In this video, we’re going to talk about gallbladder problems and prolonged fasting.

Some people experience symptoms of gallbladder issues when doing a prolonged fast.

Symptoms of gallbladder issues include:
• Gastritis
• Pain in the right shoulder area
• Pain or tightness in the area under your right ribcage
• Burping

Gallbladder issues are often related to your bile (or lack thereof).

Gallstones or gallbladder sludge develops as the concentration of cholesterol in your gallbladder increases.

When you fast or go on keto, your body releases triglycerides and cholesterol.

This causes your cholesterol to increase in your gallbladder, leading to bile sludge.

Preexisting gallbladder or liver issues, bile deficiencies, and a poor gut microbiome can cause gallstones and bile sludge.

Over time, many gallbladder issues will resolve themselves while you’re fasting and doing keto.

The best remedy for bile sludge while fasting is to take purified bile salts. This will help increase your bile and decrease the concentration of cholesterol and triglycerides.

I do two doses of bile salts in the morning and two at night for gallbladder issues.

Give this remedy a try, and let me know how it works for you in the comments below.

I was water fasting three days a week for a month. A couple weeks after first time in my life I began having right side upper back pain / gallbladder pain! Had an ultrasound of my entire abdomen. Everything was normal, no gallstones. Getting an MRI of my back I did read a book on liver & gallbladder cleanse. I learned that so many people that had normal looking scans like me, went ahead and did the gallbladder and liver cleanse. They had gallstones and kidney stones coming out afterwards I think scans may not show small gallstones or kidney stone or they are hidden and causing pain. Also saw a kinesiologist chiropractor who told me it was caused from candida overgrowth clogging my gallbladder. I'm doing that anti-candida program and. taking chanca pidera, tudca and drinking lots of water since dehydration can cause issues.

I fasting for 16 hour everyday and one hour before i eat, i drink lemon juice mix with olive oil cold pressed, because i had gallstones also before.. or drink red coconut water (Cocos nucifera rubescens) (if you stay in tropical area). My gallstones is gone now without surgery.

Ive been having a ton of trouble staying hydrated during prolonged fasting and maintaining my magnesium levels. I thought that my liver was in trouble because of the pain that i was experiencing, I happen to have glycine and turine powder on hand. With a little more understanding of how my body works from these videos, I upped my electrolytes and i believe that i am one step closer to better health. thank you

I was diagnosed with Gall bladder disorder and my cholesterol was 9.4 mmol/L normal is around 5.0-5.4. After 3 months of taking bile salts everyday with a meal, plus in the mornings and night on an empty stomach, my cholesterol came down to a 5.6. This shows that some with high cholesterol may only be having a bile deficiency and can successfully reduce their cholesterol simply with bile salts.

It’s 3:48am and I was awakened by gallbladder pain…I am 27 hrs into my first ever water fast and I got scared 😮but this video just saved me from quitting my FAST. Let me order from you Dr. Berg you’re the best ever. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤

[chuckbecker]

This is the most valuable video for extended fasts I have ever seen. We must remain subscribed to this channel.. This is pure gold.

I have 5 years on the right side pain after meal..than i have show dr berg videos..i do fasting..not breakfast..and i tako sometimes cholin..I dont have pain anymore..its unbeliveable..thank you dr berg..

Out of the blue - in April 2020, I developed chronic burping, but no other gallbladder symptoms. I also noticed that the burping got worse toward the end of my fasting period. However, I persisted and can report that the burping is 60% better - though not completely gone. During the rest of 2020, I lost 103 pounds of body-weight and I knew that this had to help in the long run. I did have scan on my gallbladder in late 2020, but everything seemed normal - though I reckon that keto and fasting for many months may have helped to 'heal' this issue - so the scan results may have been skewed somewhat.
I shall try the bile salts, because if the occasional burping thing goes away, it might be the final push that my gallbladder requires.
Thanks for the upload.

This concerns me as well, as a sufferer from gallstones. Thanks Dr Berg.

I just did a 48h fast from Sunday to Monday n had horrible pain in my right side. I knew it had to do with the liver or gallbladder. This video came at the perfect time! Now I can do it again n not be in pain. Thank you so much!

I was totally trying to figure out why this happened to me. After a certain period I'd get an intense cramp in my rib cage. I though it was gas but it didn't make sense. Thanks so much! Now I know what to do!

[c.morales]

Exactly what I am having right now, thank you, now you gave me an answer to my question, I am going to continue 72 hours every other week with my biles too. The only ways is the way through!

Benefits galore Dr.Berg!
Apart from a 22-pound weight loss over the past 6-7 months, my health has greatly improved. No more leaky bladder, no burping, no stomach pains, no trouble sleeping and no puffy ankles!
My energy has risen a lot and my mood has improved too. My metabolism is definitely on the right track to overcome my
long term insulin resistance. I have followed your advice with Intermittent fasting and ketogenic nutritional foods. No seed oils or processed foods and no bad grains or starches and no sugary fruits or veggies and no cookies or sugar laden foods. Basically, only whole organic foods and essential supplements along with milk thistle for liver detox and proper vitamin and mineral supplements. I also began taking Magnesium glycenate and cleared up leg cramps and constipation. WHO KNEW? Thank you ✨️
Thank you! I am 74 years old and looking forward to a good quality of life in my "Golden Years " ❤
PS. Only a couple more pounds to my goal weight of 111 pounds. ✨️😘

I needed to hear this like 20 years ago. Very good advice! Gallbladder surgery scheduled for next week.

[manjolaskendo]

The most important advice to apply on fasting, both intermittent and prolonged(over 24h)!!!

[ybe]

By the way someone mentioned Chanca Piedra on here for breaking stones. It changed my life. I believe it was a big factor in stopping GB attacks.

[SunitaEngira]

I just started intermittent fasting 3 days ago by listening to Dr Berg. and was worried about getting a gallstone attack and I did because I have gallbladder issue. Thank god for this video. I have already been taking dr. Berg’s gallbladder formula now I will take 2 times a day. Thank you Dr. Berg.

Pain, ,right shoulder, neck, pain over the head and right eye, pain down the right side leg to and right toe next one in to the big toe theses are all gallbladder stone related so will high blood pressure as well .
Gallbladder attacks will be hot+cold, shivering, high blood pressure and poss heart rate up and constipation and rashes on body or face same as dermatitis..

Top tip if u have any theses come straight off sugar, drink more water and look at your stomach acid levels 1st then get a scan on your gallbladder go from there 😊

[JuliaApostolopoulou]

You rock Dr. Berg. The planet is blessed to have you <3

[odysodys]

Very important organ. Take every precaution possible to protect your gallbladder. The hospitals and surgeons are eager to remove it and understand nothing of the consequences.
