    I had my GB out a year ago, I can’t lose weight no matter what, I have always been small, now I’m 40 pounds over weight, even walking two miles a day, I’m not losing weight. Now I have under active thyroid, was told none of this before the removal, makes me not trust doctors anymore. Thanks for the video

    I am amazed how many people I talk to who have been on Proton Pump Inhibitors, PPI's for YEARS (I was on them for 30+yrs, but am finally off!) who at some point then have to have to have their gallbladder removed and then continue to have weight gain and unable to lose, severe diarrhea, Gerd and other digestive issues for the rest of the lives! (Several have then had pancreatic problems!) I know it's all related! But I'm not a doctor or a scientist.... There has got to be an answer! I know PPI's are NOT the answer to stomach acid and/or GERD! I had my gallbladder removed in 2010 and I have struggled every since! Thanks so much for this video.

I feel like I had a gastric sleeve and ate way too much so I’m in pain. I’m bloated. Constipation. Like my stomach has closed up and yells no food please. I just started taking oxbile. My doctors haven’t helped much. Where do I start. What food do I eat and avoid. Please help.

    Hi. My gallbladder had to be removed with 28 small stones inside it at the tender age of 16. I never had any real problems ever since. There is only one issue: My doc told my parents back then I might not be able to digest either eggs or grapes or raisins. Years and years have passed, I am healthy and happy, but the doc was right. Grapes and raisins are very bad for me. I tend to get pain right there, where the gallbladder used to be, if I eat them. Not a problem, I never even miss them. What could I complain about? The surgeon´s sewing skills
    ought to improve, - I can still see that tiny, thin scar.- So, pls do not worry in case your gallbladder needs to go.

    I had late-stage estrogen-triggered endometrial cancer. I survived but had a lot of radiation, both external and internal and 6 rounds of chemo. It left me with digestive issues and after a few years I had gall bladder pain and the docs took it out. 5 years later 1st stage breast cancer again estrogen triggered. Survived again, but had 5 years of estrogen suppression. I have been off that for about 1 1/2 years but now docs are saying I have developed fatty liver. Each specialist focuses on their exact area but none seem to see the big picture. It just seems to me that the estrogen issues, the lack of a gall bladder and an admittedly lousy diet, too much sugar, refined carbs, proccessed foods... I am now treating food like medicine, not entertainment but I think I need some guidance and so far not finding much help.

My body is used to eating this way for 8 years. But i have recently cleaned up my diet better this year. Lost 50+ lbs low fat moderate carbs and eliminated junk. Unfortunately my gallbladder is already messed up, so it has to go. My thyroid has always been fine and blood work good so idk how this happened 😢

      I'm not sure if it was because of IF or not. But I've been doing IF for about a year, with an average window of 16 hours. Then I started experiencing discomfort in my stomach. Finally, an internist told me to get an ultrasound. From there, it was found out that I had two fairly large stones. The doctor recommended surgery. I agreed to it. So last week, my gallbladder was removed.

    I never had pain with my gallbladder. Just threw everything i ate up. Had some tenderness on exam so they did a scan but was never actually painful at that time. Took weeks to get in for the scan, get the scan, and then get results. By then i had a very dull pain in my upper right quadrant and was so severely dehydrated i was admitted for surgery right away. Mine just failed, i never had stones. However, a few years after my surgery, that dull pain on my right upper abdomen started back up. Its been an intermittent pain for 14 years. Have intestinal symptoms. But all of my tests have been normal. Colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, all clear on auto immune disorders. Literally no answer! Im just NOW learning i should be taking ox bile all this time. Still believe i have a bit of IBS but this upper dull pain is my biggest concern. This week my entire right side rib cage was extremely tender and that was new for me. However they started feeling better in a few days so im not even sure its related lol. I get lots of bloating but my main issue is constipation with bouts of diarrhea once in awhile. Im going to try the ox bile but was wondering if anyone else has had relief from the upper dull pain using ox bile?

Urine breaks down sex hormones into their individual metabolites (unlike blood panels) so we can see the full scope of your hormones. Especially in menopause and in relation to weight gain/loss, your adrenal function, cortisol levels, detox pathways, and inflammation all have a big role to play, and the test will show us all of that as well!

    Gallbladder removed August 2020. Have IBS, GERDS and Gastroparesis. The gastroparesis prevents me from eating healthy - can't digest fiber including fruits and veggies. Some fruits give me terrible heartburn that Beano doesn't help with at all. Vitamin C gives me ulcer sores in my mouth so I avoid foods high in C and vitamins high in C. Recently added bile salts to diet but don't know yet if it will help. I am 100 pounds overweight and need to lose as much as possible. They will not operate on my spine until I lose weight. I've already had a hip replacement and a knee replacement. Other knee needs to be replaced. Unable to walk much because of ongoing knee and back pain. Suggestions on foods to eat? I'd go to a liquid diet similar to what is given via feeding tubes but it's prohibitively expensive and I'm unable to work, fighting to get on disability and am uninsured.

I found I am hypo thyroid in 2015 post-partum and my metabolism was worse while I was trying to loose weight. I manged to loose some weight throughout Later in 2019 I found I have submucosal multiple fibroids. I have had issues with digestion, slow metabolism, bloating and fatigueness. But since 2019 I am having bad cramps and heavy bloating with whatever I eat. I have also gained back some weight and no matter what I do I am finding it very difficult to loose/maintain weight. I even eliminated dairy from my diet since a year but no help.The worst time is the time when I am menstruating as the fibroids cause heavy bleeding plus heavy cramps and bloating . I am an indian and my diet includes seafoods and eggs. Can you please suggest me a good diet. Thanks

    Hi, I had my gallbladder removed surgically because I had gallstones and I was 15 at that time. But when i was diagnosed with gallstones I lost a lot of weight and got skinny, but over the years my stomach isn’t the same and gained weight overtime . I’m 17 now and been wanting to loose weight but I need help in what I should eat or do to help me loose weight at least 20 pounds. Overtime my digestive system was ok but know it’s just bad, I need help please.

    I had to have my gallbladder removed in my 30's, because it got to where every time I ate, it felt like I was being stabbed in the gut with a knife!!

    Fasting works great if you want to lose weight without a gallbladder

      No it doesn't. The constant trickle of bile makes fasting a terrible choice. The meal you eat to break your fast is poorly digested. Do you still have your gallbladder?
