Digestion Series - Basics of Bile Explained

Where else to find me:

This "Basics of Bile Explained" video explains bile and small intestine and large intestine digestion processes, timing, and gas production at each phase. We also discuss how the literature shows most IBS is related to imbalanced bile cycling. The pH in each section of the digestive tract and the resulting gases are also explained. inconsistent bowel movements are shown as a common sign of bile imbalances. At the end, we discuss how to begin to restore balanced bile and digestion. What bile is made of and how it changes stools when there is a bile imbalance are topics of discussion. When to consider emergency is also discussed. The important difference between acute and chronic pancreatitis is explained.

I am with @claudiajones - you described the past 10-15 years of my gut issues/ symptons. Life saver. I thought the gas was gastritis and never imagine my constipation was a consequence of the gas. Thanks for this educational video. It gave me answers so I can focus a protocol to target methanogens. Grateful to have found you!

[ao]

Ox bile and milk thistle are both great for liver and gallbladder disorders it helped me

[sarahjoyce]

Omg. I’m so happy I found your video! This is me at every point. I’ve lost 17 pounds and the doctors are still scratching their heads. What you recommend to someone who couldn’t take ox bile? I had a really bad reaction to it as it crossed the blood brain barrier and I have multiple sclerosis.

[vintv]

Please make a video about bile reflux gastritis.

[godisgr]

Thanks for the informative vid, Sir!
Please should the bile or the lecithin (supplements) be taken before, during or after meal? Can I take them even on an empty stomach without necessarily eating atty meals? And whether they're alkaline enough to not make stomach ulcers or gastritis worse?

[benutube]

Hi Dr Pierce. Does chronic stress play a part in all of this? I have been having stomach digestive issues which the Dr feels that stress is the main issue. Can this impact your levels or balance in the gut. And is there any general recommendations for recovering from this or supplements that could help? Thanks

[Chitownhomestead]
