Hi @mj Brownlee , yeah, most people who have lost their gallbladder need to use ox bile indefinitely. This video shows you how to use it the right way to improve a lot of those issues: ruclips.net/video/6EhZiBE2SBc/видео.html let us know how it goes.
Maybe all the doctors that will remove gallbladders should have theirs removed while in medical school. Then, they might be able to help the rest of us while they are figuring out how to live without theirs.
@@wendycordes2582 Ummmm.... just treat it like you would any other substance to which you are allergic: Don't use it! There are other healthy fats you can use.
I had my out 2 weeks after the birth of my first child. The surgery was open as it was 1972, no other kind of surgery available then. It was at the holidays when I had a bad attack, went to ER and was told my gallbladder was severely inflamed and could rupture. Long long story, the Dr that did the surgery was barely out of training, the two senior surgeons were at home enjoying the holidays. The Dr made several errors in my surgery, the most deadly was he severely damaged my bile ducts, panicked I guess and just closed as usual and basically I almost died, I have suffered DAILY because not only my gallbladder is gone but the Bile Duct Injuries that happened were so severe that even after highly skilled surgeons repaired the ducts, nothing was ever the same. I would say if you don't want to spend your days with indigestion , bloating and chronic bowel problems, do what you can to heal the one you have. My niece just had hers removed here in March of 2024, it was in danger of rupturing so it was a case of she had to. In hospital one full day prior to the removal and went home the next day in late afternoon. She was NOT apprised of what she is now going to go through.....Some people do find, others, MANY others do not do fine and are left with chronic digestion problems, IBS and lots of bloating. She was not told much of anything and I am going to have to keep fining articles and information and share them to her. Keep your gallbladder if you can, it DOES have an important function in the body.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU! After having my gallbladder removed 31 YEARS AGO and having chronic diarrhea for over 2 decades and acid reflux constantly this makes total sense!!! Why has no one else ever said this? This makes me SO MAD & sad at the same time...Had mine removed at 22 yo, only to find out, much later, that this is a Red Flag for Hormones issues, cue PCOS & Infertility - again no Doctor made a connection to hormones, suggested Ox Bile, gallbladder connection or explained why my nails are thin & peeling and my left Macula detached in 2020 and I now have a rubber band around it and my retinas torn (Vitamin Deficiency from not being able to absorb)....Good Greif! People we have to learn for ourselves!!!!!!
@Delanne Reichard, I think "We have to learn for ourselves" is now my new favorite phrase. I'm totally going to steal that. :) I have a new video coming out on Tuesday that digs deeper into loose stool issues after gallbladder removal so be sure you're subscribed here so you don't miss that one: ruclips.net/channel/UCEN08D5qYz8EHvwixHckYbg But your best bet could be to go through our totally free digestion course because that will walk you through figuring out which aspects of digestion are not working correctly and what steps will help you the most. That will also help you understand some of the imbalances that are often seen with issues like infertility and PCOS. You can find that free course here: kickitnaturally.com/course Come back and let us know how it goes.
@@KickItNaturally I have the opposite trouble, large stools, not rock hard, just large and often takes a bucket of water to rid it from the toilet bowl...sorry about the excess of information, but that's how it's been for me. I eat healthily, have lost 42Lbs in 4 years, but still gigantic poop.
@@plushypuppy2024I hope he addresses that. I've had similar problem, but it's more like my system is erratic. I never know what to expect, and it's very disconcerting to have to worry about using the RR when out and about.
@onlythetruth2063 could just be an age thing. Tell her to think about probiotics and digestive enzymes. She should talk to her doctor. I stopped digestive enzymes because I gained about 25 pounds 😞
@@onlythetruth2063 When I got my gallbladder out 18 years ago I got told by a doctor if I put on the weight again I will find it really hard to lose it after the gallbladder is removed.
Thank you for this information. 21 years without a gallbladder, and I didn't know to treat or minimize many of the side effects you've described here. We've been told the gallbladder isn't necessary, didn't make sense. Now I have hope! Very grateful!
I had mine removed 21 or 22 years ago. On July 3rd. They kept me overnight & I went home on the 4th of July. I also was told decades ago that I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Of course, who knows, maybe my bad gallbladder was causing those symptoms.
I had to have my gallbladder out when I was 19, I had stones like gravel inside my gallbladder. I now suffer from IBS-D as soon as food hits my stomach.I have horrible urgency and stomach pain.
Hi! I had my gallbladder removed 26 years ago and never really had problems until recently. I watched another guy on RUclips that really helped me. I have had a dull ache under my right rib cage for a little over a year. I learned about taking bile salts from my chiropractor several years ago. The bile salts didn't seem to be helping with my right side ache. I started taking Tudca on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and again in the afternoon on an empty stomach. The dull ache went away the next day. I was honestly amazed. I am not one to believe people when they say that something worked that quickly, but it worked that quickly and I feel like it was a small miracle. I also take a digestive enzyme with most meals and that really helped me with bloating and feeling like a brick was sitting in my stomach after eating a meal. I really like your videos and the explanations about the acid and alkaline coming together and making a "sizzle". It was really easy to understand. Thank you!
Thx for info, haven't had problems till recently. Severe stomach cramping, sharp pain like with gallbladder. My Reiki master told me I need enzymes & probiotics. I just don't know which because there's so many types. I've heard of Tudco & will definitely CHK it out.
I had my gallbladder removed 3 years ago . I was never told any of this!!! I went to my GI doctor and asked about the diarrhea. She never mentioned the gallbladder connection!!! I also have frequent pain which my doctor dismissed as well !!! So happy to find this video !!! Now I understand my symptoms and know that I am not crazy !!! Looking forward to checking out your other informative videos!!!! Thank you for your help!!!
Quitting wheat was the only thing that stopped the diarrhea for me. Despite testing negative for celiac. Difficult to avoid wheat completely so symptoms were still off and on. Took digestive enzymes which helped. Eventually low energy, low stress tolerance and low mood led doc to check b vitamin levels. Also got a dna test as per another savvy doctor on my team. Finally got prescribed active form methylated b vitamins 12 and 9 which turned my life and health around significantly. I feel 16 again.
@@cornypinkuni9519 hello-- B12 will Not work without all of the other B's. B Complex is totally necessary. Why MD's & even surgeons prescribe 1 vitamin, when they are not Nutritionists is beyond me. Part of that A Type personality disorder perhaps....
Same here. Nowhere did anyone tell me I needed to supplement if there were issues. Not until I saw a gastro doc. He told me about ginger, probiotics, and Now Super Enzyme. I learned more about all the things in this vid later on from Berg.
I had ZERO SYMPTOMS and my gallbladder brought me to my knees one night. (Thought I was having a heart attack.) Had emergency surgery.... gallstone size of a golf ball. Gallbladder was gangrenous and 5X normal size!!! Doctor said I "should've been dead years ago!!" That was in 2010.....😊 taking NO MEDS OF ANY KIND. I've had NO problems since. My bowel movements are like clockwork. Functioning just fine. I'm blessed it didn't kill me. 71 and doing very well 😊 GOD IS GOOD ☝️☝️☝️ Texas Nana 🤠 Psalm 91
My husband had emergency surgery yesterday,the pain was so intense he didn't care if lived or died, that in how much pain he was. He had scan and by the time he left there they was ready to operate on him . He had a ruptured in his gallbladder.That was a scariest day of my life .
You have helped me more in 10 minutes than 4 GI specialists and 5 primary care providers have helped me in 4 years. Thank you so much for the info!!!! I even asked about gallbladder pain and they treated me like I didn't know what I was talking about.
No one told me anything about issues after gallbladder removal. Mine was an emergency, I couldn't avoid it once I went to the Dr. No one told me anything about aftercare. Thank you for this info.
I have had chronic diarrhea since I had my gallbladder removed. I have no regrets, though about having it removed. I had to be on antibiotics, either by a drip or by pills, because my gallbladder was constantly infected. The surgeon told me it was still infected when she removed it. The diarrhea is a nuisance, but when I asked friends who did have theirs removed, they didn't have that side affect, but I knew that's what was causing the diarrhea. I have learned to stay put for a few hours after meals, because I don't want to have an embarrassing situation where I soil my knickers. Thanks for the info.
I completely understand, after many surgeries. They end up squashing my gallbladder when I was five yrs old. Then several surgeries later, they used the bowel to reconstruct the ureters, then this last surgery six years ago had an urinostomy and cut out the Iliosical valve, since then I've had chronic diarrhea. I can't eat out unless we go straight back home. Yes, I carry a diaper bag everywhere. Hope this helps you, I'm looking forward to trying it.
Finally! I had appendicitis so I stopped refusing to have my gall bladder removed. My surgeon smiled big.(?) I didn’t want someday to have to have another surgery ( does anybody not need gall bladder surgery?) I have looked for bile salts with no luck. I have three kinds of pads, know all the restrooms in my frequent haunts. Everything you said made sense, so I don’t need to gloss over my symptoms with doctors. I had been unable to decide between IC, diverticulitis, colitis and Crohn’s disease. Otherwise my health issues are okay for a seventy-one year old on a statin, synthroid and aziothiaprine.
I had that aside effect also. The only thing that alleviated it was quitting wheat (despite not being celiac) and eating more rice and coconut oil. Then 20 years later further negative side effects led to more investigating and pointed to b12 deficiency. Despite being a meat eater who eats low carb and rarely if ever drinks alcohol. A savvy biochemist Naturopathic Doctor prescribed active form methylated b12 along with b9. Life changing for digestion, mood, energy and more. Digestive enzymes along with betaine assisted too. But the common genetic variant in the folate pathway such as mthfr and fut2, may be part of why some ppl do ok post surgery and others dont. There is a line of thinking that north american wheat being fortified with synthetic (fake) b vitamins interferes with the conversion process that 30-60% of people that possess these common gene variants. B vitamins are also linked to cholesterol levels and quality which is again tied in with gallbladder issues in the first place.
Thank God there are people like you sir my gallbladder was taken out in 2006 and my whole digestive issue has been awful.I don’t have good luck with doctors
I had my gallbladder removed when I was 19. I don’t remember having any issues after removal. I was just glad it was gone because of the awful pain attacks I’d have in college.
I had my gallbladder out a few years ago after suffering through a year of horrible gallstone attacks. I would have torn that thing out myself to get rid of the pain. I do have diarrhea more than I did before but it’s worth it for me. This information is great to know though! I wish my doctors had told me this.
I had my gallbladder removed and appendix back in 1973. In 2016 I was diagnosed with cancer if the colon and small intestine. They caught it early and got it all. They told me I have Crohn's and I truly believe it was caused by all of the diarrhea and bile free flowing through my intestines.
I had my gallbladder removed over 20 yrs ago and still to this day not one doctor has told me or figured out that my long list of medical problems could all be because I had my gallbladder removed and never told that I needed to take steps to assure that my body continued to work correctly. So thank you for putting this information out there for people like me.
I'm now 69. My gallbladder was taken out 25 years ago. I was never told to take a supplement. My gallbladder had become infected. I had someone rush me to the emergency room.
Doctors don't ever tell patients that supplements will help because their view is that the gallbladder doesn't do anything anyway so we might as well yank it out.
So amazed how physicians just gloss over it. Not a big deal to remove gallbladder. I STILL have the internal pain after having it removed 3 weeks ago. So fascinating. THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION 👌🏼🙌🏼
Did they accidentally nick something they shouldn't have? You should talk to your doc!! When my GB was removed my doc stressed coming back if I was still in pain a week- 10 days post surgery.
I had severe Gerd. After testing me, doctor determined the flap between esophagus and tummy was ulcerated and not working and bleeding. I became very anemic. They decided to give me a tummy tuck. They also removed my gall bladder and routed my liver to drain into my stomach. I could hardly eat. Lost way too much weight. 15 years ago. I am 5'3", weight just under 100 lbs. Still have acid reflux and I feel it did more harm that good.
Almost immediately after my gallbladder removal i developed Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction. The pain from SOD attacks is off the chart. Bile backs up to my liver, my liver enzyme levels rocket and its always an ambulance to hospital and 24hrs of the worst pain imaginable. Most people with SOD develop it after gallbladder removal, not sure why? Opioids are a trigger for alot of us too.
Same here! I nearly died several times as my liver had totally packed up. I was told to say goodbye to my family. I'm in constant pain and fear it might happen again. I'm so sorry you're experiencing that awful pain as it's so horrible it can completely ruin one's life. I hope you can improve the symptoms after watching this video ❤
It’s good to listen to this I got my gallbladder take it out so far. I’ve been fine. It’s been about 15 years now. No problems hopefully it stay that way God willing.
I had my gallbladder removed when I was about 34 after putting up with insane pain for nearly a year. Then I decided to allow the specialist to remove it. I'm now 75! Nobody ever explained to me the significance of having the gallbladder removed and so all of this news is a real revelation to me. I would like to thank you for making this information available and, since I love coconut, I will try to follow each meal with the oil regime.
Today is my lucky day. I have issues from no gallbladder. I live in rural Maine. The Medical sidewalk ends some 70 miles from my home. My gall bladder was elective surgery based on advice that a full hysterectomy would cause issues with my gall bladder. It cCame out in 1982 leaving a 13 inch scar. (Old surgeon. Old methods. Four bridges.) I've always eaten smartly, but beginning a couple of years ago, I began a series of the Hersheys. My doctor treated me for parasites with pills that had a bigger downside than a case of parasites could ever cause. He's retired now, replaced by a condescending new by with control issues. I will be 81 in a few months. This pill pusher could care less. It's frustrating to be living in the backwater of medical science. You have made my day and my life into the future. Thanks a bunch from the Foothills of Western Maine.
I had my gallbladder removed 2019 - the first 3 months were fine and then digestive issues began - then health issues set in because my food would go right through me as soon as I ate - I began to do my own research - now I take digestive enzymes with pre and probiotics - I am gluten free, dairy free, eat low carb, low fat, no red meat - eat good fiber and have straightened out so many issues - I take other supplements as well - eat small amounts of food and eat something about every 2 hrs - I am 79 years young
Your proplem was the food you were taking first few weeks after the surgery . I think you didn't take care of it durring that period that why you start to have a lot of digestive problems afterwards
@@djameliedz8442 no it wasn’t - I was on a soft diet, very basic food, almost bland tasting - I was 74 yrs old and it is something that often happens to the elderly when they have this surgery
@@KickItNaturally What if you have had your gall bladder removed and have had gastric bypass surgery . ( Roux en Y) I ordered Dr.Clark’s Betaine HCL & Dr.Clark’s Digestive Enzymes , for GERD. Please reply .
I finally broke down and have made an appointment with a gut doctor. It's been years since I've had things checked out and in speaking to her the first time, she was the first person I've ever had tell my how important the gall bladder is. I had it out back in the mid nineties and in the first few years afterwards had 3 surgeries to remove scar tissue from the bile duct. Yet, I had no crystals in the bile. Next time they said I will probably need a stent and I feel that time may be soon. You've given me ideas for questions to ask her when we next meet after testing is done.
Brilliant information. Pathetic that we aren’t told the things you covered by the surgeon or PCP! I had my gallbladder removed in 2015. It was full of slug and stones. I was fine then BOOM, the worst pain I’d ever experienced. I’ve given birth to two children and been shot twice in combat, those were picnics with Unicorns compared to that pain. It’s 2023 and I still can’t eat without a bathroom nearby. The doctors have tried several different things with me but my body rejects everything! I drink some water, off to the loo. Brush my teeth, on the loo I go. It’s insane. My blood work says I’m perfectly healthy. I still do my coconut oil each morning in my coffee, I’d hate to see what happens if I stopped that!!!
I have found that adding some lemon to water works better than just water. Most water, unless bottled and labeled pH balanced, most water is acidic. Lemon, oddly enough, helps to increase alkaline in water when they are mixed to a better pH level. Also, over the years, foods have had to shelved. One is dairy. I have found a great plant based cheese which I eat sometimes. (I miss cheese, and willing to compromise if the product is ‘close enough’ for me) Meat is acidic. I can occasionally eat red meat, but its easier if ground up and low fat. Pat dry of excess grease or oil. Eat with salad, not bread. Plant fats like avocado, olives, nuts (well chewed and limited amount), also agree with me. One last thing, try gluten free bread, and other gluten free products, if you want that sort of food. It is easier on digestion. I do eat rice, organic if i can find it. Best of luck on your journey. ❤
That's funny I also had mine removed in 2015 as well. And what's crazy is I had two surgeries before that like 6 months before that, and one of them was a major surgery. And the pain I got from that gallbladder surgery my entire body hurt even my legs. I couldn't even walk I've never had that much pain. And it was just for my gallbladder being removed. And they were like oh it's no big deal. No I couldn't do anything for a few days it was terrible. Like I had to have help going to the restroom like being carried etc. And I had also been in like a really bad car accident where someone hit me head on, on a freeway. This was worse than that too! Well minus the ribs all being shattered. but that's only because breathing with rib shattered is terrible. But the rest of it was still not as bad as my gallbladder removed.
Yes I said to my doc I had the worst pain since childbirth! I was doubled over and could barely stand. He said it was gastroenteritis and gave me omeprazole 🙄 A few months later I had emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder which had burst and pus and infection was through my system. I was on intravenous antibiotics for nearly 3 weeks and also had to have a stent put in my bile duct to redirect the bile. I honestly thought I was dying, I was so ill.
@@angelaleishman1570 And then they act like getting your gallbladder removed is no big deal! And you're just fine having it removed it's not a big necessary body part lol
I had problems from my teen years. An endo scope showed chronic gastritis. A referral to a surgeon with him telling me the gallbladder would become gangrene. I had two sons 11 and 8 years old and I didn't want to leave them without a mama. My problems went from bad to worse. I was working with a group of GI doctors of which one of them was doing a study of Native Americans and gallbladder disease. He said most of his patients with GB disease were of Native American heritage. So do I on my dad's side.
Thank you so much! I had my gall bladder removed 30 years ago and the surgeon never once, nor any other doctor in the last 30 yrs has mentioned the need to supplement with Bile. I’ve had some issues ever since that surgery and the lack of bile may well be the issue.
Yes, we hear comments like this almost daily.

I had mine removed 22 years ago and no one ever told me that. I had some issues over the years but nothing terrible and never knew that it could be related to this. Also, thinking about this matter I am wondering if after all this time is it necessary for me to have the Oxi-bile and how often? What difference would make? Thank you very much for the excellent explanation of this topic.
The excruciating pain in the right shoulder is the biggest issue after gallbladder removal. No one mentions this.Apparently its associated with a nerve from one site to the other. This pain is one of the worst.Infact its as bad as gallbladder pain.
I get severe muscle pain in my right shoulder. I was injured in 6 accidents but 2 years ago I went septic and had emergency surgery to remove sludge and then my gall bladder.
I just had my gallbladder removed this past Sunday, had stones and highly inflamed gallbladder. I’ve had same issues with my right shoulder pain that is excruciating (I was in NC for thanksgiving where surgery was performed, I live in Florida) my doctor here has given me a muscle relaxer, NP isn’t up with the research about what the procedure is about. I’m confused with all the stuff what to do or not do? I have low thyroid, was on diabetic medication (off now do to my ketogenic lifestyle) can you recommend the ox bile , each one has different ingredients, I like to eat natural
I was subjected to regular enemas by my mother because I didn’t have regular bowel movements & never did until I had my gall bladder removed! Now I’m regular as a clock! It was found to be only 13% effective, which is not at all. I’m so grateful this was discovered by my doctor & I had a successful non invasive surgery! It changed my life! Zero side effects.
I had gallbladder removed 60 years ago. Lot of problems with digestion and diarrhea. And have some horrid stories of accidents. First thing I do on a new store is locate the restrooms. No depends can handle accidents. I was late 6 minutes for doctor and asked why I was late, I had to use bathroom. I had to reschedule. Maybe after watching this I can live a more normal normal life. THANK YOU. The gallbladder was ready to burst. Age 24. Weighed 98 pounds. Familia type Gall bladder. One cousin was 17. I use probiotics and the ox bile and green coconut water. I haven't watched other videos. I hope one addresses how our bodies react to anti biotic because I experience terrible diarrhea for 6 weeks or more when I take any antibiotic. Also I have type 2 diabetes and have problem with being dehydrated no matter how much water I drink. So I am hoping this new new infirmation will help because I Also have have kidney stones. Long time to wait to get information and explanation of the diarrhea problem. Our family calls it the dumping syndrome. I need to share this. Also does being extremely upset cause an increase in bile production. 60 years of guestions😊.

Had mine removed around 13 year ago. Not had too much trouble since and no pain which was the worst ever leading up to removal. Bowles movements have been fine apart from around every few months I get diarrhoea for around a day or two. Like I’m emptying out. Then I got normal again for a few months. It’s not really bothered me too much and doesn’t happen too often so it’s not changed my life or anything. This was great info thank you. I like everyone else was ever told any of this. I always wondered why they said we didn’t need it yet we all have one? Why would it be there if we didn’t need it? 🤷♂️
Glad it was helpful @Jane Cox, here is another video that is very popular with viewers who have lost their gallbladder: ruclips.net/video/6EhZiBE2SBc/видео.html
I'm one of those people. 13 years without my gall baldder and my dad told me about these videos he found. I thought it was just my colitis flaring up, but it was just because the doctors don't tell you there is anything wrong with not having a gall bladder. 😢 Now I have so much research to do to find these supplements and fix my diet in the right way 😵💫
Thank you for the info I've had my gallbladder removed and still have chronic diarrhea and yellow stool that burns coming out you've so far been more help than my so called doctor
My gallbladder was badly infected and my surgeon removed it 2 years ago. I only had one stone. It was the size of a golfball. I was in agony the night I went to the ER with upper right quadrant pain. I gave birth to two babies naturally, no pain meds or epidural. I can handle pain. That night I begged the doctor to knock me out. I got out of the hospital two days later and recovered over about two weeks. Have had no problems or pain since! Quite an experience though!
I had a Whipple procedure for a pancreatic tumor in 1993. The common bile duct, gallbladder, duodenum, half the stomach, half the pancreas, and a few feet of intestines were removed. I went from 106 pounds to 75 pounds. It’s almost impossible for me to gain weight and I avoid all meat and fried foods. My current G.I. doctor put me on a probiotic, FiberCon, and Colestipol daily. There’s an improvement but things have never been the same since that surgery and subsequent two revisions. My surgeon had to create a new pancreatic duct during the third surgery due to chronic pancreatitis. I also take prescription digestive enzymes. I cannot drink supplements such as Ensure because of the oil in these products. I must eat small meals to avoid feeling sick. Even being careful is not always successful. It’s a chronic condition that rules my life. I know where every restroom is within a 20 mile radius. My doctors have run out of suggestions to improve my condition. I wonder if bile salts would help and I’ll mention it to my G.I. doctor for his opinion. It’s exhausting!
I had my gallbladder out at 16yrs old now 76 yrs .the pain when I had attacks I felt like I was dying . I was told to cut out all fatty foods then when I let hospital the Dr told me I could try a small roast potato for Christmas lunch I was fine so I did not stick to no fatty thinbs
I developed appendicitis in 1980. It was common back then to remove the gall bladder any time surgery was indicated for anything else for just any old reason. Aholes. I've had IBS and other issues. Fried food, except in tiny amounts, has been a nono for decades (sigh). Wish I'd known this stuff sooner so thank you.
I had my gallbladder out 30 years ago this week, it was taken out immediately after having a c-section. I was 19 and had been having attacks for over a year. I've never been the same since. They found stones in my bile duct at the time which complicated my surgery and recovery time. Even though I've lived with digestive issues for 30 years since gallbladder removal, I'm so tired of it and want to feel normal after eating meals.
30 yrs next August for me, I was 17 and 2 weeks post partum. Same issue with stones plugging the duct, so had the "big cut" instead of laparoscopic surgery as well. Have had the most horrific heartburn or indigestion ever since and been living on antacids.. I feel your pain 😢 hopefully we both can figure out how to manage and make our lives better now!
How soon I can start the steps following my gallbladder removal. My surgeon said don’t interfere yet with the natural healing as the body will adjust the amount of bile dripping in the duodenum! He also said the bile duct will be naturally widened! How accurate also this is!!! Thank you in advance for your reply! Deeply appreciate it!
We're not allowed to give any advice that goes against what your doctor told you to do. But you can check the comments below to see if other people had their bile correct itself on it's own.
I had mine removed 35 years ago and had 465 gallstones. That was in the days when they went in and made big cut across your abdomen it was a tough. Nowadays I have trouble digesting raw veggies and salad and chronic ibs-d
Oh wow! I can't digest salad greens either! They always give me the runs. Ugh 🤦🏻♀️ I never knew any of this, but my gallbladder was a leaky, infected mess; only 7% functional in a HIDA scan.
My gallbladder was perforated and gangrenous, and I thought I was relatively healthy! Thank you for these tips, I’m in recovery now so it’s helpful to know what to expect.
Wow, I can't believe what I've just learned. My history is gallbladder removal 10 years ago, and Keto for the last 4 years. I've felt great on Keto until about a year ago when I started to get a dull sensation under my left rib cage. This has steadily got worse and I have attacks now after eating bacon or hamburger for instance. I'm afraid to eat anything right now.
I totally understand Susie. It might be worth taking some actions to see if you can get that pathway moving. The most effective combo we see clients do is to do a Beet Flow flush one day and then a coffee suppository the next day and do that combo once a week until it starts moving. Here is our video on how to do a beet flow flush: ruclips.net/video/9eVxqTMu14s/видео.html Hope that helps.
Oh. My. Goodness. I know this is from a year ago, but I have the same issue. The left sided pain after being ketonfor a few years. Went to the doctor a few days ago because of it, and now waiting for a CT scan.
I had mine removed about 30 years ago. I had no symptoms until a day or two before emergency surgery, my gall bladder had become gangrenous!! so key hole surgery was not an option. It was a 3 month recovery time, surgeon said I was very lucky that it hadn't burst. I've had no problem or pain since & and can eat anything. I was lucky to have a good doctor who came to my home & referred my for scans and urgent admission to hospital.
My Gastro surgeon assured me he would clear my ducts but then didn't do it because he said my lab results didn't show it was necessary. Once home, I passed a stone later that day - VERY painful. This thick bile issue turned me onto ox bile & Tudca but I never really used it right and foods that weren't bloating me before began to. I now take enzymes when I eat high fat foods and will definitely try the ox bile after eating. I also take ACV before eating and put small amounts of MCT oil in my coffee while still fasted. Hopefully once using the ox bile correctly the occasional bloating will stop. Thank you for a very clear presentation!
I had my gallbladder out 36 yrs ago due to a 1 inch in diameter gallstone. The attacks were terrible. I love food high in fat. I haven't had a problem since. They didn't give me any painkillers for the incision pain. I had to hire a baby nurse as my daughter was 1 yr old and I couldn't lift her for 3 wks. But haven't had problems since.
I didn’t know until sometime during the last 10 years that having my gallbladder out could cause issues. Never had a doctor mention it until I went to see my doctor, don’t remember what for but he mentioned my not having a gallbladder. I’ve had stomach problems for years. When I had my gallbladder out 35 years ago I thought they would get better. No. I still have stomach problems all the time. I’m 70 years old and I don’t think I care anymore. Take this, take that, buy this, buy that….I deal with fibromyalgia (28 years) and major depressive disorder and I’m usually too apathetic to care about much.

I have noticed after having my gallbladder out it is hard to move bowels and when I do it's hard and firm so I would say constipation is a big after symptom
I was diagnosed as a coeliac 6 years ago. One of the symptoms can be poor bile production. Hence, I developed gall stones and had to have my gall bladder removed. This happened just before my coeliac diagnosis! I have been taking ox bile, but the instructions were to take during a meal! I appreciate learning about the timing for this and understanding about the need for acidification first. Thank you.
Yes I've had my gallbladder removed 25 yrs ago and had never been told any of this information. I was also told this was fantom pain if I had any issues. My son is having what sounds like Gallbladder attacks and if he indeed has his removed I am definitely sending him the link to this video. thank you so much
thank you so muvh! i soft cried after hearing all this lifechanging info. I feel freed from these issues. Particularly my very depressing skin problems Ive had since gb removal. And having doctor after doctor telling me i have no internal issues. To the point where i eould starve myself partly due to subconsciously realizing i didnt get these skin or bloating issues if i didnt eat.
You are so welcome. thanks so much for sharing this. Getting the timing and dosage down right for some supplements can be very tricky for some folks. This video can be very helpful. ruclips.net/video/4iuYpaiFT3Y/видео.html Please let us know how it goes. It's pretty fun to find answers.
I found TC Hale while listening to him talk about his book on Lex&Terry. (2012). I found the oxen bile and started taking it at night. After about six months- the stomach or digestion pain subsided. I sypped eating meat, drinking milk, and added more fiber. It has made a difference from the daily pain I was having. By the way, TC I am an Orange Park Alumni also.
My son have emergency gallbladder removal surgery Last Summer. The surgeon said it was necrotic. he's been real sick ever since. he's dropped over half his body weight he was a big Boy 6 ft 6 and over 400 lbs he's now down to 250 and it's all because he can't eat. we've found a few things that he can tolerate briefly. He's been so very ill in the aftermath of the surgery. he is gaunt now. because of the change in size & loss of muscle he's walks with a cane. he has no muscle tone, his joints and ligaments are an issue, he literally will fall easily. Malnutrition. This info will help him alot!!

Im so glad i found you, ive had abdominal pain since i was 10 and have been to the ER more than 40 times in my life, after many many trips and the removal of my gallbladder, at the age of 26 i was finally diagnosed with crohn's disease. Im on my way to using oz bile to help "talked to my dr and he okd it" me not be so bloated and feel better, he thinks itll help with my fatigue and bowel movements as well

I had the same problem, went 20 years without getting a proper diagnosis for Crohn's. I'm fine now after having 18 inches of severely inflamed fistulized intestine removed, also gallbladder and complete hysterectomy (lots of damage there, too). I use protein powders mixed with water/ice to supplement a high protein diet with low fat and very low carbs. I like Orgain (pea protein mix) a LOT - it's one of the few things I can eat/drink without issues. Crohn's disease used to be a rare diagnosis, now very common. I was a medical transcriptionist who never heard of it in people's charts back in the 70s and 80s, then it exploded in the dictations. As MTs, we can see trends that other people/researchers aren't catching. One doctor in Florida thinks Crohns is from dairy cows which get a similar disease (somewhat like tuberculosis) and that the organism which causes the disease survives pasteurization. The dairy industry has kept this information from the public with strong lobbying efforts. Humans (who shouldn't be eating dairy at all, that's for baby cows, not humans) used to get their milk from 'ol Bessie out back, one animal that they could keep an eye on, whether she was ill or not. Now, cows are bred repeatedly until they can't get pregnant anymore and/or their milk production goes low enough, then are slaughtered usually age 3 or so, before the disease like tuberculosis would show up; then the mix of hundreds of cow's milk production is sent in tanker trucks to the processing plant where, again, pasteurization doesn't kill the organism that may be causing the Crohn's. Apparently some people are just more susceptible to it than others. I had it for 20+ years before I was diagnosed, and my daughter came down with it at age 17 herself. Intestinal diseases run in the family with many being ill from nonspecific IBS and ulcerating colitis issues. All of this is to tell you, take it from a 69 year old woman with lots of time figuring this all out, you need a very high protein diet that's easily assimilable. The protein powders really help augment that. They are also low residue which helps the BM issues as well. You might want to supplement with high doses of Vitamin C - it helps the healing process tremendously.
I have had my gallbladder out for over twenty years. I have never had the problems others talk about. I still can eat what I want and I still battle constipation. I am very grateful for that but not the constipation. Thanks for the video.

Yeah, if around 50% of people have trouble after removal, that means 50% of people must not have any trouble. Seems like you picked the right team to be on. :)
Had my gall bladder removed years ago. The post op & recovery were extremely painful & I was popping the pain killers because they should have given me a stronger dose. Now, I can basically eat anything I want.❤
I realised that post-op you can rid that pain with peppermint water as you have a build up of gas from the surgery...I too was given pain killers galore until an older nurse came on duty, rolled her eyes and gave me peppermint water, that kicked the problem and she was quite frustrated that pain killers get used instead.
Thank you, thank you I’ve been without a gallbladder since 1985 and still have problems in that area. Listening to you has been a blessing after all these yrs. Never been told by any of my physicians
So glad it was helpful. Our new video on how to adjust the timing and dose of ox bile without a gallbladder could also be helpful: ruclips.net/video/4iuYpaiFT3Y/видео.html
I was told it was no problem without the gallbladder, it was an emergency for me, but I do have problems, and I have gained a lot of weight and don’t eat hardly nothing because it doesn’t set good on my stomach or it go right through
I still don't regret losing mine..The pain is so bad, like labor pains..And I had the surgery before the laser, so I have a huge incision , which was even worse than anything thing I can think of ..After a couple of decades I got a attack, went to the hospital about 4 hours before my shift ..I was in so much pain, when they took x rays they told me it was my gull bladder, I told them it went away long ago..the nurse said, they ''never'' go away they were dormant ..I asked if they could give me a pain pill & I would go to the doctor later, the nurse was so kind, leaned over & told me..Honey you're not going anywhere , this is very serious. So the job I had just started 2 months before was kind enough to let me keep my job while I healed.. I was off for a few weeks..
I had severe cramps for 20 years due to gall stones. Having my gall bladder out was the best thing i ever did. I was warned beforehand to limit my intake of fatty foods/acidic drinks.
Mine was removed seven years, yesi have the diarrhea i also. Have gas all the time.i have tried almost everything, havent found it yet, i am type two diabetic which doesnt help some of the foods good for type two just irritates my diarrhea. I dont travel after meals and always take a change of clothes, my gall bladder was gangrenous when removed, i was doa bucame back. I can put up with the inconvenience in order to love. Good info.thanks
Can the ox bile supplement be delivered in an enteric coating? That would seem to solve the timing problem so that it could be taken just before a meal, make it through the stomach, and provide the bile where it's needed the most. Also, you may have just solved a problem I've lived with for 30 years. You can bet I'll let you know what works for me. Thank You.
I was told it was nothing to worry about. 2006 I was having pain in upper left abdomin after eating certain foods. Gallbladder was diseased with 3 different pathologies. Can't tolerate beans, burp all the time.
First thank you! I am also thankful for A I because it heard me say, "I am tired after 4yrs of no gallbladder ( which I didn't want to do but my doctor talked me into it) I have gained over 100lbs...before surgery I was size 8 now I'm size at least 18! Everything suggested my my dr exercise low fat diet (eat plant based foods except still eat fish w/scasles and fins) this weight won't move...I recently bought ox bile and Tudca saw you video ox bile vs yucca which gave me some understanding. I have major belly fat huge thighs and button arms this where the weight is going. Please help with suggestion. New subscriber.
HI @Katina LifeCoach it sounds like you're moving in the right direction. I use ox bile in one way or another with all my clients who have lost their gallbladder. But you may also need to take steps to make sure that biliary pathway is still flowing, even though there is no gallbladder to store it in. You still want that pathway flowing to ensure the body can detox the way it is supposed to or some of those toxins will get stored in fat cells. In our totally free digestion course, there is an entire page of videos for those who have lost their gallbladder and one of those videos talks about this aspect and steps you can take. I think you said you started that course, but if you haven't, register for free here and that will help a lot: kickitnaturally.com/course let us know how it goes.
Hi Dr. @@KickItNaturally how do they check if the biliary pathway is still flowing? Do they do some kind of ultrasound? I took my gallbladder out 5 years ago and have put on alot of weight since then and now diagnosed with fatty liver, and always have dull ache near the bile ducts, don't know if its also my liver, please advice thank you.
I still have my gall bladder but also have Sjögren’s autoimmune disease. This can cause bile to become thicker. I take Tudca, a bile salt. This works like magic.
I had to have mine removed 9-years ago, because it was only 7% functional and leaking everywhere. It is definitely an important organ. I've also had my appendix out after it burst during cancer surgery. I was a mess and didn't even know it! 🤦🏻♀️ I will say that life is much harder without that tiny, seemingly insignificant organ. Dumping syndrome is a real pain!
I didn't know what to call the sudden release but one day I was trying to explain to a lady and she had gastric bypass and have had some of the same issues. Dumping syndrome, who would have ever thought that something like this could be a thing.
@@sherb7256Is "dumping syndrome" where pretty much void everything in your digestive track until you can't? Something I've been calling a "colon blow" after a description of a "cleansing" product. I initially felt much better after the surgery and getting rid of the infection, but I've been feeling progressively worse and get a lot of pain under my left rib cage. I've lost a little weight, but gained waist fat. My appetite's been wonky, too. Sometimes I feel like I'll never get full. Sounds like I'm not the only one having adventures, though. ✌️😎
I’m 27 and had my gallbladder removed earlier in the year when I was 26 years old. Only issues I’ve had since then are diarrhea when eating too much at once and a 50/50 chance in high fat foods. Had another gallbladder attack/abdominal pain in June, got hospitalized in august because I got a severe fever from it, doctors thought it might be a liver infection, so I was put on antibiotics for 4-6 weeks and everything was fine, no attacks at all. Fast forward to late November or early December of this year, 2023, I had another 2-3 minor attacks. At this point I’m so confused and fed up with what’s been going on, but this video might’ve explained it! I might’ve had a stone in my bile duct because of it becoming to “sticky”. Hopefully it was small enough to pass on its own. This video definitely gave me more clarity on the issue!🙏🏻thank you so much😊
I had my gall bladder out after having 3 children and twins back in 1998. I believe there is a connection there, just the trauma alone from the pregnancy moves all your organs out of place. I ended up getting BAD, from bowel issues. It was acting like cDef, but isn't. I. Went to my gastrointestinal Dr. took special blood work up. I still must be careful in what I eat or end up with severe cramping, gas and diarrhea. Now no reg. coffee, fried food, deep fried foods, breaded pork chops, dairy etc. Donuts😢. I also have issues with spaghetti sauce, but not the fresh tomatoes uncooked. Also, ketchup gives me indigestion.
I take a dose of cholestyramine powder mixed with water before I go to bed. Since I've been doing this, I got my life back not needing to worry about having a bathroom nearby. I had my gallbladder out at age 16 in 1999. Before I tried cholestyramine, I was popping Imodium like candy just so I can be out and about. Now everything, pretty much, feels normal.
Thank you for the video I am having surgery on Tuesday and have one colossal stone and many little stones. I am now getting a lot of pain and don't ever want to go through this again. I have eaten very healthily, but now I am dealing with future dental surgery. I want to get back to eating healthy again. I have coconut oil ready to go and my vitamin I take and good ones as well. I heard something about issues with digestive enzymes. I want a good brand? What about purified bile salts vs Ox Salt? Thank you. I will watch your videos
Thank you so much for this information! My gallbladder was removed about 18 years ago. By the time they got in there to remove it, there was barely any of it left. It had deteriorated almost completely. I had all kinds of symptoms and continued to have all kinds of symptoms until somebody told me about digestive enzymes, and bile salts. But no one ever told me how to use them in the most effective way. I just now learned that I should take the ox later after I’ve eaten. I’m going to work on that today.

Hope the RUclips algorithm will let this channel catch up, the information here is even better. The explanations of when and when not to use certain products are excellent, haven't seen that so well described elsewhere.
Excellent video I had my Gallbladder removed and many health problems followed. After 35 years I got my live back with those tables .Loperamite one a day is good for me
Hi Riki, in a round about way, yes, losing the gallbladder can remove half of the digestive process and reduce the ability to pull minerals out of your food. And the body needs minerals to make enough HCL. And reflux is normally caused by a LACK of stomach acid. Be sure to watch our video on acid reflux and that will give you more insights into how to correct that. Using what you learn there along with this video, can help you maximize your digestion. ruclips.net/video/ZDTUrYGVu7Q/видео.html
I had a cyst in my gallbladder so it was removed. My biggest issue is I've have to take supplements now. My b12 and D are always low. Plus I'm a firm believer in probotics helping the gut. With that being said as long as i dont skip meals i have no diarrhea. But if i skip a meal or go long periods without eating it does produce diarrhea.
Thank you so much for this extremely valuable information. You have explained it in a way I have not heard yet, especially about how to take ox bile. I love coconut oil, to fry eggs and sometimes saute veggies in and even on the spoon or on low carb toast. It's beautiful 😊 Thank you so much for the link to the free course. 💚
@@mlclark11 No it's not,that's what we've been told for years but the opposite is true, there are many videos on this subject by cardiologists on youtube They have been guests on other doctor's channels such as Dr, Ken Berry. There are books and numerous studies done by cardiologists. Does do a search and you will see. That's what makes a ketogenic diet so healthy. So many health issues are improved by it.
I had my gallbladder removed in 2021. I was fine for about a year but then the chronic diarrhoea started. Didn’t matter what I ate within about 15 minutes of eating the pain began and then the diarrhoea. I spoke to my doctor after a couple of months and was sent for a colonoscopy. All was fine but further tests showed I had bile acid malabsorption. Apparently this is relatively common after gallbladder removal. My doctor prescribed cholestagel and the difference is amazing. I’m so glad I had my gallbladder removed. Honestly the pain it caused was horrendous.
Hi! i have the same exact problem which i'm trying to figure out. Not sure if i need bile salts or not. Did the Cholestagel cause malnutrition or any other side effects? still do not know if his theory of acid not being neutralized causing the diarrhea is valid.
I have bowel prolapse and my problem is constipation so maybe a little loosening of the stool following the removal of my gall bladder may be beneficial?
This is not just losening. This is uncontrollable. You will never know when and why it will happen. You can never prepare for it. Your life will revolve around it because you can't stabilise it. You will never know what will trigger the diarrhoea, and when. Whether it's eating fatty or sweet or acidy or dairy, raw or cooked, 10 minutes after eating or 2 hours, and how many times in a row you have to run a day. As the years go buy you plan everything around toilets. Your work, your social events, your shopping,... going on longer journeys than 30 minutes have to be seriously planned long before you intend to go, to know when do you have to stop eating beforehand. And as you get older it gets worse, more frequent. So it's not a good thing. They should mention this minor problem before or at least after they operate. Having some intolerance, you just stop eating the thing that triggers it. But with this, you will never know.
Do you have any thoughts/opinions on taking milk thistle supplements at bedtime when the gallbladder has been removed? I'm scheduled for surgery in the coming weeks for removing the gallbladder so i am trying to educated myself as much as possible. Thank you.
I regret having my gallbladder removed …a doctor later told me that people die with gallbladders full of stones without ever having a symptom…as the pain is caused by inflammation from food allergies. I’d recommend going to a naturopath and having a full allergy panel. I’d Put off the surgery, use digestive enzymes and milk thistle. Milk thistle (80% sylmarin) supports and protects the liver. No side effects. My naturopath had me take it 3x a day 15 minutes before meals. Digestive enzymes after eating. God bless you.
Milk thistle is a blood thinner also, so wouldn’t recommend if having surgery. 1 a yr or 6 mo to keep liver good. But if allergic to golden rod don’t take will make allergies worse.
@@marymadalenem2351 After having my gallbladder removed I suffered attacks of pain ( “gallbladder attacks”) and my liver swelled to over twice it’s natural size. The surgery caused damage to my liver. I went to a naturopath after getting to answer from the surgeon. The naturopath tested me for allergies, and gave me milk thistle EXTRACT -80% sylmarin, digestive enzymes, and other cleansing, and supporting herbs. The swelling of my liver began to resolve very quickly. You don’t want just straight milk thistle.
I found your comments about taking bile supplements after a meal interesting. It makes sense, intellectually, but looking at the bottle of bile salts I have it says to take before a meal. As a consumer, these opposing pieces of information make things very complicated. My experience with bile has been limited to one manufacturer, so I know very little about bile salts. Can you provide examples where manufacturers of bile salts corroborate your comment on timing? Thanks
Hi @Eddie Marano , no and it's so bad that many manufactures put ingredients together in the same supplement that actually cancel each out and make the supplement worthless. But keep mind that many health "experts" are making the same mistake and telling people to take ox bile with a meal. Mistakes are common. For years, we thought smoking was healthy. It happens. But I explain the timing of ox bile in more detail in this newer video here and once you watch that, it's going to make a lot more sense to you: ruclips.net/video/6EhZiBE2SBc/видео.html Let us know how it goes.
I had to have my gallbladder removed. After my second child was born, I had severe abdominal pain, and I had over 20 gallstones. However, they acted like I could go back to my normal diet afterward. Now, 3 years later, I have really bad diarrhea and cramps.

Same here. Big problems
Maybe all the doctors that will remove gallbladders should have theirs removed while in medical school. Then, they might be able to help the rest of us while they are figuring out how to live without theirs.
LOL. I like this idea.

I had my out 2 weeks after the birth of my first child. The surgery was open as it was 1972, no other kind of surgery available then. It was at the holidays when I had a bad attack, went to ER and was told my gallbladder was severely inflamed and could rupture. Long long story, the Dr that did the surgery was barely out of training, the two senior surgeons were at home enjoying the holidays. The Dr made several errors in my surgery, the most deadly was he severely damaged my bile ducts, panicked I guess and just closed as usual and basically I almost died, I have suffered DAILY because not only my gallbladder is gone but the Bile Duct Injuries that happened were so severe that even after highly skilled surgeons repaired the ducts, nothing was ever the same. I would say if you don't want to spend your days with indigestion , bloating and chronic bowel problems, do what you can to heal the one you have. My niece just had hers removed here in March of 2024, it was in danger of rupturing so it was a case of she had to. In hospital one full day prior to the removal and went home the next day in late afternoon. She was NOT apprised of what she is now going to go through.....Some people do find, others, MANY others do not do fine and are left with chronic digestion problems, IBS and lots of bloating. She was not told much of anything and I am going to have to keep fining articles and information and share them to her. Keep your gallbladder if you can, it DOES have an important function in the body.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU! After having my gallbladder removed 31 YEARS AGO and having chronic diarrhea for over 2 decades and acid reflux constantly this makes total sense!!! Why has no one else ever said this? This makes me SO MAD & sad at the same time...Had mine removed at 22 yo, only to find out, much later, that this is a Red Flag for Hormones issues, cue PCOS & Infertility - again no Doctor made a connection to hormones, suggested Ox Bile, gallbladder connection or explained why my nails are thin & peeling and my left Macula detached in 2020 and I now have a rubber band around it and my retinas torn (Vitamin Deficiency from not being able to absorb)....Good Greif!

I had mine removed 21 or 22 years ago. On July 3rd. They kept me overnight & I went home on the 4th of July. I also was told decades ago that I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Of course, who knows, maybe my bad gallbladder was causing those symptoms.

Hi! I had my gallbladder removed 26 years ago and never really had problems until recently. I watched another guy on RUclips that really helped me. I have had a dull ache under my right rib cage for a little over a year. I learned about taking bile salts from my chiropractor several years ago. The bile salts didn't seem to be helping with my right side ache. I started taking Tudca on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and again in the afternoon on an empty stomach. The dull ache went away the next day. I was honestly amazed. I am not one to believe people when they say that something worked that quickly, but it worked that quickly and I feel like it was a small miracle. I also take a digestive enzyme with most meals and that really helped me with bloating and feeling like a brick was sitting in my stomach after eating a meal. I really like your videos and the explanations about the acid and alkaline coming together and making a "sizzle". It was really easy to understand. Thank you!
Thx for info, haven't had problems till recently. Severe stomach cramping, sharp pain like with gallbladder. My Reiki master told me I need enzymes & probiotics. I just don't know which because there's so many types. I've heard of Tudco & will definitely CHK it out.
Thank you for posting your symptoms. I've had the same dull ache since removal in 2002. Thought it was phantom pain. Will research Tudca. Thanks much!
What is Tudca and where does one find it? Gallbladder removed 40 yrs ago been having problems a lot lately. Doctor is not knowledgeable at all.

I had similar rib pain and found a fatty with liver through a CT (not blood test. Considering I get one every year).
Yes, thank you. All this info has really helped me understand. Had my gallbladder removed and was never taught anything like this.
Glad it's helping @Carmen Marquez-Diaz, this video talks about the right way to use ox bile: ruclips.net/video/6EhZiBE2SBc/видео.html
Hope that helps.
I had my gallbladder removed 3 years ago . I was never told any of this!!! I went to my GI doctor and asked about the diarrhea. She never mentioned the gallbladder connection!!! I also have frequent pain which my doctor dismissed as well !!! So happy to find this video !!! Now I understand my symptoms and know that I am not crazy !!! Looking forward to checking out your other informative videos!!!! Thank you for your help!!!
Quitting wheat was the only thing that stopped the diarrhea for me. Despite testing negative for celiac. Difficult to avoid wheat completely so symptoms were still off and on. Took digestive enzymes which helped. Eventually low energy, low stress tolerance and low mood led doc to check b vitamin levels. Also got a dna test as per another savvy doctor on my team. Finally got prescribed active form methylated b vitamins 12 and 9 which turned my life and health around significantly. I feel 16 again.
@@cornypinkuni9519 hello-- B12 will Not work without all of the other B's. B Complex is totally necessary. Why MD's & even surgeons prescribe 1 vitamin, when they are not Nutritionists is beyond me. Part of that A Type personality disorder perhaps....

Same here.
Nowhere did anyone tell me I needed to supplement if there were issues.
Not until I saw a gastro doc.
He told me about ginger, probiotics, and Now Super Enzyme.
I learned more about all the things in this vid later on from Berg.
I got told not to eat cheese, or creamy foods
I had ZERO SYMPTOMS and my gallbladder brought me to my knees one night. (Thought I was having a heart attack.) Had emergency surgery.... gallstone size of a golf ball. Gallbladder was gangrenous and 5X normal size!!! Doctor said I "should've been dead years ago!!" That was in 2010.....😊 taking NO MEDS OF ANY KIND.
I've had NO problems since. My bowel movements are like clockwork. Functioning just fine. I'm blessed it didn't kill me. 71 and doing very well 😊

Thanks for the positive message ❤
My husband had emergency surgery yesterday,the pain was so intense he didn't care if lived or died, that in how much pain he was.
He had scan and by the time he left there they was ready to operate on him . He had a ruptured in his gallbladder.That was a scariest day of my life .
You have helped me more in 10 minutes than 4 GI specialists and 5 primary care providers have helped me in 4 years. Thank you so much for the info!!!! I even asked about gallbladder pain and they treated me like I didn't know what I was talking about.
Glad it was helpful. Here is my story of how 23 doctors couldn't help me: ruclips.net/video/Ry_mGzS6JU4/видео.html
Thank you!
Step one-digestive enzymes (killed when food is cooked or processed). This makes so much sense now why a raw food diet has been really helping me!
No one told me anything about issues after gallbladder removal. Mine was an emergency, I couldn't avoid it once I went to the Dr. No one told me anything about aftercare. Thank you for this info.
I have had chronic diarrhea since I had my gallbladder removed. I have no regrets, though about having it removed. I had to be on antibiotics, either by a drip or by pills, because my gallbladder was constantly infected. The surgeon told me it was still infected when she removed it. The diarrhea is a nuisance, but when I asked friends who did have theirs removed, they didn't have that side affect, but I knew that's what was causing the diarrhea. I have learned to stay put for a few hours after meals, because I don't want to have an embarrassing situation where I soil my knickers. Thanks for the info.
I completely understand, after many surgeries. They end up squashing my gallbladder when I was five yrs old. Then several surgeries later, they used the bowel to reconstruct the ureters, then this last surgery six years ago had an urinostomy and cut out the Iliosical valve, since then I've had chronic diarrhea. I can't eat out unless we go straight back home. Yes, I carry a diaper bag everywhere.
Hope this helps you, I'm looking forward to trying it.
I have the exact same problem.
Finally! I had appendicitis so I stopped refusing to have my gall bladder removed. My surgeon smiled big.(?) I didn’t want someday to have to have another surgery ( does anybody not need gall bladder surgery?) I have looked for bile salts with no luck. I have three kinds of pads, know all the restrooms in my frequent haunts. Everything you said made sense, so I don’t need to gloss over my symptoms with doctors. I had been unable to decide between IC, diverticulitis, colitis and Crohn’s disease. Otherwise my health issues are okay for a seventy-one year old on a statin, synthroid and aziothiaprine.
I had that aside effect also. The only thing that alleviated it was quitting wheat (despite not being celiac) and eating more rice and coconut oil. Then 20 years later further negative side effects led to more investigating and pointed to b12 deficiency. Despite being a meat eater who eats low carb and rarely if ever drinks alcohol. A savvy biochemist Naturopathic Doctor prescribed active form methylated b12 along with b9. Life changing for digestion, mood, energy and more. Digestive enzymes along with betaine assisted too. But the common genetic variant in the folate pathway such as mthfr and fut2, may be part of why some ppl do ok post surgery and others dont. There is a line of thinking that north american wheat being fortified with synthetic (fake) b vitamins interferes with the conversion process that 30-60% of people that possess these common gene variants. B vitamins are also linked to cholesterol levels and quality which is again tied in with gallbladder issues in the first place.
@@judytullos9889Has anyone checked your b vitamin levels or your genetic markers to see if you are suffering from mthfr gene variants?
Thank God there are people like you sir my gallbladder was taken out in 2006 and my whole digestive issue has been awful.I don’t have good luck with doctors
Hope this info helps. Here is another video that is popular with those who have lost their gallbladder: ruclips.net/video/6EhZiBE2SBc/видео.html
I had my gallbladder removed when I was 19. I don’t remember having any issues after removal. I was just glad it was gone because of the awful pain attacks I’d have in college.
the attacks are the worst.
I had my gallbladder out a few years ago after suffering through a year of horrible gallstone attacks. I would have torn that thing out myself to get rid of the pain. I do have diarrhea more than I did before but it’s worth it for me.
This information is great to know though! I wish my doctors had told me this.
Our new video on how to adjust the dose and timing of ox bile could be helpful too: ruclips.net/video/4iuYpaiFT3Y/видео.html
The ox bile taken apart from food burns too much somewhere….stomach, esophagus?
I had my gallbladder removed and appendix back in 1973. In 2016 I was diagnosed with cancer if the colon and small intestine. They caught it early and got it all. They told me I have Crohn's and I truly believe it was caused by all of the diarrhea and bile free flowing through my intestines.
I had my gallbladder removed over 20 yrs ago and still to this day not one doctor has told me or figured out that my long list of medical problems could all be because I had my gallbladder removed and never told that I needed to take steps to assure that my body continued to work correctly. So thank you for putting this information out there for people like me.
I'm now 69. My gallbladder was taken out 25 years ago. I was never told to take a supplement. My gallbladder had become infected. I had someone rush me to the emergency room.
Doctors don't ever tell patients that supplements will help because their view is that the gallbladder doesn't do anything anyway so we might as well yank it out.
So amazed how physicians just gloss over it. Not a big deal to remove gallbladder. I STILL have the internal pain after having it removed 3 weeks ago. So fascinating. THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION 👌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks for sharing! This video might give insights as well: ruclips.net/video/I4iNJeD7mCQ/видео.html
Do you still feel this way after months? Had mine removed 2 weeks ago, doctor told me i need a month before i can go back to my usual daily life.
Did they accidentally nick something they shouldn't have? You should talk to your doc!! When my GB was removed my doc stressed coming back if I was still in pain a week- 10 days post surgery.
I had severe Gerd. After testing me, doctor determined the flap between esophagus and tummy was ulcerated and not working and bleeding. I became very anemic. They decided to give me a tummy tuck. They also removed my gall bladder and routed my liver to drain into my stomach. I could hardly eat. Lost way too much weight. 15 years ago. I am 5'3", weight just under 100 lbs. Still have acid reflux and I feel it did more harm that good.
Almost immediately after my gallbladder removal i developed Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction. The pain from SOD attacks is off the chart. Bile backs up to my liver, my liver enzyme levels rocket and its always an ambulance to hospital and 24hrs of the worst pain imaginable. Most people with SOD develop it after gallbladder removal, not sure why? Opioids are a trigger for alot of us too.
I have this too. It’s agony!
So do I, pain is agony
Me too! Had surgery to clear out biliary duct and open the sphincter
Same here! I nearly died several times as my liver had totally packed up.
I was told to say goodbye to my family.
I'm in constant pain and fear it might happen again.
I'm so sorry you're experiencing that awful pain as it's so horrible it can completely ruin one's life.
I hope you can improve the symptoms after watching this video ❤
@@E-Kat I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, sending lots of positive thoughts and good wishes your way 🤗
It’s good to listen to this I got my gallbladder take it out so far. I’ve been fine. It’s been about 15 years now. No problems hopefully it stay that way God willing.
Same with me. I take digestive enzymes just in case.
I had my gallbladder removed when I was about 34 after putting up with insane pain for nearly a year. Then I decided to allow the specialist to remove it. I'm now 75! Nobody ever explained to me the significance of having the gallbladder removed and so all of this news is a real revelation to me. I would like to thank you for making this information available and, since I love coconut, I will try to follow each meal with the oil regime.
Hi how is it did you try all of that
Today is my lucky day. I have issues from no gallbladder. I live in rural Maine. The Medical sidewalk ends some 70 miles from my home.
My gall bladder was elective surgery based on advice that a full hysterectomy would cause issues with my gall bladder. It cCame out in 1982 leaving a 13 inch scar. (Old surgeon. Old methods. Four bridges.)
I've always eaten smartly, but beginning a couple of years ago, I began a series of the Hersheys.
My doctor treated me for parasites with pills that had a bigger downside than a case of parasites could ever cause. He's retired now, replaced by a condescending new by with control issues.
I will be 81 in a few months. This pill pusher could care less. It's frustrating to be living in the backwater of medical science.
You have made my day and my life into the future. Thanks a bunch from the Foothills of Western Maine.
I had my gallbladder removed and have had no problems and take no supplements to compensate. It is so much better than the pain of the gall bladder.
How old are you and how long ago did you have surgery?
Same here
My skin suffers .
I had my gallbladder removed 2019 - the first 3 months were fine and then digestive issues began - then health issues set in because my food would go right through me as soon as I ate - I began to do my own research - now I take digestive enzymes with pre and probiotics - I am gluten free, dairy free, eat low carb, low fat, no red meat - eat good fiber and have straightened out so many issues - I take other supplements as well - eat small amounts of food and eat something about every 2 hrs - I am 79 years young
Great job finding your own answers.
Your proplem was the food you were taking first few weeks after the surgery . I think you didn't take care of it durring that period that why you start to have a lot of digestive problems afterwards
@@djameliedz8442 no it wasn’t - I was on a soft diet, very basic food, almost bland tasting - I was 74 yrs old and it is something that often happens to the elderly when they have this surgery
After removing gall bladder can we conceive again or not

What if you have had your gall bladder removed and have had gastric bypass surgery . ( Roux en Y) I ordered Dr.Clark’s Betaine HCL & Dr.Clark’s Digestive Enzymes , for GERD.
Please reply .
I finally broke down and have made an appointment with a gut doctor. It's been years since I've had things checked out and in speaking to her the first time, she was the first person I've ever had tell my how important the gall bladder is. I had it out back in the mid nineties and in the first few years afterwards had 3 surgeries to remove scar tissue from the bile duct. Yet, I had no crystals in the bile. Next time they said I will probably need a stent and I feel that time may be soon.
You've given me ideas for questions to ask her when we next meet after testing is done.
I had my gallbladder removed 35 years ago I never knew any of this thanks for information.
I'm in the same boat. And I'm a retired RN who thought my physicians were knowledgeable. Not
Brilliant information. Pathetic that we aren’t told the things you covered by the surgeon or PCP! I had my gallbladder removed in 2015. It was full of slug and stones. I was fine then BOOM, the worst pain I’d ever experienced. I’ve given birth to two children and been shot twice in combat, those were picnics with Unicorns compared to that pain. It’s 2023 and I still can’t eat without a bathroom nearby. The doctors have tried several different things with me but my body rejects everything! I drink some water, off to the loo. Brush my teeth, on the loo I go. It’s insane. My blood work says I’m perfectly healthy. I still do my coconut oil each morning in my coffee, I’d hate to see what happens if I stopped that!!!
😊😊😊
I have found that adding some lemon to water works better than just water. Most water, unless bottled and labeled pH balanced, most water is acidic. Lemon, oddly enough, helps to increase alkaline in water when they are mixed to a better pH level.
Also, over the years, foods have had to shelved. One is dairy. I have found a great plant based cheese which I eat sometimes. (I miss cheese, and willing to compromise if the product is ‘close enough’ for me)
Meat is acidic. I can occasionally eat red meat, but its easier if ground up and low fat. Pat dry of excess grease or oil. Eat with salad, not bread.
Plant fats like avocado, olives, nuts (well chewed and limited amount), also agree with me.
One last thing, try gluten free bread, and other gluten free products, if you want that sort of food. It is easier on digestion.
I do eat rice, organic if i can find it.
Best of luck on your journey. ❤
That's funny I also had mine removed in 2015 as well. And what's crazy is I had two surgeries before that like 6 months before that, and one of them was a major surgery. And the pain I got from that gallbladder surgery my entire body hurt even my legs. I couldn't even walk I've never had that much pain. And it was just for my gallbladder being removed. And they were like oh it's no big deal. No I couldn't do anything for a few days it was terrible. Like I had to have help going to the restroom like being carried etc. And I had also been in like a really bad car accident where someone hit me head on, on a freeway. This was worse than that too! Well minus the ribs all being shattered. but that's only because breathing with rib shattered is terrible. But the rest of it was still not as bad as my gallbladder removed.
Yes I said to my doc I had the worst pain since childbirth! I was doubled over and could barely stand. He said it was gastroenteritis and gave me omeprazole 🙄 A few months later I had emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder which had burst and pus and infection was through my system. I was on intravenous antibiotics for nearly 3 weeks and also had to have a stent put in my bile duct to redirect the bile. I honestly thought I was dying, I was so ill.
@@angelaleishman1570
And then they act like getting your gallbladder removed is no big deal! And you're just fine having it removed it's not a big necessary body part lol
I had problems from my teen years. An endo scope showed chronic gastritis. A referral to a surgeon with him telling me the gallbladder would become gangrene. I had two sons 11 and 8 years old and I didn't want to leave them without a mama. My problems went from bad to worse. I was working with a group of GI doctors of which one of them was doing a study of Native Americans and gallbladder disease. He said most of his patients with GB disease were of Native American heritage. So do I on my dad's side.
Thank you so much! I had my gall bladder removed 30 years ago and the surgeon never once, nor any other doctor in the last 30 yrs has mentioned the need to supplement with Bile. I’ve had some issues ever since that surgery and the lack of bile may well be the issue.

I had mine removed 22 years ago and no one ever told me that. I had some issues over the years but nothing terrible and never knew that it could be related to this. Also, thinking about this matter I am wondering if after all this time is it necessary for me to have the Oxi-bile and how often? What difference would make?
Thank you very much for the excellent explanation of this topic.
The excruciating pain in the right shoulder is the biggest issue after gallbladder removal. No one mentions this.Apparently its associated with a nerve from one site to the other. This pain is one of the worst.Infact its as bad as gallbladder pain.
I get severe muscle pain in my right shoulder. I was injured in 6 accidents but 2 years ago I went septic and had emergency surgery to remove sludge and then my gall bladder.
I just had my gallbladder removed this past Sunday, had stones and highly inflamed gallbladder. I’ve had same issues with my right shoulder pain that is excruciating (I was in NC for thanksgiving where surgery was performed, I live in Florida) my doctor here has given me a muscle relaxer, NP isn’t up with the research about what the procedure is about. I’m confused with all the stuff what to do or not do? I have low thyroid, was on diabetic medication (off now do to my ketogenic lifestyle) can you recommend the ox bile , each one has different ingredients, I like to eat natural
The shoulder pain post surgery was the worst!!!
I was subjected to regular enemas by my mother because I didn’t have regular bowel movements & never did until I had my gall bladder removed! Now I’m regular as a clock! It was found to be only 13% effective, which is not at all. I’m so grateful this was discovered by my doctor & I had a successful non invasive surgery! It changed my life! Zero side effects.
ALL surgery is invasive. Even laparoscopic.

I had gallbladder removed 60 years ago. Lot of problems with digestion and diarrhea. And have some horrid stories of accidents. First thing I do on a new store is locate the restrooms. No depends can handle accidents. I was late 6 minutes for doctor and asked why I was late, I had to use bathroom. I had to reschedule. Maybe after watching this I can live a more normal normal life. THANK YOU. The gallbladder was ready to burst. Age 24. Weighed 98 pounds. Familia type Gall bladder. One cousin was 17.
I use probiotics and the ox bile and green coconut water.
I haven't watched other videos. I hope one addresses how our bodies react to anti biotic because I experience terrible diarrhea for 6 weeks or more when I take any antibiotic. Also I have type 2 diabetes and have problem with being dehydrated no matter how much water I drink. So I am hoping this new new infirmation will help because I Also have have kidney stones.
Long time to wait to get information and explanation of the diarrhea problem. Our family calls it the dumping syndrome. I need to share this.
Also does being extremely upset cause an increase in bile production. 60 years of guestions😊.

Had mine removed around 13 year ago. Not had too much trouble since and no pain which was the worst ever leading up to removal. Bowles movements have been fine apart from around every few months I get diarrhoea for around a day or two. Like I’m emptying out. Then I got normal again for a few months. It’s not really bothered me too much and doesn’t happen too often so it’s not changed my life or anything. This was great info thank you. I like everyone else was ever told any of this. I always wondered why they said we didn’t need it yet we all have one? Why would it be there if we didn’t need it? 🤷♂️
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Had my gall bladder out 20 years and have not heard much of this. I have had lots of trouble so I will try it all!
Glad it was helpful @Jane Cox, here is another video that is very popular with viewers who have lost their gallbladder: ruclips.net/video/6EhZiBE2SBc/видео.html
I'm one of those people. 13 years without my gall baldder and my dad told me about these videos he found. I thought it was just my colitis flaring up, but it was just because the doctors don't tell you there is anything wrong with not having a gall bladder. 😢 Now I have so much research to do to find these supplements and fix my diet in the right way 😵💫
Thank you for the info I've had my gallbladder removed and still have chronic diarrhea and yellow stool that burns coming out you've so far been more help than my so called doctor
My gallbladder was badly infected and my surgeon removed it 2 years ago. I only had one stone. It was the size of a golfball. I was in agony the night I went to the ER with upper right quadrant pain. I gave birth to two babies naturally, no pain meds or epidural. I can handle pain. That night I begged the doctor to knock me out. I got out of the hospital two days later and recovered over about two weeks. Have had no problems or pain since! Quite an experience though!
I had a Whipple procedure for a pancreatic tumor in 1993. The common bile duct, gallbladder, duodenum, half the stomach, half the pancreas, and a few feet of intestines were removed. I went from 106 pounds to 75 pounds. It’s almost impossible for me to gain weight and I avoid all meat and fried foods. My current G.I. doctor put me on a probiotic, FiberCon, and Colestipol daily. There’s an improvement but things have never been the same since that surgery and subsequent two revisions. My surgeon had to create a new pancreatic duct during the third surgery due to chronic pancreatitis. I also take prescription digestive enzymes. I cannot drink supplements such as Ensure because of the oil in these products. I must eat small meals to avoid feeling sick. Even being careful is not always successful. It’s a chronic condition that rules my life. I know where every restroom is within a 20 mile radius. My doctors have run out of suggestions to improve my condition. I wonder if bile salts would help and I’ll mention it to my G.I. doctor for his opinion. It’s exhausting!
I had my gallbladder out at 16yrs old now 76 yrs .the pain when I had attacks I felt like I was dying . I was told to cut out all fatty foods then when I let hospital the Dr told me I could try a small roast potato for Christmas lunch I was fine so I did not stick to no fatty thinbs
I developed appendicitis in 1980. It was common back then to remove the gall bladder any time surgery was indicated for anything else for just any old reason. Aholes. I've had IBS and other issues. Fried food, except in tiny amounts, has been a nono for decades (sigh). Wish I'd known this stuff sooner so thank you.
It's appendix,not gall bladder that is removed perhaps
I had my gallbladder out 30 years ago this week, it was taken out immediately after having a c-section. I was 19 and had been having attacks for over a year. I've never been the same since. They found stones in my bile duct at the time which complicated my surgery and recovery time. Even though I've lived with digestive issues for 30 years since gallbladder removal, I'm so tired of it and want to feel normal after eating meals.
30 yrs next August for me, I was 17 and 2 weeks post partum. Same issue with stones plugging the duct, so had the "big cut" instead of laparoscopic surgery as well. Have had the most horrific heartburn or indigestion ever since and been living on antacids.. I feel your pain 😢 hopefully we both can figure out how to manage and make our lives better now!
How soon I can start the steps following my gallbladder removal. My surgeon said don’t interfere yet with the natural healing as the body will adjust the amount of bile dripping in the duodenum! He also said the bile duct will be naturally widened! How accurate also this is!!! Thank you in advance for your reply! Deeply appreciate it!
We're not allowed to give any advice that goes against what your doctor told you to do. But you can check the comments below to see if other people had their bile correct itself on it's own.
I had mine removed 35 years ago and had 465 gallstones. That was in the days when they went in and made big cut across your abdomen it was a tough. Nowadays I have trouble digesting raw veggies and salad and chronic ibs-d
Oh wow! I can't digest salad greens either! They always give me the runs. Ugh 🤦🏻♀️ I never knew any of this, but my gallbladder was a leaky, infected mess; only 7% functional in a HIDA scan.
@@themoonlitquill Salad is one of the few things that gives me dumping. I don't think it's the greens though, I think it's the oil in the dressing.
My gallbladder was perforated and gangrenous, and I thought I was relatively healthy! Thank you for these tips, I’m in recovery now so it’s helpful to know what to expect.

Wow, I can't believe what I've just learned. My history is gallbladder removal 10 years ago, and Keto for the last 4 years. I've felt great on Keto until about a year ago when I started to get a dull sensation under my left rib cage. This has steadily got worse and I have attacks now after eating bacon or hamburger for instance. I'm afraid to eat anything right now.
I totally understand Susie. It might be worth taking some actions to see if you can get that pathway moving. The most effective combo we see clients do is to do a Beet Flow flush one day and then a coffee suppository the next day and do that combo once a week until it starts moving.

Oh. My. Goodness.
I know this is from a year ago, but I have the same issue. The left sided pain after being ketonfor a few years. Went to the doctor a few days ago because of it, and now waiting for a CT scan.
How are you now?
@@jeepstergal4043 when is your ct scan?
I had mine removed about 30 years ago. I had no symptoms until a day or two before emergency surgery, my gall bladder had become gangrenous!! so key hole surgery was not an option.
It was a 3 month recovery time, surgeon said I was very lucky that it hadn't burst.
I've had no problem or pain since & and can eat anything.
I was lucky to have a good doctor who came to my home & referred my for scans and urgent admission to hospital.
My Gastro surgeon assured me he would clear my ducts but then didn't do it because he said my lab results didn't show it was necessary. Once home, I passed a stone later that day - VERY painful. This thick bile issue turned me onto ox bile & Tudca but I never really used it right and foods that weren't bloating me before began to. I now take enzymes when I eat high fat foods and will definitely try the ox bile after eating. I also take ACV before eating and put small amounts of MCT oil in my coffee while still fasted.
Hopefully once using the ox bile correctly the occasional bloating will stop.
Thank you for a very clear presentation!
I had my gallbladder out 36 yrs ago due to a 1 inch in diameter gallstone. The attacks were terrible. I love food high in fat. I haven't had a problem since. They didn't give me any painkillers for the incision pain. I had to hire a baby nurse as my daughter was 1 yr old and I couldn't lift her for 3 wks. But haven't had problems since.
I didn’t know until sometime during the last 10 years that having my gallbladder out could cause issues. Never had a doctor mention it until I went to see my doctor, don’t remember what for but he mentioned my not having a gallbladder. I’ve had stomach problems for years. When I had my gallbladder out 35 years ago I thought they would get better. No. I still have stomach problems all the time. I’m 70 years old and I don’t think I care anymore. Take this, take that, buy this, buy that….I deal with fibromyalgia (28 years) and major depressive disorder and I’m usually too apathetic to care about much.

I have noticed after having my gallbladder out it is hard to move bowels and when I do it's hard and firm so I would say constipation is a big after symptom
That I was never told about
I was diagnosed as a coeliac 6 years ago. One of the symptoms can be poor bile production. Hence, I developed gall stones and had to have my gall bladder removed. This happened just before my coeliac diagnosis! I have been taking ox bile, but the instructions were to take during a meal! I appreciate learning about the timing for this and understanding about the need for acidification first. Thank you.
Yes I've had my gallbladder removed 25 yrs ago and had never been told any of this information. I was also told this was fantom pain if I had any issues. My son is having what sounds like Gallbladder attacks and if he indeed has his removed I am definitely sending him the link to this video. thank you so much
Patty wolfe..be careful people have died from a diseased gallbladder. Don't let anyone wait eith gallbladder attacks.
thank you so muvh! i soft cried after hearing all this lifechanging info. I feel freed from these issues. Particularly my very depressing skin problems Ive had since gb removal. And having doctor after doctor telling me i have no internal issues. To the point where i eould starve myself partly due to subconsciously realizing i didnt get these skin or bloating issues if i didnt eat.
You are so welcome. thanks so much for sharing this. Getting the timing and dosage down right for some supplements can be very tricky for some folks. This video can be very helpful. ruclips.net/video/4iuYpaiFT3Y/видео.html
Please let us know how it goes. It's pretty fun to find answers.
I found TC Hale while listening to him talk about his book on Lex&Terry. (2012). I found the oxen bile and started taking it at night. After about six months- the stomach or digestion pain subsided. I sypped eating meat, drinking milk, and added more fiber. It has made a difference from the daily pain I was having.
By the way, TC I am an Orange Park Alumni also.
Hi Kathy, great to hear from you! Glad you're doing well. Go Raiders and tell Lex and Terry I said hi. :)
My son have emergency gallbladder removal surgery Last Summer. The surgeon said it was necrotic.
he's been real sick ever since. he's dropped over half his body weight he was a big Boy 6 ft 6 and over 400 lbs he's now down to 250 and it's all because he can't eat.
we've found a few things that he can tolerate briefly.
He's been so very ill in the aftermath of the surgery.
he is gaunt now. because of the change in size & loss of muscle he's walks with a cane. he has no muscle tone, his joints and ligaments are an issue, he literally will fall easily.
Malnutrition.
This info will help him alot!!

Ghee works much the aame way as coconut oil. I lost a ton of weight while using it. I think for the reason you said- my body was holding on to fats.
thanks for sharing.
How.much ghee and how did you take it? I gained a ton of weight since having my gallbladder removed.
Im so glad i found you, ive had abdominal pain since i was 10 and have been to the ER more than 40 times in my life, after many many trips and the removal of my gallbladder, at the age of 26 i was finally diagnosed with crohn's disease. Im on my way to using oz bile to help "talked to my dr and he okd it" me not be so bloated and feel better, he thinks itll help with my fatigue and bowel movements as well
Wow, that's a long time. Whether it improves bloating or not can depend on other factors and how you use it. Here is our video how to avoid common mistakes with ox bile: ruclips.net/video/6EhZiBE2SBc/видео.html

I had the same problem, went 20 years without getting a proper diagnosis for Crohn's. I'm fine now after having 18 inches of severely inflamed fistulized intestine removed, also gallbladder and complete hysterectomy (lots of damage there, too). I use protein powders mixed with water/ice to supplement a high protein diet with low fat and very low carbs. I like Orgain (pea protein mix) a LOT - it's one of the few things I can eat/drink without issues. Crohn's disease used to be a rare diagnosis, now very common. I was a medical transcriptionist who never heard of it in people's charts back in the 70s and 80s, then it exploded in the dictations. As MTs, we can see trends that other people/researchers aren't catching. One doctor in Florida thinks Crohns is from dairy cows which get a similar disease (somewhat like tuberculosis) and that the organism which causes the disease survives pasteurization. The dairy industry has kept this information from the public with strong lobbying efforts. Humans (who shouldn't be eating dairy at all, that's for baby cows, not humans) used to get their milk from 'ol Bessie out back, one animal that they could keep an eye on, whether she was ill or not. Now, cows are bred repeatedly until they can't get pregnant anymore and/or their milk production goes low enough, then are slaughtered usually age 3 or so, before the disease like tuberculosis would show up; then the mix of hundreds of cow's milk production is sent in tanker trucks to the processing plant where, again, pasteurization doesn't kill the organism that may be causing the Crohn's. Apparently some people are just more susceptible to it than others. I had it for 20+ years before I was diagnosed, and my daughter came down with it at age 17 herself. Intestinal diseases run in the family with many being ill from nonspecific IBS and ulcerating colitis issues. All of this is to tell you, take it from a 69 year old woman with lots of time figuring this all out, you need a very high protein diet that's easily assimilable. The protein powders really help augment that. They are also low residue which helps the BM issues as well. You might want to supplement with high doses of Vitamin C - it helps the healing process tremendously.
I have had my gallbladder out for over twenty years. I have never had the problems others talk about. I still can eat what I want and I still battle constipation. I am very grateful for that but not the constipation. Thanks for the video.

Had my gallbladder removed 35 years ago...absolutely no problems..no diet change
What diet do you follow?
Yeah, if around 50% of people have trouble after removal, that means 50% of people must not have any trouble. Seems like you picked the right team to be on. :)
My sister had her gallbladder removed at the age of 30, now she is 78 whenever she eats meat she's having pain.
What's your age right now
Had my gall bladder removed years ago. The post op & recovery were extremely painful & I was popping the pain killers because they should have given me a stronger dose.
Now, I can basically eat anything I want.❤
I realised that post-op you can rid that pain with peppermint water as you have a build up of gas from the surgery...I too was given pain killers galore until an older nurse came on duty, rolled her eyes and gave me peppermint water, that kicked the problem and she was quite frustrated that pain killers get used instead.
Thank you, thank you
I’ve been without a gallbladder since 1985 and still have problems in that area. Listening to you has been a blessing after all these yrs.
Never been told by any of my physicians
So glad it was helpful. Our new video on how to adjust the timing and dose of ox bile without a gallbladder could also be helpful: ruclips.net/video/4iuYpaiFT3Y/видео.html
I was told it was no problem without the gallbladder, it was an emergency for me, but I do have problems, and I have gained a lot of weight and don’t eat hardly nothing because it doesn’t set good on my stomach or it go right through
I still don't regret losing mine..The pain is so bad, like labor pains..And I had the surgery before the laser, so I have a huge incision , which was even worse than anything thing I can think of ..After a couple of decades I got a attack, went to the hospital about 4 hours before my shift ..I was in so much pain, when they took x rays they told me it was my gull bladder, I told them it went away long ago..the nurse said, they ''never'' go away they were dormant ..I asked if they could give me a pain pill & I would go to the doctor later, the nurse was so kind, leaned over & told me..Honey you're not going anywhere , this is very serious. So the job I had just started 2 months before was kind enough to let me keep my job while I healed.. I was off for a few weeks..
thanks for sharing that story.
i think it was for the best in my case as well i was in bad shape
I had severe cramps for 20 years due to gall stones. Having my gall bladder out was the best thing i ever did. I was warned beforehand to limit my intake of fatty foods/acidic drinks.
Yeah, the pain is the worst
Perfectly executed verbal fine print! You don’t mention vitamin A. You need equal amounts of D and A for either of them to work properly.
:)
Mine was removed seven years, yesi have the diarrhea i also. Have gas all the time.i have tried almost everything, havent found it yet, i am type two diabetic which doesnt help some of the foods good for type two just irritates my diarrhea. I dont travel after meals and always take a change of clothes, my gall bladder was gangrenous when removed, i was doa bucame back. I can put up with the inconvenience in order to love. Good info.thanks
Can the ox bile supplement be delivered in an enteric coating? That would seem to solve the timing problem so that it could be taken just before a meal, make it through the stomach, and provide the bile where it's needed the most. Also, you may have just solved a problem I've lived with for 30 years. You can bet I'll let you know what works for me. Thank You.
I was told it was nothing to worry about. 2006 I was having pain in upper left abdomin after eating certain foods. Gallbladder was diseased with 3 different pathologies. Can't tolerate beans, burp all the time.
I'm 80 and I haven't had a gall bladder since I was 26. Not a single medical issue.
You're really blessed.
You're lucky
Great
Im one of the lucky ones. Ive not had any issues at all in the 20 years my gb has been gone.
Me too
do you bloat after surgery? and how often do you have to go to the bathroom? I'm about to have mine removed in 2 weeks @@74yodinosaur99
I am one who was never told to do anything. Been discovering on my own. Very helpful TY
Hmmm I had mine removed 2 years ago never changed anything and no problems-one of the lucky ones I guess
First thank you! I am also thankful for A I because it heard me say, "I am tired after 4yrs of no gallbladder ( which I didn't want to do but my doctor talked me into it) I have gained over 100lbs...before surgery I was size 8 now I'm size at least 18! Everything suggested my my dr exercise low fat diet (eat plant based foods except still eat fish w/scasles and fins) this weight won't move...I recently bought ox bile and Tudca saw you video ox bile vs yucca which gave me some understanding. I have major belly fat huge thighs and button arms this where the weight is going. Please help with suggestion. New subscriber.
HI @Katina LifeCoach it sounds like you're moving in the right direction. I use ox bile in one way or another with all my clients who have lost their gallbladder. But you may also need to take steps to make sure that biliary pathway is still flowing, even though there is no gallbladder to store it in. You still want that pathway flowing to ensure the body can detox the way it is supposed to or some of those toxins will get stored in fat cells.
In our totally free digestion course, there is an entire page of videos for those who have lost their gallbladder and one of those videos talks about this aspect and steps you can take. I think you said you started that course, but if you haven't, register for free here and that will help a lot: kickitnaturally.com/course
let us know how it goes.
Hi Dr. @@KickItNaturally how do they check if the biliary pathway is still flowing? Do they do some kind of ultrasound? I took my gallbladder out 5 years ago and have put on alot of weight since then and now diagnosed with fatty liver, and always have dull ache near the bile ducts, don't know if its also my liver, please advice thank you.
I still have my gall bladder but also have Sjögren’s autoimmune disease. This can cause bile to become thicker. I take Tudca, a bile salt. This works like magic.
I had to have mine removed 9-years ago, because it was only 7% functional and leaking everywhere. It is definitely an important organ. I've also had my appendix out after it burst during cancer surgery. I was a mess and didn't even know it! 🤦🏻♀️
I will say that life is much harder without that tiny, seemingly insignificant organ. Dumping syndrome is a real pain!
I didn't know what to call the sudden release but one day I was trying to explain to a lady and she had gastric bypass and have had some of the same issues. Dumping syndrome, who would have ever thought that something like this could be a thing.
Our new video on how to adjust the dose and timing of ox bile could be helpful too: ruclips.net/video/4iuYpaiFT3Y/видео.html
@@sherb7256Is "dumping syndrome" where pretty much void everything in your digestive track until you can't? Something I've been calling a "colon blow" after a description of a "cleansing" product.
I initially felt much better after the surgery and getting rid of the infection, but I've been feeling progressively worse and get a lot of pain under my left rib cage. I've lost a little weight, but gained waist fat. My appetite's been wonky, too. Sometimes I feel like I'll never get full. Sounds like I'm not the only one having adventures, though. ✌️😎
I’m 27 and had my gallbladder removed earlier in the year when I was 26 years old. Only issues I’ve had since then are diarrhea when eating too much at once and a 50/50 chance in high fat foods. Had another gallbladder attack/abdominal pain in June, got hospitalized in august because I got a severe fever from it, doctors thought it might be a liver infection, so I was put on antibiotics for 4-6 weeks and everything was fine, no attacks at all. Fast forward to late November or early December of this year, 2023, I had another 2-3 minor attacks.
At this point I’m so confused and fed up with what’s been going on, but this video might’ve explained it! I might’ve had a stone in my bile duct because of it becoming to “sticky”. Hopefully it was small enough to pass on its own. This video definitely gave me more clarity on the issue!🙏🏻thank you so much😊
I had my gall bladder out after having 3 children and twins back in 1998. I believe there is a connection there, just the trauma alone from the pregnancy moves all your organs out of place. I ended up getting BAD, from bowel issues. It was acting like cDef, but isn't. I. Went to my gastrointestinal Dr. took special blood work up. I still must be careful in what I eat or end up with severe cramping, gas and diarrhea. Now no reg. coffee, fried food, deep fried foods, breaded pork chops, dairy etc. Donuts😢.
I also have issues with spaghetti sauce, but not the fresh tomatoes uncooked. Also, ketchup gives me indigestion.
Here is our video on diarrhea after gallbladder removal: ruclips.net/video/9_WfGSyhE2o/видео.html
I take a dose of cholestyramine powder mixed with water before I go to bed. Since I've been doing this, I got my life back not needing to worry about having a bathroom nearby. I had my gallbladder out at age 16 in 1999. Before I tried cholestyramine, I was popping Imodium like candy just so I can be out and about. Now everything, pretty much, feels normal.
Thank you for the video I am having surgery on Tuesday and have one colossal stone and many little stones. I am now getting a lot of pain and don't ever want to go through this again. I have eaten very healthily, but now I am dealing with future dental surgery. I want to get back to eating healthy again. I have coconut oil ready to go and my vitamin I take and good ones as well. I heard something about issues with digestive enzymes. I want a good brand? What about purified bile salts vs Ox Salt? Thank you. I will watch your videos
Thank you so much for this information!
My gallbladder was removed about 18 years ago. By the time they got in there to remove it, there was barely any of it left. It had deteriorated almost completely. I had all kinds of symptoms and continued to have all kinds of symptoms until somebody told me about digestive enzymes, and bile salts. But no one ever told me how to use them in the most effective way. I just now learned that I should take the ox later after I’ve eaten. I’m going to work on that today.
I’m so thankful I found you. Feeling overwhelmed, but I know with your education, I can figure it out. Thank you!
It can be overwhelming at first because it can be a lot of new information. your best bet might be to go through our totally free digestion course because that will walk you through figuring out which aspects of digestion are not working correctly and what steps will help you the most, and shows how to run the simple self-tests at home to figure out which imbalances may be creating trouble.

Hope the RUclips algorithm will let this channel catch up, the information here is even better. The explanations of when and when not to use certain products are excellent, haven't seen that so well described elsewhere.

Hello. Does Gerd have anything to do with the lost gallblader? Is it okay to drink PPI for Gerd? I'm learning a lot from you.thank you.
Hi Riki, in a round about way, yes, losing the gallbladder can remove half of the digestive process and reduce the ability to pull minerals out of your food. And the body needs minerals to make enough HCL. And reflux is normally caused by a LACK of stomach acid. Be sure to watch our video on acid reflux and that will give you more insights into how to correct that. Using what you learn there along with this video, can help you maximize your digestion. ruclips.net/video/ZDTUrYGVu7Q/видео.html
Yes it can. Just watched a video on it earlier.
I had a cyst in my gallbladder so it was removed. My biggest issue is I've have to take supplements now. My b12 and D are always low. Plus I'm a firm believer in probotics helping the gut. With that being said as long as i dont skip meals i have no diarrhea. But if i skip a meal or go long periods without eating it does produce diarrhea.
Here is our video about loose stools after gallbladder removal: ruclips.net/video/9_WfGSyhE2o/видео.html
Thank you so much for this extremely valuable information. You have explained it in a way I have not heard yet, especially about how to take ox bile. I love coconut oil, to fry eggs and sometimes saute veggies in and even on the spoon or on low carb toast. It's beautiful 😊 Thank you so much for the link to the free course. 💚
Glad it was helpful Anna!
Coconut oil is high fat ..even the good saturated fats hurt you if not very careful ..im no doctor but ya know.
@@mlclark11 No it's not,that's what we've been told for years but the opposite is true, there are many videos on this subject by cardiologists on youtube They have been guests on other doctor's channels such as Dr, Ken Berry. There are books and numerous studies done by cardiologists. Does do a search and you will see. That's what makes a ketogenic diet so healthy. So many health issues are improved by it.
I had my gallbladder removed in 2021. I was fine for about a year but then the chronic diarrhoea started. Didn’t matter what I ate within about 15 minutes of eating the pain began and then the diarrhoea. I spoke to my doctor after a couple of months and was sent for a colonoscopy. All was fine but further tests showed I had bile acid malabsorption. Apparently this is relatively common after gallbladder removal. My doctor prescribed cholestagel and the difference is amazing. I’m so glad I had my gallbladder removed. Honestly the pain it caused was horrendous.
thanks for sharing.
Hi! i have the same exact problem which i'm trying to figure out. Not sure if i need bile salts or not. Did the Cholestagel cause malnutrition or any other side effects? still do not know if his theory of acid not being neutralized causing the diarrhea is valid.
@@craigslstuser9no issues since taking cholestagel. I will say even missing one dose makes a huge difference.
I have bowel prolapse and my problem is constipation so maybe a little loosening of the stool following the removal of my gall bladder may be beneficial?
Hey @Mickey, I don't have much experience with that. There are other ways to loosen up a stool though.
This is not just losening.
This is uncontrollable. You will never know when and why it will happen. You can never prepare for it. Your life will revolve around it because you can't stabilise it. You will never know what will trigger the diarrhoea, and when. Whether it's eating fatty or sweet or acidy or dairy, raw or cooked, 10 minutes after eating or 2 hours, and how many times in a row you have to run a day.
As the years go buy you plan everything around toilets. Your work, your social events, your shopping,... going on longer journeys than 30 minutes have to be seriously planned long before you intend to go, to know when do you have to stop eating beforehand. And as you get older it gets worse, more frequent.
So it's not a good thing. They should mention this minor problem before or at least after they operate.
Having some intolerance, you just stop eating the thing that triggers it. But with this, you will never know.
I'm now glad that I turned down the operation to remove my Gall-Bladder...!

Do you have any thoughts/opinions on taking milk thistle supplements at bedtime when the gallbladder has been removed? I'm scheduled for surgery in the coming weeks for removing the gallbladder so i am trying to educated myself as much as possible. Thank you.
I regret having my gallbladder removed …a doctor later told me that people die with gallbladders full of stones without ever having a symptom…as the pain is caused by inflammation from food allergies. I’d recommend going to a naturopath and having a full allergy panel. I’d Put off the surgery, use digestive enzymes and milk thistle. Milk thistle (80% sylmarin) supports and protects the liver. No side effects. My naturopath had me take it 3x a day 15 minutes before meals. Digestive enzymes after eating. God bless you.
My doctor disadvised- milk thistle.
@@Fetherko Didn’t he/she say why not? I take Milk Thistle occasionally for fatty liver.
Milk thistle is a blood thinner also, so wouldn’t recommend if having surgery. 1 a yr or 6 mo to keep liver good. But if allergic to golden rod don’t take will make allergies worse.
@@marymadalenem2351 After having my gallbladder removed I suffered attacks of pain ( “gallbladder attacks”) and my liver swelled to over twice it’s natural size. The surgery caused damage to my liver. I went to a naturopath after getting to answer from the surgeon. The naturopath tested me for allergies, and gave me milk thistle EXTRACT -80% sylmarin, digestive enzymes, and other cleansing, and supporting herbs. The swelling of my liver began to resolve very quickly. You don’t want just straight milk thistle.
I have chronic diarrhea with tons of bile in the water. Great knowledge.
Me too
I found your comments about taking bile supplements after a meal interesting. It makes sense, intellectually, but looking at the bottle of bile salts I have it says to take before a meal. As a consumer, these opposing pieces of information make things very complicated. My experience with bile has been limited to one manufacturer, so I know very little about bile salts. Can you provide examples where manufacturers of bile salts corroborate your comment on timing? Thanks
Hi @Eddie Marano , no and it's so bad that many manufactures put ingredients together in the same supplement that actually cancel each out and make the supplement worthless. But keep mind that many health "experts" are making the same mistake and telling people to take ox bile with a meal. Mistakes are common. For years, we thought smoking was healthy. It happens. But I explain the timing of ox bile in more detail in this newer video here and once you watch that, it's going to make a lot more sense to you: ruclips.net/video/6EhZiBE2SBc/видео.html
