diet, everything in moderation, and I stopped drinking alcohol.
My daughter developed IBS and panic attacks after her gull bladder was removed at the age of 14. It just stopped working out of the blue, no rhyme or reason. She was on Paxil for about a year, but didn't want to take it anymore. She also developed (discovered maybe) that she has a gluten and lactose allergy. She suffered a lot in her teen years until she finally got a handle on it with digestive enzymes and watching her diet. Thank the Lord she's doing much better now. Prayers to those who are dealing with these issues!
My husband suffered for 2 yrs, then found out that his gallbladder was functioning at 18%. Dr told him to cut out ALL gluten. Within 3 weeks, he stopped hurting. Its been 8 yrs and he still fine ( as long as he doesn't eat gluten.)
Same here. When I did Atkins, all IBS symptoms disappeared. Realized that I the removal of gallbladder triggered gluten sensitivity. Please have your daughter to keep an eye on her colorectal health because I found a study that ties GB removal to IBS to colorectal cancer.
My father had his gallbladder removed in 2016. He was diagnosed with bile duct cancer in 2020. He also had non alcoholic cirrhosis. We were shocked because we felt he was generally healthy. Doctors felt that his cancer could have been due to the removal of his gall bladder. RIP Dad. I miss you everyday. Thank you Dr Berg!
Struggled with gall bladder attacks and stopped all dairy and artificial sweeteners. Watched all fatty oils closely. …found I can consume “organic” dairy without having an attack. Also was able to consume “organic” beef, without having an attack. Vinegar and fresh squeezed lemon is part of every day meal planning. I can not tolerate fast food. Which is kinda sad, as I miss the idea of a breakfast sandwich and hash browns, but two bites in…and I already feel the warning signals. I need to keep my gall bladder for a future time when the hospital needs a reason to take me in.
Thanks for the information. I had a GB attack after doing uninformed intermittent fasting. I chose to keep my gall bladder because everything was back to normal after the large stone passed. I ate less fatty foods and more veg. Two years later, I took the medicine for the other big ‘c’ after getting it from a relative’s exposure. Gallstones is one of the side effects of the medication. Hospital let me sit in pain for a day, passing the stones, having pancreatitis before giving painkillers. Again, they tried to railroad me into removal surgery and something inside told me it wasn’t right. Even the nurses who cared for me quietly advised not to do it. I went home after arguing with teams(yes, TEAMS) of doctors coming by to pressure me into surgery. I realized surgeries were down and the docs wanted to really perform one for their residents😂. Got a second opinion from a GI doc who prescribed some stone breaking drug and another surgeon. By then it’s been months and I was back to normal. That was nearly three years ago. Eating better and staying away from unnecessary medications for me has helped tremendously. I’ve only had my seasonal allergies and one cold during all of this time since 2020.
Can you please mention the intermittent fasting window that got you the gall bladder stones? What was the stone breaking drug you were prescribed? Thanks a lot in advance.
@@georgelynn2782 It was informal where o didn’t eat until 3p and then another meal after 7-8p. I also had an elevated bad cholesterol level. I believe the drug name was Actigall or generic Ursidiol.
Dr. Berg you have mentioned every single symptom I’ve been having since I got my Gallbladder removed! I’ve even been going to a chiropractor because I thought the pain might be coming from my back. No help! I’m going to try your recommendations.
Absolutely . My mom had it removed , although skeptical as a biologist , and she suffered the consequences. After this she got colon cancer I lost her after a 9 , 5 years battle with the big dirty C.. Part of me is lost with her..
Silvia, may the Lord comfort you today, 🙏🏽. Hope Dr. Berg realized that the Creator gave him a great 🎁. An amazing purpose in life: to EDUCATE, and encourage his viewers. ❤
I had my gall bladder out 29 years ago and was told exactly that, you don’t need it! Knowing what I’ve learnt now I am wishing I still had it. Strict high fat carnivore now, 2 years. Took me 6-8 months to adapt to all that fat and now I am fine. Just the occasional issue but feel much better now.
Me too. Had my gallbladder removed 22 years ago. Just recently I started month seven on carnivore and my digestive system is finally coming around. First month was absolute hell! The fats would just run right through me. Basically I couldn’t leave the house for long periods. I almost abandoned the diet but marched on. Glad I did. I still struggle with bacon have been avoiding it. Feel best on the lion diet. Eggs with a couple tablespoons of butter once in a while seems to be okay. However, nothing replaces consistently eating ribeye, porterhouse, or 73/27 ground beef.
I had mine removed early in life all I was told was later in life I'd experience difficulties ... when I asked what kind of difficulties .. he just said not to worry about now you're still young ...well now I know .. Thankyou Dr Berg.
Thx Dr Berg, I made a huge mistake by removing my g bladder in 1994. I wish that I had found this info back then but the internet information wasn't available back then.
Gallbladder attacks were VERY painful for me. Anxiety of gall attacks while taking care of kids and a newborn... I went straight for the surgery. Wish I hadn't, but it's too late now. If only I'd found Dr. Berg sooner... 😅 Thanks Dr. BERG!!❤
I had mine removed several years after my 2 kids were born. After my first, my thyroid went bad, and I think it's all tied together. But wish I would have known more then.
Well, if you decide to, I'm sure it's not the worst thing either. There is no need to feel bad about your decision. I also know three people who had theirs removed on an emergency basis, and one of them had such an infection that they ended up removing part of her liver in the process. It's hard to know what each individual needs. All we can do is our best and move on from there, right...@alnona8025 good luck to you, wishing you the best of health!
I’m supposed to get mine out this Wednesday. Just did preop and then this popped up on my phone. I’m in pain and thought removal was the only way to get relief. Anyone else get a terrible acidic taste In their mouth?
Happy after got mine removed. No more pain! No more weight loss. Been 20 yrs and no problems. I couldn’t eat fat with my bad gall bladder. Caused terrible pain. I never had bad cholesterol.
I have a distended to gall bladder but no stones. Apparently this is very unusual. I've been referred to the surgeons. I have high cholesterol and wonder if my gallbladder is causing high cholesterol. The doctor wanted to give me statins but I refused to take statins.
I had my gallbladder removed 20 years ago after taking progesterone to get pregnant with child number 3 (I had reoccurring miscarriages and my doctor thought it would help). I did fine for about 10 years and then I started having issues at the same time as perimenopause started. It got worse as I entered actual menopause. My doctor recommended taking digestive enzymes. They have done wonders. No more bouts of diarrhea or heartburn. No more aching feeling on my right side under my rib cage.
I didn't have any gallbladder symptoms until it went gangrene. Emergency surgery to remove it resulted in it rupturing in my abdomen, spilling contents everywhere. 8 hours on the op table to clean it up. A year later (2023) I had hepatic/liver abscesses and sepsis. A week in the hospital and they removed 4 more stones from my liver bile ducts and had to remove a bit of the liver. A year later, I sit here, with the same exact symptoms that have returned, but no apparent abscesses at this time. I feel like I am being told to wait until they can "see something"...I'm anemic, elevated ALP (200) and nauseated, pale icky stools, with nightly itchness and fevers...but because they cannot see anything on a CT or MRi, I'm being told not to worry, that they'll keep an eye on things come back in 6 months for another scan. My God...I'm trying to head this off at the pass, but I'm at a loss
I was supose to have my gallbladder removed 20yrs ago due to gall stones I decided to do a gallbladder flush it worked passed all the stones no surgery. Thank God! Doctors never told me this was even possible. Love our medical system
They called me after a ultrasound sound to schedule a surgery. No consultation what so ever. I have jumped into high gear to clean my liver and take bile salts to reduce the gall stones… hope this works. Writing this before watching the video.
Do the olive oil and lemon juice cleanse it works! Lemon juice softens the stones and you can pass them. 5cm stones according to ultrasound. Lots of them all passed and a year later still no symptoms.good luck
ACV = Apple Cider Vinegar DILUTED in water, about 1 table spoon in a water bottle = some 2 cups. Drinking this in place of just water all day long, and definitely no sodas, has helped some people. More information throughout the comments. There are entire videos on drinking apple cider vinegar water. Personally I do it all the time, helps me digest food and just feel better. RAW ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WITH THE MOTHER.
1 or 2 table spoons of ACV in a regular water bottle. Absolutely no sodas, none at all. I drink ACV water all the time, it helps me feel better, and helps with digestion.
For anyone watching these gallbladder removal videos make sure you understand WHY you're having the gallbladder removed before avoiding the procedure. For instance, if you have biliary dyskinesia you are already experiencing inefficient or no bile + swollen gallbladder issues. The gallbladder removal can be an improvement because it might allow bile back into your system that was previously blocked and it removes the swelling issues that occurred.
I had biliary dyskinesia and it has reversed ( I had a recent hida scan and it's fully functional again 🙏). I also don't have sludge anymore just small gallstones. But I was told by a surgeon that they didn't know what causes it and that many patients that have their gallbladder removed with this still have the same problems after their gallbladder is removed. So I took his advice and didn't get it out. It was over a year of taking digestive enzymes , ox bile, different bitters and nac but I still have it. Yes I do still have gallstones and had a recent bile duct blockage but no infection and it worked it's way out . I have very small gallstones.
FYI...your channel is probably one of the best ones on RUclips for human health. (not the only one) Not trying to stir up stuff....just asking fair questions. (I think).
I had a golf ball-sized stone and excessive, frequently recurring pain. They said it had to be removed. After surgery, I had pain, kept waking up all night asking for pain killer, and my roommate ate my breakfast because I couldn't. Doctors told me to watch fats after removal. Wish I had known what you have revealed, Doc Still, thank you.
A year and a half ago my gut dysbiosis got so bad that I had complete gut paralysis. I could feel the existing food in my intestines turning putrid. I immediately started a prolonged fast then followed Dr. Berg's protocol of ox bile, betaine HCL and TUDCA. After the everything cleared out I felt a gurgling followed by relief around my gallbladder, I started being able to digest food again and within two months I had good digestion. Pay close attention, these videos are life savers.
Dr Berg! I had major pressure & pain on my gall bladder when i found your videos. Definitely had a problem starting there. I bought your gallbladder formula and all the pain went away. After i finished the bottle there was no problems. A few months later, it started to feel pressure there again so i went the cheap method and just bought some oxbile on amazon. It sorta worked and releived pressure but would come back a couple days later. After going that route like 2 months till the oxbile was gone, the problem still persisted. So i had to get another one of your blends. This was like 2 months ago. After just a week, your mix had once again made all signs of the problem gone again.
Husband had GB attacks - very painful, crippling. First attack, the hospital gave him pain killer ( he gets very sick on that , but told him what problem was. He went back a week later for another attack. They left him in the hall vomiting from pain because they figured he just wanted to abuse the pain killer situation- even though they knew what pain it was from . Just said he needed to line up the surgery. Where is the empathy in the medical system ? He did get it done . Thanks a lot !! Oh and the drain tube ? The nurse said “ sorry this is going to hurt” as she literally yanked that tube out of his side ! That was in Whiting Indiana. Very bad hospital
Umm I'm from CT and they yanked the tube out of my side as well when I had mine removed at 15 years old. I'm 39 now and I still remember that pain but they also had me on IV morphine
All those people in that horrible hospital, hv no need in practicing medicine. Hope u go back one day and give them a piece of your mind. They sound like they would be better at workjng in a butcher shop. Absolutely no empathy at all.!!!!!
Andreas Mortiz's protocol has been working wonders for me. 6 liver/gallbladder flushes later and thousands of stones removed from my hepatic bile ducts, and I won't stop until they're all gone. Haven't had a gallstone attack since my 2nd liver/gallbladder flush.
@@DN-rg9nj oh yes, VERY visible in the toilet 😁. I've even collected some of them as samples and took pics to show people who are curious about my experience.
Yes. Andreas Moritz is the man. I’ve had gallstone issues for 1.5 years now. Not been able to do a flush yet due to other health issues but his insights definitely helped me with my gallbladder and saved my liver.
Have to get rid of my h pylori right now and get a bit stronger and then will attempt flush. Can’t wait. I’ve been told 7 times over the last 1.5 yrs I’m going to die if I don’t have it removed. Ended up with an infected gallbladder a month ago. Doctors consultants all useless and liars
Thank you. Yor videos have taught me so much about how our bodies work. My wife and i now take, D3 10,000 IU, K2 mk7 100ug, Magnesium Glycinate, B1 Benfotiamine plus completely changed diet. Thank you❤️👍
NOW I KNOW FOR SURE ALL MY PAIN SPOTS. YOU JUST COVERED! SO IT IS MY GAL BLADDER AND NOT MY KIDNEYS OR MY LIVER! OH THANK YOU DR, BERG MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏
I remember doing this when I first discovered you. This totally convinced me. I felt a wonderful release after I misaged both sides. I used to have neck pain for years and years. Dr after Dr to enebiral surgery on my neck but a big but I still had pain in shoulder and roumboy. No longer only thanks to you. I love knowing what I do because of you
Dr. Berg, That was a lot of info for my average brain to take in. I listened to it because my husband had his gallbladder removed. It did help me understand things better. Thank you.
I had gallbladder issues whenever I fasted longer than 18 or 20 hours. I didn't want to remove my gallbladder, so I saw keto-friendly doctor. I had an ultrasound scan, and I was told it was sludge. I took gallbladder support supplements and over a period of a few months, I passed the sludge. After several months, I could do extended fasts again with no gallbladder pain. PS: I never took any bile salts. What I took had milk thistle, and other herbs.
@@Yotakirocky100 According to the label of Nature’s Craft Liver Support, it has zinc, milk thistle, beet root, artichoke extract, chanca piedra extract, dandelion, chicory root, yarro, jujube extract, and a proprietary blend of celery seed, alfalfa, burdock root, yellow dock, methionine, grape seed extract, L cysteine, feverfew, NAC, choline turmeric, red raspberry, berberine and ginger.
Great info! Wish I would’ve had this info before my gallbladder was removed. I’ve had many problems since. Was having lots of pain so I went gluten free and that was amazing for me. Within few weeks I got so much better with pain. That was beginning of Dec. Still had lots of stomach issues with stuff I ate. I’ve been eating healthy for months. And was eating somewhat healthy when I had it removed. I watch ALL ingredients I use. I don’t do seed oils and cook everything. I recently gave up most sugars, like honey, coconut sugar, dates etc. also, gave up cheeses. Doing goat cheese tho. I’ve been doing fermented stuff like Keifer, sour krout, quality Greek yogurt and bone broth. Started taking Seed a month ago too. Started with castor oil liver packs nightly few weeks ago and I’m seeing great improvement on my gut. I decided to go to doctor because I’m not digesting my food. I have good bowl movements but not digested. Did blood work and pancreas numbers are high. Had Ct scan and they didn’t see anything. Had recheck two weeks later and number was a bit better but still high. So now I go see gastrologist next week. I’ve been second-guessing that decision, but I am not sure how to handle the non-digested foods, although I’m feeling better and other ways, and I can feel my gut healing. I’ve worked so hard to get to this point, and heal my gut up, but I just can’t seem to figure out the undigested food in my bowel movements movements. Would you have a suggestion for undigested food? Thank you so much for this great info in the video. 😊
I'm confused by what you mean by undigested food? If it's not meat or fat, most of that stuff is loaded with fiber that is not digestible, or it needs cooking and lots of chewing to even get close to digestible. Watch some carnivore doctor channels. They have had interviews with colostomy bag patients who went carnivore simply because undigested non carnivore foods were screwing up their bags. Which is also what happens in the colon.
@@tradermunky1998 my bowel movements have pieces and up until months ago. That doesn’t seem normal or okay to me, but I’ve never experienced that and I’m 51. I eat lots of meats. My husband is a hunter so we eat tons of venison. We, also, buy other meats to change it up. I eat some lettuce and veggies and I eat a decent amount of fruit. Thank you for your response. 😊
@@wendytreft4152 Ah. It might just be you have become more efficient at processing and eliminating what you eat. If it's not meat/fat/water it technically rots which turns it brown and more mushy and less distinguishable in the stool. Less time in the intestines means less time to rot.
Thank you for this information! 5 times I have meant to have surgery and it has been cancelled for whatever reason, chest infection, they cancelled it for additional mri scans or overbooked people. So I reached out to a friend and said I am convinced that the universe is trying to tell me something…. Like not have it done. Should have been done this coming Friday. My friend advised me to watch your videos. I was never given other advice like change your diet, it was you have multiple gallstones so we will remove your gallbladder. So thankful to have been told to watch these!
I am in a very similar situation! I have 5 gallstones and symptoms after 2 rounds of antibiotics (gas, major bloating, dyspepsia, nausea heaerburn), i saw 2 doctors who said I should remove the gallbladder but I just could not accept the fact that we have "disposable" organs. So what advice will you follow now? I am watching videos and wondering about my next steps. Take bile salts supplements? I dont think they disolve the stones though, do they?
@@asmaa1026 I have gone through various of these videos, there are some on how to break the gallstones down, how to prevent. Now I have this information I would really like to try the advice given here before just removing my gallbladder only to run a risk of all the other issues that can arise. The medical people should be giving all advice not just the simple removal
Thank you very much, Dr. Berg, for hearing the cries & answering prayers. I've always believed in you since I was younger & know that you will make a video for those who have had their gallbladder removed one day. It was one of the biggest things that I have 👁 lately. Air hugs 🫂 and air high-five 🤗 Bless 🙌 your beautiful soul. 🙏🙏🙏💜 You are truly amazing 👏 🎉
Dear Doc. Do you remember when you were a student doctor and ate that bun and meat loaf late at night video? Similar here. Since then, I took your info on board, changed my diet and eating habits radically and yesterday, after receiving a call from our health service, cancelled my operation to remove my gallbladder because of the good advise you gave. I Feel good with no similar occurrence for over 2 years and many thanks for your info. As a by-product, a more needy somebody else, can move up the queue to have their particular operation.
I had my gallbladder removed and told that it was “sickly”, no stones. Constipation has been my life, even before the removal. I was also diagnosed in 1982 with Type 2 diabetes, took meds until the end of 2022( I control with herbs, like Berberine, and herbal teas). A1C now is 6.5. Considered taking bile salts, but haven’t. I’ll ask my PCP, who practices alternative medicine. Thank you Dr. Berg! Your videos are always helpful! ❣️
At 25 years old,I kept on having stomach pains,the doctor sent me to a specialist…He told it was my goal bladder and to remove it a it was not needed…. Thank you for this video…nearing 60 and my health has gone from bad to worse….and I have high cholesterol….
I have cut all pop (soda), junk food, bread, beef of any kind, dairy and other things. I now live on black beans, chicken, turkey, romaine lettuce and have recently added bean sprouts, cole slaw (as an add in without sauce) and sauerkraut just to have variety. All gallbladder and pancreas friendly.
Wow! I’m always learning more and more from you than I ever have from all my doctors throughout my life. I have had stomach issues since I can remember. It started more so when I fell off my back deck steps on a rainy slippery Sunday morning. I hit the 8th step, busted 3 ribs, and collapsed a lung. In shock even drove myself to hospital. Returned back to work, 2 1/2 months later, but was still having pain on my right side. Everyone kept telling me it’s just your ribs are still healing, but the pain kept getting worse. Three hospitals later, only one suspected it was my gallbladder. They referred me to see this gallbladder specialist, with all these appointments, it seems like it was forever of getting any help for this. Omg eight months later, the doctor says to me, I’ll never forget this, oh I see you’re still holding your side? I’m thinking, REALLY?? Did he just say that? I’ve been in agonizing pain working through work with this, and he says I see you’re still holding your side? He says because your gallbladder is only working 3%, and it has to come out.. I still remember that pain. This is why I do things naturally, to what’s put on this Earth to heal our bodies. I just wish you were around back then for me .. IBS/ulcerative colitis. I can’t have gluten or dairy. I have huge gut problems to the point of not wanting to eat. So it sounds like I need to start with Bile salts then first? If that doesn’t work then, TUDCA. THANK YOU very much, for helping, and educating us on getting to the root cause, to live our lives pain free. 🥰👍
Almost 30 years ago,I had my gb removed. However, the doctor accidentally cut the main bile duct, causing bile to leak into the abdomen. During a reoperation, part of my intestine was stitched up to the liver. They also mentioned there was inflammation in the gb and I didn’t need it. I’m incredible grateful to have survived. However, I still experience gallbladder pain, which now manifests in my liver. Thank you for always useful knowledge😊
I'm so happy i found your channel. I was supposed to have my gallbladder removed July 2023 and I decided to cancel. I started going to the chiropractor and taking your gallbladder function and tudca. I haven't had gallbladder pain since. My gallbladder was functioning at 17% and now no issues. My cholesterol was creeping up and I'm sure it was because of my gallbladder problems. I'm curious to see what it'll be at my next physical.
It makes sense physicians consider the gall bladder something you can live without, since they don't study nutrition and only " specialists" study digestion.
Crazy all of a sudden I started getting really bad pain around 8 months pregnant (December 2023). I also had gestational diabetes and before that I was put on prednisone for asthma. So glad I found this video because I just had my first baby in January and had to have an emergency c-section. I was crying and dreading another surgery only 3 months after my c-section. I actually came across a girl on TikTok and she was talking about your videos. Thank you for sharing and educating us and giving us alternatives because I was desperately looking for alternatives.
Gallbladder was removed after cancer diagnosis/treatments, when my oncologist recommended it, as it showed a few gallstones and sludge. No worries, since I was "put through the mill", on a super intense chemotherapy regimen, to eradicate the destructive tumor in my head (hard palate). That was in 2009, and ive never noticed a difference in my health, nor digestion. At the current age of 60, I still remain healthy and active, and have never been on any maintenance medications, other than vitamin supplements that support natural aging.
I love you, doctor Berg. You're a lifesaver. I haven't had surgery yet, but have been in pain for 8 years... Which was denied for 8 years as well, untill gallbladder got inflamed. Surgeon called my symptoms (pain from hell) a-typical though, so I didn't dare undergo surgery... I'll try and follow up on your advise... Thanks again.
You are a blessing from above. I lost my gall bladder years ago and I wish I had known then what I know now by listening to these healthy revelations. I suffer alot. I follow your guidelines.
I was told i needed my gallbladder removed 15yrs ago due to overly large stones. Turned out i didn't have gall stones at all. My gallbladder was 100% calcified. Not the average situation/it had to come out, but my whole body has been a nightmare since. Including an enlarged liver and a ball of interior scar tissue the size of a large orange. I can not eat 90% of food anymore. And oddly enough, all of the healthy foods make me the sickest. I'm definitely going to try some of your recommendations. Thank you for another fantastic video!!
I’ve found out lots of things about gallbladder since I’ve had it removed which I’d wished I’d known prior to that. The pain of gall stones was too immense and I collapsed with it. After being in hospital for 5days, I agreed to have it removed. I still get intermittent pain in the region of the gall bladder. Lots of other things going on also. So this video was really helpful.thanks.
I had A lot of gall bladder attacks. The Pain was excruciating!! They wanted to do surgury on me and remove my Gallbladder.I said, No!! I was Always a Praying woman. 🙏. I Went to a Prayer meeting with other woman.I said, God is going to Heal me of this problem . Pain finally left!! Then later in life , I went to a chiropractor for back pain and in the XRay the Dr. Said, you have 3 Crystallized places showing up in this xRay.I believe I had gallstones. But, God!! Crystallized them!! My Great High Physician!! Came @ Healed Me !!! 😅!! Faith is The Currency to God!!
I consulted a surgeon at KP who recommended removing my gallbladder due to moderate sludge. I was surprised to learn she wasn’t aware of TUDCA, which I had been taking for the past two weeks. I’m convinced TUDCA has kept me pain-free for the last four days and reduced the chance of recurrence. Surgeons are trained to recommend surgery, and from a statistical standpoint, it often has a clearer outcome compared to trying other treatments. Dr. Bergs information is giving my bladder a chance 😂
I have had my gallbladder removed 12 years ago and have never had any problems- maybe I had an amazing surgeon. When I had it in, the cholecystitis attacks felt like a heart attack- In my personal opinion, having not had problems- I am glad I took mine out. And my poop is fine. I do also drink apple cider vinegar every day but mainly because I love the taste over juice.
I love the fact that because I've heard you now for years I know what your going to say. Here's to my health and everyone else I encounter who knows Im going to analyze them. Lolo Love you Dr Berg. I love being one of you're Keto couches God Bless to you and Karen.🌹🌹🌹❤
Thank you for this helpful video. A year after gallbladder surgery I am doing well. Hospital gave me a strict diet to also keep my pancreas happy. I will try more of the naturally bitter foods. I can tolerate eating spring salad and need to lightly steam vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli. I recommend to keep a running notebook. Its a lot of information to keep track of.
Very good input! Great to hear from you. Here is another resource that might be of help. Take a look! 👉 www.drberg.com/blog/what-you-must-know-if-you-dont-have-a-gallbladder?srsltid=AfmBOoptP3MhtC8HIGNRpb9cXg1NKuuaqslKdMYbpMDkNdEzi2Wgo2-Y
I had my gallbladder removed maybe... 10 years ago? I had to be rushed to the ER about 5 times for gallbladder attacks (stones)... so painful, one doctor lady told me the pain is worse than giving childbirth. I had a laparoscopic surgery and I've had no side effects. I can eat anything. OK, maybe I digest food a little bit slower, since I now rely on the constant drip, rather that purging all of it from the gallbladder at once. But honestly, I couldn't be happier. I hear that some may suffer from prolonged pain, but I'm all good. You might want to eat a just a little bit smaller portions at a time, but that's beneficial for everyone. I don't really watch for anything different than before. I guess I got lucky with a good doctor and a good surgery. If you're dealing with the option now, I would of course opt for the stone breakup if it can be successful, however. Surgery should always be the last option.
Dr Berg thank you so much your content has improved my life and health over the years, even things I’ve brought up to my PCP and didn’t get much help with, especially related to overall gut health.
It's quite scary how your vids come along when certain subjects are on my mind. I'm having gallbladder issues as we speak. I've got to get through this and look at the option of laser therapy if stones are the issue
I’ve had rather large gallstones for 3 years. My surgeon told me that I may live the rest of my life those stones and may never have an issue. He recommends gallbladder remover ONLY if they become painful or inflamed. Most surgeons would recommend removal. I am lucky but also there is a backlog for surgeries.
8 years ago I had a severe gallbladder attack that was beyond painful and I was rushed to the ER. I didn't know what was wrong with me? I only knew that the pain from 1-10 was a 12! The Doctor in the ER said that I was having a gallbladder attack and that I needed to have the stuck stones that was causing the severe pain removed. He said that my gallbladder needed to be removed and to make an appt. with a specialist, So I did, but the specialist I was recommended to would not answer a few simple questions that I had. That threw up red flags to me! The first simple question I asked him was; What would happen if I decide to keep my gallbladder and eat a more healthier diet? The second question was; What type of diet or complications to expect if I decide to have my gallbladder removed? The third question I asked the Dr. was; Wouldn't my liver have to work overtime due to the missing gallbladder that helps digest our fats?! I was very polite when asking these 3 simple questions to him that he refused to answer and said back to me with a loud boastful voice and a snare on his face; It's Your Life Do What You What With It! I said politely back to him; You know your right! My discernment that the Good Lord gave to me answered all my questions for me and He said to run!!! I'm So grateful that I listened. I am so very Thankful that I still have my gallbladder. The specialist is use to people being sheep to the slaughter and just doing what they tell them to do without batting an eye because it's Big money for them. I believe most Doctors today despise critical thinkers that like to do their research first. Now when I feel my gallbladder acting when I eat something it doesn't like, which is very few, I drink lots of organic apple juice, with fresh squeezed organic lemons and Braggs vinegar, I will sometimes down two teaspoons of Epsom salt when I feel like a bad one coming on and also rub castor oil over the lower half of my stomach area, I then place a piece of plastic wrap over the area I rubbed the castor oil because castor oil is very sticky before placing a warm water bottle over the area while laying down resting for 20 minutes or so to let the castor oil do it's magic. I also do a parasite and gallbladder flush every year or so. I'm so Thankful I still have my gallbladder. Thank You Dr. Berg for all your valuable information and being such a Blessing to all of us! God Bless!
Oh wow that is so inspiring! So did you get rid of your gallstones? How? I am asking cause I have 5 stones and my doctors want me to remove my gallbladder and just like you, i am not convinced it is the only way
@seekerofthetruth omg! That's an inspiring testimony! I am having some pain in the rib area and back. I am having ultra sounds next week. So you took the things listed above for a bad attack- I am going to get these items tomorrow. Do you take the Tudka at all?
I never had any gallstones, but I had gall bladder attach. 15 years ago they performed a gall bladder function test. My gall baldder was only working at 4%, so it was going to be removed. When they were removing it they had to "scrape it off the other organs to remove it". I've never heard about bile salts. Now I have some ideas on what I need to pay attention to. Thank you for the video.
Im getting my gallbladder out next week and i cant wait! Ive been taking bile salts for years. i do liver gallbladder cleanses, ACV you name it and i still have issues. A very large gallstone and severe wall thickening. Nothing ive done over the years has worked.
@@curatedbyrav good. took about 4 weeks for full recovery. I feel great! All my symptoms are gone. I'm happy I did the surgery. I do take Ox bile to help fat digestion.
Easy to remove stones, done over the weekend ,Olive oil ,grapefruit juice ,magnesium sulfate,and milk thistle extract ,I bought a book that describes the protocol when a doctor was about to book me for surgery .Andreas Mortiz's protocol
@@katylwi I think that after reading the book if you feel that it may be too much then part of the protocol is to consume for a period of time before some apples juice or fruit that help to soften the blow ,malic acid as well can be used
@@jean-paulsignoret5467 ACV = Apple Cider Vinegar DILUTED in water 2 tbsp in a water bottle, sip all day long, routinely Also NO sodas, NO icecream, NO junkfood
What is the best way to remove I counted like 7-8 stones and I’m in pain and I want to get them out asap and not have a surgery my side hurts and right side of back
I wish I would have seen this last year. I had emergency surgery at 27 to remove my gallbladder because my gallstones were stuck. I was told it was my only option. I developed a hernia which I had surgery on two weeks ago. Luckily I haven’t noticed any other side effects so far. Thank you for your educational videos!
So glad I cancelled my surgery 25 years ago!! I drank 2 cups of olive oil every night for 3 nights, slept on my side with my arm above my head. To remove sludge....it worked!! Old wise neighbour told me to try it..
Glad ur better :)
But dang, 2 cups of olive oil!? Did you down them or drink them with dinner 🤔
That's pretty smart 👍
Drink tart cherry juice and organic sqeezed apple juice from apples the week up to doing this to soften the stones first and it makes it even easier. Buy the book the amazing liver and gallbladder flush for the whole protocol safely. (Andreas Moritz)
Hulda Clark Protocol.......
🍵? 200ml?😮
Thank you for this info. I know a lot of people who have had their gall bladders removed and were never told any of this. It's sad that the medical community keeps secrets. We need more doctors like you.
This would be me. Never told any of this!
Because if they told you, you might not do it and that would cost them money.
Very glad to be of help.
@@utterlynice1 Nor me.
Good morning Dr i have gallstones problem i would like you to help me please and do you have the Bile and Tudca? Can i order it from you?
I had my gallbladder removed 8 years ago. A stone was stuck in it and causing me incredible pain. After the surgery I asked if there’s anything I needed to know and the doctors told me no. They didn’t give me any information at all about the gallbladder or living without it. It has been 8 years of trial and error. Thank you Dr Berg for your sound information.
The comments speak for themselves! BEWARE of doctors who fail to give you ALL the information BEFORE ANY SURGERY!
Most doctors will give you infotmation if you had good doctors. My mom knew what to do/expect because of her doctor/surgeon.
The fact that we get free medical videos from Doctor Berg on RUclips is priceless.., keeping the education and knowledge alive. 🙏🙏🙏
Very glad to be of help.
@@Drberg Yea, thank you so much Dr. Berg! Your information you share has been life changing to me. I lost 150 pounds in a year following a lot of your videos. I love your supplements and feel good taking them every day!
@@DrbergCan you please make a video on Bell’s palsy in the future thanks!
Can you take bile salts if you have high blood pressure?
My dad used to have bell’s palsy!
I had my gallbladder removed when I was 17. I’m 51 now and I know that a lot of my health issues started when I was younger. I was overweight and none of the doctors ever told me I needed to do anything about losing my gallbladder except don’t eat fried food. Now I’m taking your gallbladder formula and have had less issues. Thank you for always explaining things so thoroughly Dr. Berg!
The man deserves a medal....
What was the the issue you had
Did you eat fatty food
I guess I missed that he has formula.
Dr Berg I take your gallbladder formula and I burp them up. Why?
Wish I’d never had gall bladder removed- docs did tests and said it was low functioning-must come out. Surgeon got the gall bladder and also “accidentally” totally severed my main bile duct! This was not detected until almost a week later (duct had a clip on the severed end or I likely would not be here). Long, expensive road to recovery after many more tests and procedures plus major surgery to build a work around for the bile duct function. Praise God we have better ready access these days to this kind of information to help make better health decisions. Thanks so much for posting helpful info 🎉
How are you doing now? That's so scary :(
Hope things are much better now. Awful to go through that. Wishing you good health!
To anyone....Every surgeon has a first day with a superior "observing". That does not eliminate risks.....it permits them....as it is the "apprenticeship" approach....with impunity.
sounds terrible what happened to you, hope you heal from it. These helpful info by Dr. Berg is being actively censored and eventually they (World Economic Forum) want to remove this type of access from the world. Good if he also uploads to Bitchute & Odysee
Horrible experience and unacceptable how doctors are getting away with these 'mistakes'. Wishing you all the best
I had my gall bladder removed last year! I had an amazing surgeon! So glad I did ! I Been maintaining a healthy diet of course and intermittent fasting and OMAD !! Thank God Bc I have no more pain and no fat gained! 🎉
Who was your surgeon?
You’re lucky. What is OMAD?
I had my gallbladder removed because it stopped working after long term steroid use after an accident, however, I did not have any stones. Before the accident I had an ultrasound and my liver was nice and healthy. 6 months after, I had non alcoholic fatty liver disease. I am now on a carnivore diet and basically clearing out my system and I feel fantastic. Thank you for sharing this information.
Dont we need gallbladder back?
There is research shoong direct correlation between gall bladder removal and the increased risk of developing NASH (fatty liver with fibrosis). Scary
@@Teaganderry how can we get gallbladder back? Is there any treatment?
@@AbsoluteUNIT000 once the gall bladder is gone, there is no way to get it back
@@Teaganderry oh 🥺
I got my gallbladder removed at the age of 19. Dr gave me no information on how to live without a gallbladder. I'm now left with SO many health issues. Since discovering Dr Berg, i'm taking 1 step at a time. Thank you Dr Berg
Update please
I had my gallbladder removed a decade ago. I’m 70. Fortunately I’ve had zero issues. Everything is functioning exactly as if I still had it.
they scare people. I know plenty of people without a gallbladder and doing well without any problems
Me too, I had mine out 20 years ago and never had an issue and back then I was eating fried foods, fatty meats, cake, cookies etc…now I am on KETO and eating fat but still no digestive issues, however to make sure my vitamins absorb I am starting bile salts.
hey can you tell me more about your galbladder removal and the possible negative side effects on your life after the removal, and also the positive effects after the removal. Thank you very much
After 8 years of excruciating abdominal pain and other abdominal area issues, my gallbladder was removed (packed w/stones; some the size of a quarter). I was 55 and followed a strict low fat diet combined with excessive exercise. Anyway, my issues immediately stopped. Fortunately I had zero post surgery issues. I’m now 73 and still issue free. Blood tests show healthy liver and kidneys. I follow Dr. Bergs advice. Diet, exercise, vitamins.
I just had my gallbladder removed this past Monday. Are you able to do keto without a gallbladder? I’m just trying figure out the best way to eat now.
@@theresadavis-bowling2808 Full disclosure and honesty here; my surgery was in 2006. I was never instructed on post cholecystectomy diet, however I followed what I thought was moderately clean eating. Nothing strict, no fad dieting…just normal moderation choices…(what I thought of as healthy). I’d never heard of Keto back then. I still haven’t tried Keto yet, but you should know your liver will still make enough bile to digest your food without a gallbladder. Instead of bile being stored in the gallbladder now, it drips continuously into your digestive system. I hope you have an easy recovery.
@@tbascoebuzz4782 thank you so much responding. I feel like crap I haven’t been able to go to the bathroom I bought some milk of magnesia ,fiber gummy’s and stool softener. I just want to feel better. Again I appreciate you and I thank you!
@@theresadavis-bowling2808 My dr. sent me home with a prescribed suppository. They looked like a Vaseline bullet. But golly, they worked fast….practically had to have my hand on the bathroom doorknob before inserting one of those. The prescription was for 4 of them. I only needed one.
@@theresadavis-bowling2808castor oil will make you go
Had my gall bladder removed when I was in my 30ths. The dr came to my room and said I had 30 large stones, and they didn't count the medium or smaller stones. Was given NO information on what was to occur --- I'm now 86 and have had NO problems. (did suffer 10 years prior to the surgery, was told I had an ulcer). So now I tell myself they didn't know much back then. I was cut from the middle of my stomach to the hip. Now they have 4 - 5 small holes. I do not have much love for doctors.
But harsh. Doctors are people too and some are trying to help and do the best they can. A lot of times people do this to themselves through their poor eating habits that they willingly chose to do
That is how my aunts surgery was like. She rould roughly be 102 if she was still with us. She got sick after breaking her hip. That was what took her out.
@@fionasmith-bz8ox Do more research!
Yes! I had mine out 27 years ago, right shoulder pain, chronic diarrhea is something I’ve had to live with.
There was no after care advice, and they offered no other alternative than removing.
It’s been a challenge living a normal life.
You still have those issues after the surgery? That’s why most people get the surgery because of excruciating painful attacks, diarrhea etc
I wish I would have seen this headline three weeks ago before my emergency gall bladder surgery. I’m actually so traumatized by the experience I cannot watch it. I’ve been in and out of the hospital four times now with complications because of the surgery. I’ve lost 22lbs and fear I will never be well again. Hopefully when I can get over the trauma of this experience I’ll actually be able to watch the video and find some hope.
Oh I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I can feel your pain. I am supposed to be getting surgery, but I don't know with all these comments. I just don't want to end up in an emergency situation
@@gettinghealthywithstasia THINK TWICE and do lots of your own research before you take the plunge. Botched gallbladder removals happen frequently ( and of course that isn't widely advertised) and those botch jobs can send you on many years of I'll health , pain and suffering on top. If I had it to do over again, I would try EVERYTHING holistically to avoid the surgery.
So sorry for what you are going through. The body is very adaptable and it also responds to your thoughts so do your best to send it loving healing messages maybe through healing affirmations while you sleep (so they go straight to your subconscious). There are many options on RUclips. You will get through this! 💕
Had mine out thirteen years ago. Biggest mistake of my life. Please do a video for those who have had it removed!
Why a mistake for you

Life will never be the same again…I wish could talk to the doctor that did mine…he was in rush to remove mine…probably a good pay day for him…
What are you experiencing, Colleen? I’m looking for information for a friend who had the surgery years ago. Not only does he still have horrible side effects, but instead of weight gain, he cannot keep weight on. He is really suffering.
Will pray for you.
@cindyebner5331 Mine was removed. I developed an inxisional hernia, weight gain and must eliminate certain foods or you will have a diarrhea issue. Not good.
@@n.p.3145 Thank you for your reply. Really appreciate it!
My heart SOOOOOOO goes out to you! I read in at least a few places that that surgery only helps about 60 percent of the people. That’s terrible! They need to find a better solution. Will pray for you! 🙏
This explains so much, I have those symptoms and they were DEFINITELY not explained to me when I had mine removed.
I had my gallbladder removed 20 years ago and they told me nothing about bile salts or anything. They told me not to eat fat, fried foods etc…I did that but after awhile I got tired of not eating fried chicken, cake, cookies, meat etc…I started eating that for years with no digestive issues or any symptoms at all. I learned about the malabsorption issues from Dr Berg, when I started KETO 6 months ago, and I am now taking bile salts to make sure my D3 and other fat soluble vitamins are being absorbed. Thank God for Dr Berg!
My gallbladder has been removed for 3 years now. No problems whatsoever. This information is helpful . Thank you Doc.
hey i also need a galbladder removal surgery but feel scared due to possible side effects/limitations afterwards in life. Can you workout as hard as you want, and your fat intake as much as you want without issues? And in general now do you feel better after the removal of the galbladder, or maybe diarhea or something? Please reply, this would help me alot.
@yfdz6959 Yes, I feel much better without it. I eat whatever I want or work out and no problems at all. When eating fatty food, you might have diarrhea, according to my doctor, but it has never been a case with me. Good luck!
@natan1150 I just took out mine on Monday gone. Just came out the hospital. Having some discomfort and hoping for the best
One of the best explanations I’ve heard since having mine out 3 years ago. I’ve never been overweight and always been active, so when they told me (after an attack) I don’t fit the profile and I needed it out, I was surprised. I may have thought twice if I had this information at hand. Thank you!
My surgeon said he there's really no scan or test to tell if the gallbladder truly must be removed. It comes down to point where the patient is experiencing frequent debilitating gallbladder attacks.
I saw him multiple times, where he told me he wouldn't take it out. I finally tearfully begged him to remove it, and he removed it the same day. US healthcare system is awesome in that way!
After the surgery, he said my gallbladder was totally abscessed and could have gone septic within days. He said my condition was absolutely life threatening.
I've had absolutely no detectable issues since the surgery. It's been the biggest upgrade to my life, ever!
Thank you Dr. Berg for this invaluable info! I've had my gallbladder removed with eight stones 20 years ago. After the operation I was back in hospital a week later due to complications, as I had been on the NHS waiting list for four years to get it removed. The many cholic attacks were very painful. It took me many years to understand what I could or couldn't eat. As you mentioned what helped me is a low carb diet, everything in moderation, and I stopped drinking alcohol.
My daughter developed IBS and panic attacks after her gull bladder was removed at the age of 14. It just stopped working out of the blue, no rhyme or reason. She was on Paxil for about a year, but didn't want to take it anymore. She also developed (discovered maybe) that she has a gluten and lactose allergy. She suffered a lot in her teen years until she finally got a handle on it with digestive enzymes and watching her diet. Thank the Lord she's doing much better now. Prayers to those who are dealing with these issues!
Can you please elaborate what did she correct in her diet? I hv the same condition for the last many years after surgery
My husband suffered for 2 yrs, then found out that his gallbladder was functioning at 18%. Dr told him to cut out ALL gluten. Within 3 weeks, he stopped hurting. Its been 8 yrs and he still fine ( as long as he doesn't eat gluten.)
What enzymes did she take
Same here. When I did Atkins, all IBS symptoms disappeared. Realized that I the removal of gallbladder triggered gluten sensitivity. Please have your daughter to keep an eye on her colorectal health because I found a study that ties GB removal to IBS to colorectal cancer.
@SeriouSXXFireworks Digestive enzymes
Dr . Berg you are the only doctor I trust. May God bless you and keep you.
My father had his gallbladder removed in 2016. He was diagnosed with bile duct cancer in 2020. He also had non alcoholic cirrhosis. We were shocked because we felt he was generally healthy. Doctors felt that his cancer could have been due to the removal of his gall bladder. RIP Dad. I miss you everyday. Thank you Dr Berg!
😯
Wow. Sorry for your loss
Struggled with gall bladder attacks and stopped all dairy and artificial sweeteners. Watched all fatty oils closely. …found I can consume “organic” dairy without having an attack. Also was able to consume “organic” beef, without having an attack. Vinegar and fresh squeezed lemon is part of every day meal planning. I can not tolerate fast food. Which is kinda sad, as I miss the idea of a breakfast sandwich and hash browns, but two bites in…and I already feel the warning signals. I need to keep my gall bladder for a future time when the hospital needs a reason to take me in.
Maybe you could make a breakfast sandwich yourself. I make my own, much healthier.
Thanks for the information. I had a GB attack after doing uninformed intermittent fasting. I chose to keep my gall bladder because everything was back to normal after the large stone passed. I ate less fatty foods and more veg. Two years later, I took the medicine for the other big ‘c’ after getting it from a relative’s exposure. Gallstones is one of the side effects of the medication. Hospital let me sit in pain for a day, passing the stones, having pancreatitis before giving painkillers. Again, they tried to railroad me into removal surgery and something inside told me it wasn’t right. Even the nurses who cared for me quietly advised not to do it. I went home after arguing with teams(yes, TEAMS) of doctors coming by to pressure me into surgery. I realized surgeries were down and the docs wanted to really perform one for their residents😂.
Got a second opinion from a GI doc who prescribed some stone breaking drug and another surgeon. By then it’s been months and I was back to normal. That was nearly three years ago. Eating better and staying away from unnecessary medications for me has helped tremendously. I’ve only had my seasonal allergies and one cold during all of this time since 2020.
Can you please mention the intermittent fasting window that got you the gall bladder stones? What was the stone breaking drug you were prescribed?
Thanks a lot in advance.
@@georgelynn2782 It was informal where o didn’t eat until 3p and then another meal after 7-8p. I also had an elevated bad cholesterol level. I believe the drug name was Actigall or generic Ursidiol.

I had my gall bladder out 29 years ago and was told exactly that, you don’t need it! Knowing what I’ve learnt now I am wishing I still had it. Strict high fat carnivore now, 2 years. Took me 6-8 months to adapt to all that fat and now I am fine. Just the occasional issue but feel much better now.
Me too. Had my gallbladder removed 22 years ago. Just recently I started month seven on carnivore and my digestive system is finally coming around. First month was absolute hell! The fats would just run right through me. Basically I couldn’t leave the house for long periods. I almost abandoned the diet but marched on. Glad I did. I still struggle with bacon have been avoiding it. Feel best on the lion diet. Eggs with a couple tablespoons of butter once in a while seems to be okay. However, nothing replaces consistently eating ribeye, porterhouse, or 73/27 ground beef.
I had mine removed early in life all I was told was later in life I'd experience difficulties ... when I asked what kind of difficulties .. he just said not to worry about now you're still young ...well now I know .. Thankyou Dr Berg.
What's wrong now
Thx Dr Berg, I made a huge mistake by removing my g bladder in 1994. I wish that I had found this info back then but the internet information wasn't available back then.
Gallbladder attacks were VERY painful for me. Anxiety of gall attacks while taking care of kids and a newborn... I went straight for the surgery. Wish I hadn't, but it's too late now. If only I'd found Dr. Berg sooner... 😅 Thanks Dr. BERG!!❤
Same. Had surgery 2 weeks ago :(
I had mine removed several years after my 2 kids were born. After my first, my thyroid went bad, and I think it's all tied together. But wish I would have known more then.
I have mine in 2weeks not sure if im going to do it now 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Well, if you decide to, I'm sure it's not the worst thing either. There is no need to feel bad about your decision. I also know three people who had theirs removed on an emergency basis, and one of them had such an infection that they ended up removing part of her liver in the process. It's hard to know what each individual needs. All we can do is our best and move on from there, right...@alnona8025 good luck to you, wishing you the best of health!
I’m supposed to get mine out this Wednesday. Just did preop and then this popped up on my phone. I’m in pain and thought removal was the only way to get relief. Anyone else get a terrible acidic taste In their mouth?
Happy after got mine removed. No more pain! No more weight loss. Been 20 yrs and no problems. I couldn’t eat fat with my bad gall bladder. Caused terrible pain. I never had bad cholesterol.
I have a distended to gall bladder but no stones. Apparently this is very unusual. I've been referred to the surgeons. I have high cholesterol and wonder if my gallbladder is causing high cholesterol. The doctor wanted to give me statins but I refused to take statins.
I had my gallbladder removed 20 years ago after taking progesterone to get pregnant with child number 3 (I had reoccurring miscarriages and my doctor thought it would help). I did fine for about 10 years and then I started having issues at the same time as perimenopause started. It got worse as I entered actual menopause. My doctor recommended taking digestive enzymes. They have done wonders. No more bouts of diarrhea or heartburn. No more aching feeling on my right side under my rib cage.
I didn't have any gallbladder symptoms until it went gangrene. Emergency surgery to remove it resulted in it rupturing in my abdomen, spilling contents everywhere. 8 hours on the op table to clean it up. A year later (2023) I had hepatic/liver abscesses and sepsis. A week in the hospital and they removed 4 more stones from my liver bile ducts and had to remove a bit of the liver. A year later, I sit here, with the same exact symptoms that have returned, but no apparent abscesses at this time. I feel like I am being told to wait until they can "see something"...I'm anemic, elevated ALP (200) and nauseated, pale icky stools, with nightly itchness and fevers...but because they cannot see anything on a CT or MRi, I'm being told not to worry, that they'll keep an eye on things come back in 6 months for another scan. My God...I'm trying to head this off at the pass, but I'm at a loss
So sorry to hear that! How are you now?
I was supose to have my gallbladder removed 20yrs ago due to gall stones I decided to do a gallbladder flush it worked passed all the stones no surgery. Thank God! Doctors never told me this was even possible. Love our medical system
How??
Can please explain how you flush it ?
@yamarahb8532 there are many ways to do it
Go on you tube and see the different ways but I used lemon juice and olive oil method
@@hll8267doesn’t work for anyone. Didn’t for me
They called me after a ultrasound sound to schedule a surgery. No consultation what so ever. I have jumped into high gear to clean my liver and take bile salts to reduce the gall stones… hope this works. Writing this before watching the video.
Do the olive oil and lemon juice cleanse it works! Lemon juice softens the stones and you can pass them. 5cm stones according to ultrasound. Lots of them all passed and a year later still no symptoms.good luck
ACV = Apple Cider Vinegar DILUTED in water,
about 1 table spoon in a water bottle = some 2 cups.
Drinking this in place of just water all day long, and
definitely no sodas, has helped some people.
More information throughout the comments.
There are entire videos on drinking apple cider vinegar water.
Personally I do it all the time, helps me digest food and just feel better.

I wish I had been told all this before I had my gallbladder out. Thank you for this info!
Most welcome!
I have a cholecystitis what do you suggest thank you @@Drberg
For anyone watching these gallbladder removal videos make sure you understand WHY you're having the gallbladder removed before avoiding the procedure. For instance, if you have biliary dyskinesia you are already experiencing inefficient or no bile + swollen gallbladder issues. The gallbladder removal can be an improvement because it might allow bile back into your system that was previously blocked and it removes the swelling issues that occurred.
I had biliary dyskinesia and it has reversed ( I had a recent hida scan and it's fully functional again 🙏). I also don't have sludge anymore just small gallstones. But I was told by a surgeon that they didn't know what causes it and that many patients that have their gallbladder removed with this still have the same problems after their gallbladder is removed. So I took his advice and didn't get it out. It was over a year of taking digestive enzymes , ox bile, different bitters and nac but I still have it. Yes I do still have gallstones and had a recent bile duct blockage but no infection and it worked it's way out . I have very small gallstones.
Thank Dr Berg y'all for teaching us like we are six years old because we didn't know any of this. I'm grateful!!!❤
FYI...your channel is probably one of the best ones on RUclips for human health. (not the only one) Not trying to stir up stuff....just asking fair questions. (I think).
I had a golf ball-sized stone and excessive, frequently recurring pain. They said it had to be removed. After surgery, I had pain, kept waking up all night asking for pain killer, and my roommate ate my breakfast because I couldn't. Doctors told me to watch fats after removal. Wish I had known what you have revealed, Doc Still, thank you.
A year and a half ago my gut dysbiosis got so bad that I had complete gut paralysis. I could feel the existing food in my intestines turning putrid. I immediately started a prolonged fast then followed Dr. Berg's protocol of ox bile, betaine HCL and TUDCA. After the everything cleared out I felt a gurgling followed by relief around my gallbladder, I started being able to digest food again and within two months I had good digestion. Pay close attention, these videos are life savers.
Dr Berg! I had major pressure & pain on my gall bladder when i found your videos. Definitely had a problem starting there. I bought your gallbladder formula and all the pain went away. After i finished the bottle there was no problems. A few months later, it started to feel pressure there again so i went the cheap method and just bought some oxbile on amazon. It sorta worked and releived pressure but would come back a couple days later. After going that route like 2 months till the oxbile was gone, the problem still persisted.
So i had to get another one of your blends. This was like 2 months ago. After just a week, your mix had once again made all signs of the problem gone again.

DR. BERG YOU AND YOURS ARE A BLESSING TO MOST OF US... AND FOR THIS I THANK YOU.❤
Very glad to be of help.
Husband had GB attacks - very painful, crippling. First attack, the hospital gave him pain killer ( he gets very sick on that , but told him what problem was. He went back a week later for another attack. They left him in the hall vomiting from pain because they figured he just wanted to abuse the pain killer situation- even though they knew what pain it was from . Just said he needed to line up the surgery. Where is the empathy in the medical system ? He did get it done . Thanks a lot !! Oh and the drain tube ? The nurse said “ sorry this is going to hurt” as she literally yanked that tube out of his side ! That was in Whiting Indiana. Very bad hospital
The gall bladder inflammation attack was so painful that it made me feel the birth to my child has less pain...😢
Healthcare in Indiana is de-humanizing
Umm I'm from CT and they yanked the tube out of my side as well when I had mine removed at 15 years old. I'm 39 now and I still remember that pain but they also had me on IV morphine
All those people in that horrible hospital, hv no need in practicing medicine. Hope u go back one day and give them a piece of your mind. They sound like they would be better at workjng in a butcher shop. Absolutely no empathy at all.!!!!!
What's a drain tube? 😨😨
Andreas Mortiz's protocol has been working wonders for me. 6 liver/gallbladder flushes later and thousands of stones removed from my hepatic bile ducts, and I won't stop until they're all gone. Haven't had a gallstone attack since my 2nd liver/gallbladder flush.
Excellent 😊
15mm stone flush out
@@DN-rg9nj oh yes, VERY visible in the toilet 😁. I've even collected some of them as samples and took pics to show people who are curious about my experience.
Yes. Andreas Moritz is the man. I’ve had gallstone issues for 1.5 years now. Not been able to do a flush yet due to other health issues but his insights definitely helped me with my gallbladder and saved my liver.
Have to get rid of my h pylori right now and get a bit stronger and then will attempt flush. Can’t wait. I’ve been told 7 times over the last 1.5 yrs I’m going to die if I don’t have it removed. Ended up with an infected gallbladder a month ago. Doctors consultants all useless and liars
Thank you. Yor videos have taught me so much about how our bodies work. My wife and i now take, D3 10,000 IU, K2 mk7 100ug, Magnesium Glycinate, B1 Benfotiamine plus completely changed diet. Thank you❤️👍
NOW I KNOW FOR SURE ALL MY PAIN SPOTS. YOU JUST COVERED! SO IT IS MY GAL BLADDER AND NOT MY KIDNEYS OR MY LIVER! OH THANK YOU DR, BERG MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏
Very glad to be of help.
@@Drberg yes you always help me or someone I can pass your knowledge and wisdom on to! God bless you Dr Berg and your family
I remember doing this when I first discovered you. This totally convinced me. I felt a wonderful release after I misaged both sides. I used to have neck pain for years and years. Dr after Dr to enebiral surgery on my neck but a big but I still had pain in shoulder and roumboy. No longer only thanks to you. I love knowing what I do because of you
He is so easy to listen to. Thank you Dr. Berg!!!
Most welcome!
Dr. Berg, That was a lot of info for my average brain to take in. I listened to it because my husband had his gallbladder removed. It did help me understand things better. Thank you.
This is one of, if not, the best videos you've ever done! So clear! Love the step-by-step explanation of the things you mentioned. 👍👍👍👍
Lieber Dr. Berg, ihre Erkäuterungen und Illustrationen sind jedesmal eine Bereicherung. Vielen Dank!
Thanks to your formula, I no longer need a Gallbladder removal... X
What worked for you?
Dr Bergs Gallbladder supplement...@@EdimentalGardens
That's great!
@@DrbergI wish you could make this video earlier bcz my stupid doctor told me to remove it
Hello, my mother has Stones in her gallbladder, what did you do to get rid them?
I had gallbladder issues whenever I fasted longer than 18 or 20 hours. I didn't want to remove my gallbladder, so I saw keto-friendly doctor. I had an ultrasound scan, and I was told it was sludge. I took gallbladder support supplements and over a period of a few months, I passed the sludge. After several months, I could do extended fasts again with no gallbladder pain.
PS: I never took any bile salts. What I took had milk thistle, and other herbs.
What other herbs,please?
@@Yotakirocky100 According to the label of Nature’s Craft Liver Support, it has zinc, milk thistle, beet root, artichoke extract, chanca piedra extract, dandelion, chicory root, yarro, jujube extract, and a proprietary blend of celery seed, alfalfa, burdock root, yellow dock, methionine, grape seed extract, L cysteine, feverfew, NAC, choline turmeric, red raspberry, berberine and ginger.
@@CarbageMandid you rescan to see if there was sludge?
@@ngce Why? The issue stopped.
the one front dr berg gb support ? same mine hurt after 4 - 5 hours of fasting =( i just want to fast without pain
Great info! Wish I would’ve had this info before my gallbladder was removed. I’ve had many problems since. Was having lots of pain so I went gluten free and that was amazing for me. Within few weeks I got so much better with pain. That was beginning of Dec. Still had lots of stomach issues with stuff I ate. I’ve been eating healthy for months. And was eating somewhat healthy when I had it removed. I watch ALL ingredients I use. I don’t do seed oils and cook everything. I recently gave up most sugars, like honey, coconut sugar, dates etc. also, gave up cheeses. Doing goat cheese tho. I’ve been doing fermented stuff like Keifer, sour krout, quality Greek yogurt and bone broth. Started taking Seed a month ago too. Started with castor oil liver packs nightly few weeks ago and I’m seeing great improvement on my gut.
I decided to go to doctor because I’m not digesting my food. I have good bowl movements but not digested. Did blood work and pancreas numbers are high. Had Ct scan and they didn’t see anything. Had recheck two weeks later and number was a bit better but still high. So now I go see gastrologist next week. I’ve been second-guessing that decision, but I am not sure how to handle the non-digested foods, although I’m feeling better and other ways, and I can feel my gut healing.
I’ve worked so hard to get to this point, and heal my gut up, but I just can’t seem to figure out the undigested food in my bowel movements movements.
Would you have a suggestion for undigested food? Thank you so much for this great info in the video. 😊
Try-out bloodgroup doet. If you know what bloodgroup you are, you can search at Google what food you beter don't eat.
Leaky gut.
I'm confused by what you mean by undigested food? If it's not meat or fat, most of that stuff is loaded with fiber that is not digestible, or it needs cooking and lots of chewing to even get close to digestible.
Watch some carnivore doctor channels. They have had interviews with colostomy bag patients who went carnivore simply because undigested non carnivore foods were screwing up their bags. Which is also what happens in the colon.
@@tradermunky1998 my bowel movements have pieces and up until months ago. That doesn’t seem normal or okay to me, but I’ve never experienced that and I’m 51. I eat lots of meats. My husband is a hunter so we eat tons of venison. We, also, buy other meats to change it up. I eat some lettuce and veggies and I eat a decent amount of fruit. Thank you for your response. 😊
@@wendytreft4152 Ah. It might just be you have become more efficient at processing and eliminating what you eat. If it's not meat/fat/water it technically rots which turns it brown and more mushy and less distinguishable in the stool. Less time in the intestines means less time to rot.
Thank you for this information! 5 times I have meant to have surgery and it has been cancelled for whatever reason, chest infection, they cancelled it for additional mri scans or overbooked people. So I reached out to a friend and said I am convinced that the universe is trying to tell me something…. Like not have it done. Should have been done this coming Friday. My friend advised me to watch your videos. I was never given other advice like change your diet, it was you have multiple gallstones so we will remove your gallbladder. So thankful to have been told to watch these!
I am in a very similar situation! I have 5 gallstones and symptoms after 2 rounds of antibiotics (gas, major bloating, dyspepsia, nausea heaerburn), i saw 2 doctors who said I should remove the gallbladder but I just could not accept the fact that we have "disposable" organs. So what advice will you follow now? I am watching videos and wondering about my next steps. Take bile salts supplements? I dont think they disolve the stones though, do they?
@@asmaa1026 I have gone through various of these videos, there are some on how to break the gallstones down, how to prevent. Now I have this information I would really like to try the advice given here before just removing my gallbladder only to run a risk of all the other issues that can arise. The medical people should be giving all advice not just the simple removal
Thank you very much, Dr. Berg, for hearing the cries & answering prayers.
I've always believed in you since I was younger & know that you will make a video for those who have had their gallbladder removed one day. It was one of the biggest things that I have 👁 lately.
Air hugs 🫂 and air high-five 🤗
Bless 🙌 your beautiful soul. 🙏🙏🙏💜 You are truly amazing 👏 🎉
This video would have been great for me to see 4 years ago!😞
LOVE LOVE LOVE the overlay you did with the liver!!! That is fantastic!🤩
Dear Doc. Do you remember when you were a student doctor and ate that bun and meat loaf late at night video? Similar here. Since then, I took your info on board, changed my diet and eating habits radically and yesterday, after receiving a call from our health service, cancelled my operation to remove my gallbladder because of the good advise you gave. I Feel good with no similar occurrence for over 2 years and many thanks for your info. As a by-product, a more needy somebody else, can move up the queue to have their particular operation.
I have 1 gallstone and choledocal cyst issues . Today I cancelled my gallstone surgery because of this video!!😂
I had my gallbladder removed and told that it was “sickly”, no stones. Constipation has been my life, even before the removal. I was also diagnosed in 1982 with Type 2 diabetes, took meds until the end of 2022( I control with herbs, like Berberine, and herbal teas). A1C now is 6.5. Considered taking bile salts, but haven’t. I’ll ask my PCP, who practices alternative medicine. Thank you Dr. Berg! Your videos are always helpful! ❣️
Raising my level of stomach acid (apple cider vinegar/ betaine HCL) helped me enormously with constipation.
At 25 years old,I kept on having stomach pains,the doctor sent me to a specialist…He told it was my goal bladder and to remove it a it was not needed….
Thank you for this video…nearing 60 and my health has gone from bad to worse….and I have high cholesterol….
High cholesterol is not always a problem. It's another big lie!
Are U going to try the bile salts?
Look up ACV, Apple Cider Vinegar. diluted in water.
2 tbsp in a regular water bottle, all day long.
Absolutely NO sodas, NO icecream, NO junkfood.
Wish I would’ve known this information two years ago prior to having my gallbladder removed. Thank you for the info, Dr. Berg!
I have cut all pop (soda), junk food, bread, beef of any kind, dairy and other things. I now live on black beans, chicken, turkey, romaine lettuce and have recently added bean sprouts, cole slaw (as an add in without sauce) and sauerkraut just to have variety. All gallbladder and pancreas friendly.
Wow! I’m always learning more and more from you than I ever have from all my doctors throughout my life. I have had stomach issues since I can remember. It started more so when I fell off my back deck steps on a rainy slippery Sunday morning. I hit the 8th step, busted 3 ribs, and collapsed a lung. In shock even drove myself to hospital. Returned back to work, 2 1/2 months later, but was still having pain on my right side. Everyone kept telling me it’s just your ribs are still healing, but the pain kept getting worse. Three hospitals later, only one suspected it was my gallbladder. They referred me to see this gallbladder specialist, with all these appointments, it seems like it was forever of getting any help for this. Omg eight months later, the doctor says to me, I’ll never forget this, oh I see you’re still holding your side? I’m thinking, REALLY?? Did he just say that? I’ve been in agonizing pain working through work with this, and he says I see you’re still holding your side? He says because your gallbladder is only working 3%, and it has to come out.. I still remember that pain.
This is why I do things naturally, to what’s put on this Earth to heal our bodies.
I just wish you were around back then for me .. IBS/ulcerative colitis. I can’t have gluten or dairy. I have huge gut problems to the point of not wanting to eat. So it sounds like I need to start with Bile salts then first? If that doesn’t work then, TUDCA. THANK YOU very much, for helping, and educating us on getting to the root cause, to live our lives pain free. 🥰👍
Hope it helps. Wishing you the best ❣️
Almost 30 years ago,I had my gb removed. However, the doctor accidentally cut the main bile duct, causing bile to leak into the abdomen. During a reoperation, part of my intestine was stitched up to the liver. They also mentioned there was inflammation in the gb and I didn’t need it.
I’m incredible grateful to have survived. However, I still experience gallbladder pain, which now manifests in my liver.
Thank you for always useful knowledge😊
I truly believe that my gallbladder didn't need to be removed. I didn't know anything about it at the time. Now I do and I regret it.
your are not alone!
I'm so happy i found your channel. I was supposed to have my gallbladder removed July 2023 and I decided to cancel. I started going to the chiropractor and taking your gallbladder function and tudca. I haven't had gallbladder pain since. My gallbladder was functioning at 17% and now no issues. My cholesterol was creeping up and I'm sure it was because of my gallbladder problems. I'm curious to see what it'll be at my next physical.
It makes sense physicians consider the gall bladder something you can live without, since they don't study nutrition and only " specialists" study digestion.
Crazy all of a sudden I started getting really bad pain around 8 months pregnant (December 2023). I also had gestational diabetes and before that I was put on prednisone for asthma. So glad I found this video because I just had my first baby in January and had to have an emergency c-section. I was crying and dreading another surgery only 3 months after my c-section. I actually came across a girl on TikTok and she was talking about your videos. Thank you for sharing and educating us and giving us alternatives because I was desperately looking for alternatives.
Gallbladder was removed after cancer diagnosis/treatments, when my oncologist recommended it, as it showed a few gallstones and sludge. No worries, since I was "put through the mill", on a super intense chemotherapy regimen, to eradicate the destructive tumor in my head (hard palate). That was in 2009, and ive never noticed a difference in my health, nor digestion. At the current age of 60, I still remain healthy and active, and have never been on any maintenance medications, other than vitamin supplements that support natural aging.
I love you, doctor Berg.
You're a lifesaver. I haven't had surgery yet, but have been in pain for 8 years...
Which was denied for 8 years as well, untill gallbladder got inflamed.
Surgeon called my symptoms (pain from hell) a-typical though, so I didn't dare undergo surgery...
I'll try and follow up on your advise...
Thanks again.
You are a blessing from above. I lost my gall bladder years ago and I wish I had known then what I know now by listening to these healthy revelations. I suffer alot. I follow your guidelines.
very good info here on alternative to surgery and bile salts. What's also good is the Hulda Clark Liver flush which helps flush out the stones
I was told i needed my gallbladder removed 15yrs ago due to overly large stones. Turned out i didn't have gall stones at all. My gallbladder was 100% calcified. Not the average situation/it had to come out, but my whole body has been a nightmare since. Including an enlarged liver and a ball of interior scar tissue the size of a large orange.
I can not eat 90% of food anymore. And oddly enough, all of the healthy foods make me the sickest.
I'm definitely going to try some of your recommendations.
Thank you for another fantastic video!!
Hope it works for you x
Thank you for helping us. I hope God gives you peace of mind
Very glad to be of help.
I’ve found out lots of things about gallbladder since I’ve had it removed which I’d wished I’d known prior to that. The pain of gall stones was too immense and I collapsed with it. After being in hospital for 5days, I agreed to have it removed. I still get intermittent pain in the region of the gall bladder. Lots of other things going on also. So this video was really helpful.thanks.
I had A lot of gall bladder attacks. The Pain was excruciating!! They wanted to do surgury on me and remove my Gallbladder.I said, No!! I was Always a Praying woman. 🙏. I Went to a Prayer meeting with other woman.I said, God is going to Heal me of this problem . Pain finally left!! Then later in life , I went to a chiropractor for back pain and in the XRay the Dr. Said, you have 3 Crystallized places showing up in this xRay.I believe I had gallstones. But, God!! Crystallized them!! My Great High Physician!! Came @ Healed Me !!! 😅!! Faith is The Currency to God!!
Uuukk
I consulted a surgeon at KP who recommended removing my gallbladder due to moderate sludge. I was surprised to learn she wasn’t aware of TUDCA, which I had been taking for the past two weeks. I’m convinced TUDCA has kept me pain-free for the last four days and reduced the chance of recurrence. Surgeons are trained to recommend surgery, and from a statistical standpoint, it often has a clearer outcome compared to trying other treatments. Dr. Bergs information is giving my bladder a chance 😂
Amazing video with helpful advice, Dr Berg. Great explanation. Thank you 👍🏻💖
You're most welcome! Glad you like it!
I have had my gallbladder removed 12 years ago and have never had any problems- maybe I had an amazing surgeon. When I had it in, the cholecystitis attacks felt like a heart attack- In my personal opinion, having not had problems- I am glad I took mine out. And my poop is fine. I do also drink apple cider vinegar every day but mainly because I love the taste over juice.
I’m glad too for you ! I feel so much better since I had mines removed!!
Dr. Berg, the liver overlay diagram at 7:36 was a very good illustration.
I love the fact that because I've heard you now for years I know what your going to say. Here's to my health and everyone else I encounter who knows Im going to analyze them. Lolo Love you Dr Berg. I love being one of you're Keto couches God Bless to you and Karen.🌹🌹🌹❤
God bless Dr. Eric!!
Thank you for this helpful video. A year after gallbladder surgery I am doing well. Hospital gave me a strict diet to also keep my pancreas happy. I will try more of the naturally bitter foods. I can tolerate eating spring salad and need to lightly steam vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli. I recommend to keep a running notebook. Its a lot of information to keep track of.
Very good input! Great to hear from you. Here is another resource that might be of help. Take a look! 👉 www.drberg.com/blog/what-you-must-know-if-you-dont-have-a-gallbladder?srsltid=AfmBOoptP3MhtC8HIGNRpb9cXg1NKuuaqslKdMYbpMDkNdEzi2Wgo2-Y
God put it there for a reason.try to keep it 🙏
Amen

There’s nothing that can replace the god given built in equipment! Keep everything in good working order as long as possible.
So what's the best thing for the pancreas sinse it's working harder?
I mean I believe that but I’ve done all he mentioned and the gallbladder attacks are excruciating 😢
I had my gallbladder removed maybe... 10 years ago? I had to be rushed to the ER about 5 times for gallbladder attacks (stones)... so painful, one doctor lady told me the pain is worse than giving childbirth. I had a laparoscopic surgery and I've had no side effects. I can eat anything. OK, maybe I digest food a little bit slower, since I now rely on the constant drip, rather that purging all of it from the gallbladder at once. But honestly, I couldn't be happier. I hear that some may suffer from prolonged pain, but I'm all good. You might want to eat a just a little bit smaller portions at a time, but that's beneficial for everyone. I don't really watch for anything different than before. I guess I got lucky with a good doctor and a good surgery. If you're dealing with the option now, I would of course opt for the stone breakup if it can be successful, however. Surgery should always be the last option.
In Florida doctors are over doing the gall bladder removal
Doctors are overdoing gallbladder removals everywhere 😆 not just in Florida.
Here in Germany too ☹️
Dr Berg thank you so much your content has improved my life and health over the years, even things I’ve brought up to my PCP and didn’t get much help with, especially related to overall gut health.
I'm so glad to hear that!
It's quite scary how your vids come along when certain subjects are on my mind. I'm having gallbladder issues as we speak. I've got to get through this and look at the option of laser therapy if stones are the issue
I’ve had rather large gallstones for 3 years. My surgeon told me that I may live the rest of my life those stones and may never have an issue. He recommends gallbladder remover ONLY if they become painful or inflamed. Most surgeons would recommend removal. I am lucky but also there is a backlog for surgeries.
8 years ago I had a severe gallbladder attack that was beyond painful and I was rushed to the ER. I didn't know what was wrong with me? I only knew that the pain from 1-10 was a 12! The Doctor in the ER said that I was having a gallbladder attack and that I needed to have the stuck stones that was causing the severe pain removed. He said that my gallbladder needed to be removed and to make an appt. with a specialist, So I did, but the specialist I was recommended to would not answer a few simple questions that I had. That threw up red flags to me! The first simple question I asked him was; What would happen if I decide to keep my gallbladder and eat a more healthier diet? The second question was; What type of diet or complications to expect if I decide to have my gallbladder removed? The third question I asked the Dr. was; Wouldn't my liver have to work overtime due to the missing gallbladder that helps digest our fats?! I was very polite when asking these 3 simple questions to him that he refused to answer and said back to me with a loud boastful voice and a snare on his face; It's Your Life Do What You What With It! I said politely back to him; You know your right! My discernment that the Good Lord gave to me answered all my questions for me and He said to run!!! I'm So grateful that I listened. I am so very Thankful that I still have my gallbladder. The specialist is use to people being sheep to the slaughter and just doing what they tell them to do without batting an eye because it's Big money for them. I believe most Doctors today despise critical thinkers that like to do their research first. Now when I feel my gallbladder acting when I eat something it doesn't like, which is very few, I drink lots of organic apple juice, with fresh squeezed organic lemons and Braggs vinegar, I will sometimes down two teaspoons of Epsom salt when I feel like a bad one coming on and also rub castor oil over the lower half of my stomach area, I then place a piece of plastic wrap over the area I rubbed the castor oil because castor oil is very sticky before placing a warm water bottle over the area while laying down resting for 20 minutes or so to let the castor oil do it's magic. I also do a parasite and gallbladder flush every year or so. I'm so Thankful I still have my gallbladder. Thank You Dr. Berg for all your valuable information and being such a Blessing to all of us! God Bless!
Oh wow that is so inspiring! So did you get rid of your gallstones? How? I am asking cause I have 5 stones and my doctors want me to remove my gallbladder and just like you, i am not convinced it is the only way
@seekerofthetruth omg! That's an inspiring testimony! I am having some pain in the rib area and back. I am having ultra sounds next week. So you took the things listed above for a bad attack- I am going to get these items tomorrow. Do you take the Tudka at all?
How do you do the flushes?
What a lifesaver, first night in over year while waiting for surgery that I actually got to sleep with little or no acid reflux.
I never had any gallstones, but I had gall bladder attach. 15 years ago they performed a gall bladder function test. My gall baldder was only working at 4%, so it was going to be removed. When they were removing it they had to "scrape it off the other organs to remove it". I've never heard about bile salts. Now I have some ideas on what I need to pay attention to. Thank you for the video.
What were your symptoms before surgery?
Im getting my gallbladder out next week and i cant wait! Ive been taking bile salts for years. i do liver gallbladder cleanses, ACV you name it and i still have issues. A very large gallstone and severe wall thickening. Nothing ive done over the years has worked.
Hi, how’s your surgery?
@@curatedbyrav good. took about 4 weeks for full recovery. I feel great! All my symptoms are gone. I'm happy I did the surgery. I do take Ox bile to help fat digestion.
Easy to remove stones, done over the weekend ,Olive oil ,grapefruit juice ,magnesium sulfate,and milk thistle extract ,I bought a book that describes the protocol when a doctor was about to book me for surgery .Andreas Mortiz's protocol
Even a 4 cm stone and sludge?
@@katylwi I think that after reading the book if you feel that it may be too much then part of the protocol is to consume for a period of time before some apples juice or fruit that help to soften the blow ,malic acid as well can be used
@@jean-paulsignoret5467
ACV = Apple Cider Vinegar DILUTED in water
2 tbsp in a water bottle, sip all day long, routinely
Also NO sodas, NO icecream, NO junkfood
What is the best way to remove I counted like 7-8 stones and I’m in pain and I want to get them out asap and not have a surgery my side hurts and right side of back
@jean-paulsignoret5467 I need the steps or name of book please and where to get?
I wish I would have seen this last year. I had emergency surgery at 27 to remove my gallbladder because my gallstones were stuck. I was told it was my only option. I developed a hernia which I had surgery on two weeks ago. Luckily I haven’t noticed any other side effects so far. Thank you for your educational videos!
Had removal six years ago. Excellent decision. Piece-o-cake !! Minimal recovery.
Very happy outcome.
Recommended highly......... 😊😊😊😊
I wish I had known this before. Dr, please make a video on how to live and what to consume once the gall bladder hAs been removed
