Had what was called sludge in my gallbladder and let dr take it out with getting no warning about possible issues including severe stomach pain, dry skin and vision issues. Wish I would have known the truth before hand. Thank you Dr Berg for helping us with these problems.
I’ve known this “innately” for over 25 years - just based on the symptoms u sited - since having my gall bladder removed in 1995. You are the first doctor, in all these years, to acknowledge the truth. No offense to u personally, but my experience has convinced me that doctors are just politicians with scalpels. I keep my distance now.
I had mine in 1995 too. I was so sick for about 18 months post-op. At a class reunion I was telling a friend of mine about it & she said I needed to tell her husband about it. He is a surgeon. So I did & he immediately said I had “post chole syndrome & wrote me a script for Questran. Changed my life. However the effect gradually wore off & I ,until the past year, suffered with IBS-D. I was diagnosed with a rare cancer & went through treatment & major surgery which somehow affected my symptoms & I haven’t had any issues since. My last CT showed my fatty liver has resolved. Looking back I don’t think I needed a chole. The stones were found during an related test & the doctor said I should have them removed so I did. Big mistake.
Over 20 years ago, a doctor wanted to remove mine. Without running any tests. He wanted to remove it, because I said I wasn't sleeping well. I realized he was up to no good by intuition. I still have my gallbladder today. No regrets.
@Fred Champion not so much the bad doctors but the training they have received for their profession through their education is a reflection of the medical system at large.
You are so right, something is not right! 100%👏. My mother and sister are witches, and they cursed me. I didn't find this out until it was too late, and I nearly died. What I have learnt is PRAY TO GOD about every sickness before you go to the lieing doctors. ✔ I left my family, and so happy now, and I truly believe in JESUS AND GOD KNOW. Thankyou GOD.💖💖
@@ROCKOLA79 No there are the devils😈 soilders out there mate. My mum and sister are witches, and guess what trade they are in. "Nursing and disability care.😳" I am in another country now thanks to GOD.✝️ When a person is a witch or a wizard, I ask myself, how many lives they have destroyed in turning poor souls into disability or killed? Its frigging scary that thought. They hurt me, friend, jealousy and hate are there eyes and heart. I prayed for justice as it says in the BIBLE and leave revenge up to GOD.
I had my gall bladder removed 20 years ago & was so relieved, as the pain I was suffering in the end was the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. I haven’t had any issues, but I did change my diet. Thank you for the info.
My sister had her gallbladder removed, her doctor said she'd be fine without it and never told her about any side effects. She is now in poor health, with such bloating and digestive issues that she looks like she's carrying triplets (she's now 58!). I'm sharing this important info with her. Thank you.
I’m sorry about your sister what she’s going through! I’m curious on this though did your sisters health start going down after having her gallbladder removed? also as you brought up digestion issues and bloated on a side note perimenopause menopause can cause us women so many problems and there’s over 100 symptoms and digestion is a big one woman get and bloating that’s why I’m curious! I hope your sister is getting better 🤍
I have the same problem. Doctors did not know educate about the future health problems or discuss life style changes needed to incorporate because i no longer had a gall bladder.
I had my gallbladder removed ten years ago. I was told to not eat spicy or greasy foods. And that was it. I am now 2 months short of 70 years old. Three years ago I started having problems with severe bloating and belching. I was so swollen that I got new stretch marks and could barely fit into my elastic waisted skirts and slacks. When I went to my doctor he told me it was just Irritable Bowel Syndrome and to eat more fiber, which was the worst thing I could've done as I was already eating a high fiber, low fat diet and had been for many years. Eventually the pain became so severe that I went to the ER. After running some tests and finding nothing, they referred me to a gastroenterologist. Through further tests and medical history it was discovered I had SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). I was treated for that. It cleared up, and I felt like a new person. But two years later it is back. I am now doing the bile salts and intermittent fasting regime. It is not completely healed, but I am doing a WHOLE lot better. Ask your sister if she has been tested/treated for SIBO. The difference is like day and night. A good way to tell if she has it is if she eats and then 60 to 90 minutes later the belching and bloating starts.
I have been advised to have my porcelain gallbladder removed. I have a huge fear of hospitals. Can anyone give me any advice for this condition please? I was told it was best to have surgery due to possible gallbladder cancer. From what I’ve read from recent test the risk is only minimal. Please can anyone help?
Sorry, but had my gall bladder taken out over twenty years ago. Best decision after suffering horrible pain and discomfort for years. Up to now, no problems thankfully.
Rita i mine removed 40years ago because i had a very large amount of stones my life has never changed i eat meat every day have never changed my diet i weight 90km stand 1.8 I'm 77years old and very active it depends on a person's make up and attitude listen to your body it will tell you how you are a lot of people dwell on ailments be strong !!! D o n t !!! Give in🤠🤠🇭🇲
@@jackbarrie6007 I agree totally with your assessment of the situation Jack. My wife had hers removed in an emergency operation 40 years ago, and nary any issues connected since. I'm quiet puzzeled as to why so many folks on here seem to all have issues with their removals.
I was rushed to the hospital and admitted. After a battery of tests, my gallbladder was basically a rotten piece of meat and I had gone septic without presentment of jaundice. The bad part, I stood a good chance of dying. I was knocked out with pain meds and antibiotics pumped in me to fight off infection. On the third day they operated without cutting me wide open surviving the surgery. That was 2013, made a full recovery and have had no problems since. My doctor discussed diet and how it will affect me and I will know what I can and can’t eat.. insofar, been lucky to eat normal and enjoy food.
My gallbladder was removed and I even asked the doctors do I need to supplement and they said no I was told nothing and I have been experiencing all these symptoms! Now I know why and what to do . Thank you Dr Berg.
I'm continually wondering WHY people allow Dr's to simply tell them they need their gall bladder removed without supporting diagnosis . W.T.F. is going on here ? WHY are you people allowing these pricks to boss you around ?
I heard the same thing. However, if it wasn't removed quickly, I would have died. It made me so sick. I had pancreatitis along with that, I was jaundiced and had another infection on top of it all.
@@lavenderkisses6031 I know dear, I too have hadso many problems, all to do with my stomach ..I have a hyatil hernia , I have to watch what I eat ...I noticed that food doesn't digest as fast or fully.... and I am getting older (62) believe me everything slows down..I hope we all get a Dr that heals us and truly cares that we get better...in JESUS NAME I 🙏♥️💥
Dr Berg you are a treasure. Seventeen years ago my very sick gallbladder caused an abscess on my pancreas which led to a domino of terrible effects. Forty-five days in the hospital after surviving from encephalopathy and gallbladder excision I went home to recover. But now I have all those problems with my liver and digestive system. But no one has given me any actionable information on what I can do to help my liver. But every year the list of medications grows longer. Thank you so very much for the information packed videos you make and for the additional information you provide so we can follow up and go deeper. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Yet!!! Depends how long it’s been since you had it removed had mine removed two years ago no problems then suddenly bang can’t drink alcohol makes you feel sick reflux acid came up and into my airwaves during my sleep woke up not able to breath nearly killed me !doctors at the hospital said it was like drinking battery acid !!!couldn’t breathe !! it was the acid reflux from food not breaking down the food! Can’t take much milk ice cream bread everything has to be a tiny amount of pain it’s just like the gallbladder is still there ! Hope it’s ok for u but he warned and careful x
I went through a Whipple surgery last year and part of that surgery was removal of my gallbladder, I have no problems with it since, I was just told to eat small meals and eat often every 2 to 3 hours, the hardest part for me is, eating every 2 to 3 hours, I eat every 5 hours approximately, because I'm never hungry.
@@lillieiliff3639 It was years later until I had major problems and then they came. Now, 24 years later they are hell. It caused my type 2 Diabetes and life has never been the same. So here I am seeking information from Dr. Berg.
Thank you. Had my gall bladder out in ‘94. They told me I could eat anything now. Boy were they wrong. Wish I never had it taken out. Thanks Dr Berg for telling us how to deal with it!!!
It would have been really nice to know about this 20 years ago when I was 7 months pregnant with my third son. Never had any problems until one night I was in excruciating pain. Went to ER, started throwing up bile an was told I needed emergency gall bladder removal. Said it it was common in woman with multiple pregnancies and I “didn’t need it”. No one ever said, hey you should take bile salts now or you may feel XYZ symptoms. Only just leaned this from Dr Berg. Since doing Keto I go to the restroom like a normal person, I don’t burp in public, awkward, and I don’t feel bloated after a meal. Thanks Dr Berg! Oh and p.s. I’ve lost 20 lbs! 😁
That's exactly why I'm here I'm almost 9 months pregnant had an attack about a month ago went to the ER and they told me I had gallstones now the doctor wants to make an appointment ASAP to take my Goldstone bladder out now I'm debating if I should even do it I know it's all for the insurance money they found two small stones in there what do you recommend I don't want to have it removed to have a whole shitload of problems!!!!!
I was 22 i was pregnant with my first child I was four months pregnant that I had my first gallbladder attack and it continued during my pregnancy and I had an emergency surgery after my baby was born and nobody gave me no directions or information I have been suffering from all the symptoms that doctor is explaining please let me know if you are taking bile salt I’m thinking about taking it I have been living without a gallbladder for 24 years now.
@@nadiahusseini7247 about 20 years without a gall bladder here. Have started taking bile salts on an empty tummy. Also trying DAO. I have a lot of food allergies.
Twelve years ago I was told my gall bladder was diseased and needed to be removed. I immediately said no. Was told the gall bladder never heals when it is at that point. A bit over a year later, new tests showed my gall bladder was okay. I had changed my diet, and also changed the facility that had tested me because the doctor often does what the lab tells him to do ... and it is my firm belief that some of the interpreting doctors at the labs easymode everything. So, when getting a ''second opinion'' on surgeries, do make sure that includes a second lab. I don't know if in my case that that was the real difference, or the dietary changes, but the moral of the story is: don't be too hasty, take some time to look around and talk to others, and let your body heal itself.
So true. Most science today is Dark Ages junk science. I read articles on Google that once your hair goes gray, you can't recover your old hair color. That is soooo false. My gray hair recolored itself after three years when I dramatically changed my diet.
I just had my gallbladder out last Saturday in an emergency surgery. They didn't say as much, but for as long as most people are waiting for surgery right now, I'm pretty sure it was about to burst, fail, go septic, whatever. This first week of recovery has been rough, but knowing how bile and the various fats work helps. I started an ox bile supplement the day before yesterday, and that has helped tremendously.
As a cholecystectomy patient and retired RN I find this video excellent. I did not know about all the digestive problems after surgery or the inability to digest certain fats. I have suffered from indigestion, bloating, belching etc for years. I just started taking bile salts with excellent results. I feel so much better! Thank you so very much.
I wish I'd known more before having my gb removed. I also wish they would share this info you shared so we're not struggling with the consequences years later.
I haven t either but it Pisses me off my Dr didn't answer my questions like this when I asked since I wasn't haven t problems to begin with. He just told me at my age (65) I would eventually need to have it taken out more or less so i may as well do it now. I think if you have good insurance it becomes a racket for these doctors. My Dr makes thousands per patient and does surgery once a week on nothing but gall bladder patients. When I went in for my check up he never opened my file when I asked how mine looked. Told me he didn't remember, he does so many of them. And this guy practices at a "reputable" hospital.

Great vid, Dr. my wife had hers out a few years ago, and it has delivered some grief to her. This is good info I will pass along. You are truly a youtube treasure Dr. I am definitely a fan!💫
I’m having my gall bladder removed tomorrow. I’ve had a lot of years of gas and bloating with cramps. I hope this helps. Your vid is great for the oils I’ll need afterwards. I’m 61 now. So I hope this helps and not make it worse.
My gall bladder was badly infected and was removed two years ago, now I am suffering all those things you mentioned. Thank you for all of your videos. I will take your advise.
This video was so helpful! What’s really amazing to me is that I messaged you The other day saying that I had my gallbladder removed over 40 years ago. Thank you for clearing up the misunderstanding I had. A few years ago I read Information that had me believe my liver would provide enough bile to replace my gallbladder.
Yes, this is vital information that people like myself that had gallbladder surgery. Since then I cannot tolerate certain fats or oily foods on top of other kinds of symptoms mentioned in video. Worth taking notes as you watch to help you make changes for the better. Thanks for making this information known to the suffering people. 👍
Can you tell me pls where the pain was and what it felt like? I'm trying to see if I should get mine out. My pain is on the side where gallbladder and liver are. I do know my gallbladder is full of stones and I do pass them and it kills my gallbladder area a few days before they pass. I don't want to get it out and then realize I didn't need to
The removal of my gallbladder was not up for discussion, my pancreas had stopped working. It was do or die, literally. I take your gallbladder support and it ended my constipation I also do not feel bloated after my OMAD. Thank you Dr. Berg.
I’ve been constipated since I was a child and I’ve had my gallbladder removed along with RNY gastric bypass and I’m STILL constipated. Ugh 😑 What is something I can take to get things digesting correctly? I am currently taking....1600 my magnesium, 15 billion in probiotics, psyllium husk 2 am 2 pm, 1000 grams omega 3.....I’m open to anything that makes me poop.
thank you for telling me about bile salts I had my gallbladder removed when I was 30 I am now 57 I thank God for healing me by using you as a angel I was so constipated I felt like I was going to die that you keep helping people love you with all my ❤️ thank you Jesus Christ for healing me!!
I had my gallbladder removed after my daughter was born and have had severe stomach issues ever since because no one shared this info with me... Thank you Dr. Berg for all the ppl like me that u have helped. I've ALSO lost 28 lbs on your keto...thank you from the bottom of my heart 💜❤️
I think this was very needed to know info. I know someone who had that surgery, which is solely why I watched, to pass it on to her, in case she's not aware of this. I can't imagine a hospital not giving you this info, it's sickening, it really is. What are they looking for a repeat surgery, this time its the liver. That is not looking at the total well-care health of the patient, pre-surgery. Years ago I had a different type surgery, and I did have good doctors, and nurses. Upon leaving they gave me a complete list, of things to avoid, things like food that were best, and other aftercare things. It's like I appreciated that list, as much as the surgery. I was glad to have them. I follow doctor's orders because they know more in that field than I do, and so I followed that list, and was healed. I commend my hospital for giving that needed info out. And the same should be for gallbladder, instead of sending them home, clueless, of what to avoid, and get sick. That defeated the purpose of what they came for. "First do no harm", is the doctor's oath.
I have so many family and friends that had their gallbladder removed and they all have issues of being constipated all the time. I'm glad that you made this video explaining why they are so thank you.
Your body needs bile to breakdown fats and lipids that you consume. All you need is a bile supplement with your meals which you can purchase at Meijer/walmart for under $10.00.
I had my gall bladder containing one small gallstone removed in 1962 when I was 14 years old and was initially told I would probably have to be on a fat less diet for life but as I progressed very well this was revoked and I’ve never had any kind problems or health issues. I take a small mg of cholesterol medication which keeps it at a steady 5 - 6 I’m now 73 and eat healthily and enjoy a wide variety of food.
I was in the emergency room years ago for an incredible pain. They removed my gall bladder and ive had so many problems with my health because of it. Most of it has been pancreatitis. I have the biggest and juciest eye bags i have ever had.I wish i would have known this back then. A friend of mine developed pancreatic cancer after her gall bladder was removed. I tried the keto diet and had uncontrollable diarrhea. I was dehydrated so much, my spine was hurting and my muscles were tired and cramping. This is great advice. Thank you for the series. I'm so glad Ive subscribed.
I noticed when I went out on a whole food diet and stayed away from processed foods it cleared up a lot of my IBS irritable bowel syndrome and gallbladder issues
This was the first time I have ever been aware Of things I should have known when my gallbladder was removed. You explain some of the issues I had. Although oh, on my own I started taking omega-3 Krill fish oil because it was good for me. I still just want to throw my hands in the air when you talk about some of the oils that need extra help breaking down. It's so exhausting ihealth heart health Liver Health adrenal health. Oh my gosh it's just so much to take in. And now discovering that there are a lot of other herbs that I need to take to have better health. Finances are an issue when it comes to trying to buy and take everything else my body is supposed to need. Trying to Be watchful and listen to things that I need to be aware of for my Better Health. Nevertheless your videos, when I do watch them have always been helpful. God bless you for the work that you do and information that helps.
@Heloise, I appreciate your input. With my concerns right now about Hasimots/autoimmune. Nettles is good. What else can you enlighten me with herbs & hasimoto? Thanks you for sharing your knowledge.🍃🙏🌸🙏🍃
I'm a teacher and your presentation style and delivery are very good. The content is organized and concise. You might want to consider 1.) Writing a bit bigger in block letters 2.) using two different marker colors to make it easier to see the information on the board. I'm learning a lot from you and I say thank you.
I took vegetable supplements for 2 weeks and the gallbladder attacks perfectly stopped. The doctors and nurses kept recommending surgery and getting high pressure about it. One gave me a gloomy prediction. All I needed was two weeks of vegetable pills to dissolve the gallstones.
@@stephaniewallace225 I had the same experience, only with me it was my thyroid. They wanted to kill my thyroid with radioactive iodine and the more I looked into that, the less I wanted to have that. Plus, as they kept telling me I would need to be on medication till I die as I would no longer have a thyroid. Thank goodness I never gave up and found a holistic dr who saw me through without killing my thyroid. That was 15 years ago
This topic is how I found you! I was going down fast after about five years without my gallbladder! Teeth and bones deteriorating, deep depression overall malaise....I was eating well, taking all my vitamins, but alas all my fat soluble supplements were for naught! I have no doubt this saved me from a long drawn out and painful death! Not a single healthcare (I use the term loosely) person mentioned the loss of gallbladder or connected any of the dots! I need to mention, my first improvements were from simply adding your Gallbladder Formula...the other steps came later, after I began to feel human again and like I actually might have a life worth living 😊
I had mine removed 14 years ago. I wasn’t told it would cause any issues. But then I discovered that I would get terrible pain where the gallbladder used to be.
Stephanie Bogart. Same thing happened to me. Discovered scar tissue from surgery. It can be horrible pain for about a minute. It happens when I twist to my right when I reach for something. Don't forget there is a metal staple used to close the duct. It catches on the tissue. Lots of deep breathing and pressing on that area helps me. Wish I had known about alternative methods to having it removed. Clean eating also helped with the aftermath of diarrhea. Processed foods overwork the body.
Robin W my acid reflux increased after surgery. When my gastroenterologist would not return my calls his office staff recommended a proton inhibitor. I was already taking one and wanted to get rid of my medication. My body wasn't handling it anymore. So I went to a naturepathic doctor who tested my blood (the only way to know what is happening to the body at that point in time). The tests and results were extensive. And your primary doctor won't do these types of tests. She changed my life and tailored a program for me according to my blood work and recommended 'clean eating". To eat real food, nothing out of a box, bag or tin can. No processed foods. No additives. The digestive issues disappeared. The timing was right since my body had been fighting all the garbage I had been eating for years, primarily sugar. Eating Fake food also affected my sleep. Now I eliminated all my medication and have more energy. Perhaps you will give this some thought.
Thank You for being the Doctor who explain's what we need after GB removal. Most people don't know to ask after surgery, then it's too late! You are like Superman rescuing all of us! Thank You Dr. Berg 🙏
My Younger Brother had GB removed has Stage 3 GB Cancer...is now on Chemo/Radiation....I Sure Pray for More info to help Him!! Thank-You for putting your Videos Out Here 4 Us !! Even for just "General Info"!! God Bless You, and ALL Whom You Love, Vaya con Dios, Doc!!
Thank you for sharing! I think conventional doctors are too quick to jump on the removal of the gallbladder when there are other natural things that can be done to cleanse it and thus alleviate many of the problems. Thank you for pointing these things out.
Ceil Constante No they are Not, we as patients have the right to question Drs as much as we have to , to feel comfortable and make a decision for our own health. Too bad I was only 22 when they removed my gallbladder and they didn’t give me any other option. That’s why I don’t trust Drs a 💯 %.
Amen No code for insurance company..no pay have a pill No health care Prevent sickness That is why if yoy CHOOSE a Doctor of Osteopathy most insurance will not cover them and you must pay out of pocket Interesting ..I was in hospital in 4/20 and the times before They would NEVER give me my vitamins and minerals But in April the Hospitalist was a D.O..she gave me ALL My Vitamins and minerals I listed that I took A miracle
Amen to that! I’ve been to two doctors who tell me I must have my gb taken out. When they tell me it isn’t needed or when I ask about the risks of not having it, they actually get pissed & one, a gastroenterologist, told me that the problems I might have are nothing compared to not have it removed. Like, what kind of answer is that! Of course I went prepared with typed out notes & questions, which she could not even answer. Why do so many medical doctors act like they are gods who must never be questioned?
I had my gallbladder bladder removed in the 1980s so always wondered what the long term effects might be since no one ever mentions that. This is exactly what I've needed.
I died for a minute or two during the death and rupture of my gal bladder. I became septic, ran a 106 fever and had full peritonitis. My common duct also required a rebuild. Damaged due to a side effect of a anti tumor drug. Lost 64 lbs but survived. Hard surgery.
Love your video had a gallbladder attack about 30 years ago ended up in the hospital Friday night. Saturday morning surgeon came to see me told me would do surgery Monday morning. By then pain is gone I asked for the med to break up since I had receive meds in Puerto Rico. Dr. lied said it don't exist. Then I told him about it. The Dr. lied again, however, I had planned that I was not going to allow no operations when I was admitted. therefore I lied also. The surgeon threw a fit when I said no operation and in a fit of anger the surgeon yelled in front of everyone there " how the hell am I going to make money? Well this should tell you something people. By the way, he told me nothing about this. but I asked him and he lied again. said it was a lie. So far I have all my organs but my tonsils.
Good for you! I wish I were that strong!I'm glad I still have all my organs so far! Only surgery so far has been on my nose for double hematoma. Hoping I don't need hernia/prolapse surgery. Trying to heal it with Keto, IF, topical comfrey among other astringents and vulneraries, & a bit of additional collagen supplement.
@@annettemorrison7737 Gall bladder or no we all have our kidneys to protect. There are ways to deal with kidney stones that Dr Berg will tell you will also apply to gall bladder stones.
Sad issue is the gall bladder does not need removal I did reading on this before mine was I was away from home at the time..I believe if I waz home I would not have had mine removed Can research this
I love your platform. I've been seen the same doctors for years. they do not break anything down to me . they really don't care. LOL things that I find on UA-cam are very helpful. I show them to my doctor. they have the most silliest look on their face keep up the good work!
My Mother-in-law has suffered from these symptoms for over 50 years, severely reducing her quality of life and causing so much upset that she can barely even talk about her discomfort or disctress. Intuitively, she senses something went wrong after surgery, but she is too ashamed to investigate her digestive issues any further. So she suffers in silence. It’s so sad. I will share this video with other family members. Maybe it will help. 🙏🏻
No one told me this. I have been Dealing with constipation and digestive problems for five years no one told me it was because I had my gallbladder out they tell me it’s all in my head
Hi Dr. Berg, I feel like you have not produced a definitive video about DISSOLVING or eliminating Gallstones to prevent surgery. I am taking the Gallbladder Formula, ACV liquid, Betaine HCL and soon will be taking beta tcp, and Phosfood Phosphorus. I think a video that focuses on how to dissolve stones would be critical to avoid surgery that you have advised against. please offer your unique knowledge on ridding ourselves of the stones. Thank you!
@@jetsetter8541 i wouldn't recommend that as it's too risky. there 70% chance Gallstone will get stuck on the common bile duct and cause you more trouble
My gall bladder was removed 25 years ago with no ill effects, however I have felt nauseous for the last 5 years after breakfast. I took your advice and take a bile supplement and the nausea has gone
Very helpful information. I had my gall bladder removed 24 years ago. Greasy foods pass right through me. I now know what foods to stay away from based on your video. Of course I was never told any of these things when my gall bladder was removed. Thank you for the education.
It is important to know that stones can be reversed or managed. I have lots of stones and my doctor said I’d die if I didn’t have my gallbladder removed. I’ve been pain free on keto using the Digest Aid and Gallbladder Formula. I asked the tech who did the sonogram and he told me the walls hadn’t thickened and the pancreas looked good. Try diet changes before removing it. I know the pain of a gallbladder attack is excruciating, but the lifelong concerns of not having one are worse. Plus without an organ there is added stress on the rest of the body.
I follow Dr Berg’s healthy keto and intermittent fasting. I do 1-2 meals a day. I haven’t found any healthy fats that I can’t eat. I do try to support my liver with cabbage, beet greens, dandelion greens, etc. He has a video on supporting liver function.
Thank you Love all your videos! Very informative!! I had mine removed in 2001 and I wish I hadn’t nothing but problems with exactly what you described... The most healthy I ever felt was being vegetarian... 💕 your work!!!
I had no idea what the consequences were when my gallbladder was removed. Unfortunately, because I had cancer I didn't have a choice. But, glad I'm learning what to do now to improve my health
My daughter had her gallbladder removed in her earlier years and now is very heavy. She's in her 40s now. I'm sending this video to her. I think she may find it helpful. I'm 67 & still have mine & have no problems as I eat lemons and ACV. Not together.
I had mine removed 10 years ago. When I was eating carbs I had a hard time with fats. More than two pieces of Bacon and I was sick. Now that I am on a high fat diet and very few carbs I don't have a problem eating a pound of bacon if I wanted to. It took 2 or 3 weeks, but I seem to have adapted to the higher fats. I don't know why, but it's working out for me so I am sticking with whats working.
No, I feel great and I don't have a problem with the fats and I am loosing weight. So I am not going to add anything to the recipe. I am off insulin, metformin, and 4 blood pressure meds. In fact I am off all prescription meds now.
Had my gallbladder taken out 30 years ago, for over 10 years I was n constant pain, it was full of rocks, today I have some problems when eating spicy, hot, or some fast foods, thanks for the video, good information
I’ve been following a ketogenic way of eating for 2.5 years. 90 pounds down, HgA1C 5.3, goal weight, etc. 6 months ago my LFTs were sky high-ALT was 1,169 and AST was 88. No alcohol or drugs. Gallbladder was highly inflamed. Post cholecystectomy, LFTs have returned to normal and my ketogenic way of life is still the best!
Thank you. My health became an issue starting in 1994, at age 39.Brain aneurysm, stroke, hypertension, gallbladder. type 2 diabetes, I'm in my 60s now and taking more meds than I ever thought possible.I'm taking as many natural health supplements and vitamins as anything prescribed by my dr. and I research everything. I like having resources to know what's really going on in my body. Thank you so much.
Love this video. Actually just watched an old video of yours about the bumps on my arm and picked up some cod liver oil today. Then I see this. I had my gallbladder removed at 18 and I’m 37. I am on borage, krill, and cod now and taking bile salts.
I think a follow-up video that talks about keeping the gall bladder healthy would be extremely helpful. I turn 52 next month, and since May 2018 have now lost 53 pounds (from 218.5 lbs to 165.4 lbs, and your channel has been instrumental in helping me achieve that). As far as I know, my gall bladder is working fine, but I have suffered kidney stones twice in the past, and want to lessen the chances of similar stones developing in my gall bladder that might inspire its surgical removal. What steps can I take, what foods can I consume and avoid, to help keep my gall bladder in good health?
Very informative didn't notice any real issues after gall bladder removal until I got much older now I have all the issues that you mentioned why don't doctors tell you what to expect, when any surgery is done Thank you for doing this.
@@sharonwelch2330 But not just plain apple cider vinegar works! It MUST be the "raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar" used, for ANY "HEALTH benefits". The pure raw unfiltered has some murky stuff floating around the base of the jar of acv, & it needs to be all shook up together before using it, to get the health benefits!
Had mine removed in 2006 and was told at the time that it was something that is "surplus to requirements". They screwed up the removal, giving me sepsis from which I nearly died. Lucky for me the only long term effects were a triple stroke, causing permanent disability :-/ Had I known at the time that I'd still be on medication for the rest of my life, I'd have told them to sod off ! Been on a keto/LCHF diet for about 2 months now really seem to be feeling the benefits :)
Stupid facking doctors! "Sepsis" is so very simple to halt and reverse by natural means it's silly. They basically only know how to push pills and cut, burn, & sew!
Same happened to me. They cut my bile duct resulting in sepsis that almost killed me. Until then, I had zero health problems. If I knew then what I know now....
@@Catlady77777 I did indeed, they were the only ones that made anything from it though as according to them, no matter how deep they looked they couldn't find any actual negligence. They put it down to a very unlucky "stroke" of misfortune. Despite getting M.R.S.A. and them "dropping" a bag-full of Gallstones inside me, they did everything by the book apparently. It happens, but your body can usually dissolve them, but mine didn't for some reason. Regarding the M.R.S.A. that too is "acceptable" as long as they do everything by the expected standards, it's just seen as a hazard of the environment. I survived long enough to welcome my first grandchild, which is the main thing 😊
I love that you make all these short vids for people to explain different things about our bodies. This was a good one... they are all very informative and I learn a lot from them.
I had my gallbladder removed42 years ago.. considering the mind blowing agonizing pain before the procedure, if I had been told about these problems, I would have still went ahead with it.
Had my surgery five days ago and I'm doing pretty good. I want to mention something that I have never read before in all of these videos about what can take place after the surgery. For my first 3 days anything I drank anything I ate went right through me has diarrhea. In those three days I went to the bathroom maybe 25 times. Unfortunately no one told me that was a possibility and it freaked me out. This was the first day I was able to get food down and it stayed down so just be aware this possibility. I've also experienced pretty much all the other side effects that have been mentioned and other videos. This is not a picnic peeps. It's at least three days of hell.... but it will end.
Hello. We hope that are in better condition now. If you are still having problems, you can try Dr. Berg's gallbladder formula. That's a very good source of bile salt. We recommend that to people who had their gallbladder removed. You will find here the product: shop.drberg.com/gallbladder-formula -Dr. Berg's Support Team
Also get back to GOD. Because there is stuff going on you can't see, and I can. I mean it! They feed off your energy. Use your womb for breeding for 3 weeks. Just pray friend. Ask Holy Archangel Michael to protect you 24/7 in the name of GOD. PRAY and ask GOD to tell you or show you the truth. Ask for healing too.
@Lee Roush 🆘️👉You are very wrong, in the name of "JESUS CHRIST!" I ask my guardian Angel for help, and I get it. Try it friend. I cannot open some jars, or I have lost something I ask my Holy Angels and the saints for help in the name of JESUS CHRIST. Thanks be to GOD, you have learnt something.✝️👍💖 It works.
Unfortunately for me, I was in excruciating pain and they rushed me to the hospital back in Dec 2009. After 5 days in the Hospital with tubes down my nose and throat and numerous tests,they figured out it was my gallbladder. I had no choice but to have it removed as it was diseased and no longer working,so I was told. I've had problems ever since it was removed. I have bloating, diarrhea and or constipation and pain when I eat, no matter how small the meal. I have numerous health issues now at 59. About 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with liver disease (Nash) that a CT scan with contrast discovered. I have been eating healthy for the last 5 years and over the last year, I really have no appetite. I only eat one meal a day (healthy meal), and take bile salts, liver supplements and vitamins. It's a constant struggle for me so those of you that had your gallbladder removed and are enjoying life, consider yourself lucky.
Thank you for the video! You explained why I'm having the symptoms Dr's have made my feel guilty for not taking better care of myself!! A couple years ago I was diagnosed with fatty liver disease, Vitamin D different, bloating, constipation, Thyroid dease & my kidneys were not functioning as well as they should. I was asked by a Dr. If all I ate was fatty food's. No infact I was eating healthy, no fried food . No fast food. The Dr. gave me no advice on what to do. So I want home & 1 thing I did do that seemed to help was every morning I made a quart jar of water, a third of a cup of apple cider vinegar and honey. I drank it through out the day. I also cut out white sugar, and most carbs & salt. A year later my liver was normal & my kidneys also. I lost 20 lbs.
Thanks Dr Berg. Ive been struggling for years. Now I follow a low fodmap diet, but i still have problems with digestion. I will look cod liver oil which my grandmother gave me as a kid. I thought i had to stay away from oils. Thanks again!
It was a decent public service video that anyone considering gall bladder removal should have a listen. Some folks tend to trust everything a Dr. tells them. And many are positively clueless about consequences. I felt it was a straightforward message reasonably short and to the point without using Latin for explaining issues. The point of the message I presume is to prepare for the consequences and if the consequences are worse opt out. Look for a healthy diet to correct gall bladder issues. Not always an option but the best option is to control with diet and exercise.
You are right they took out my gall bladder and said nothing. Now I am fighting Pancreatic cancer. They put a stint in my liver to open it up. But and rapidly learning how to take better care of liver, kidneys and pancreas and combining as many cancer fighting ingredients in my foods. Am feeling better and looking better than a month ago. Thanks for your help.😊❤
So helpful! I had my gallbladder removed in an emergency surgery and had less than 8 hrs to think about my options...and honestly they made it sound like do or die...Ive always wanted to know how itd affect a keto diet.
Keto caused my wife’s gallbladder to become inflamed. After several weeks the Dr. determined it was an enlarged bladder. She was in Septic shock when she was finally admitted. Since then we been dealing with the above issues.
Hi Dr Berg. You are spot on. I was told that I needed to have my appendix removed while visiting the ER 20 years ago. Being that I am Native American, the doctor told me that a high percentage of Native Americans almost always have issues with sever pain due to their gall bladder. She also said that I would eventually need to come back to get it removed. She said she could save me the trouble and give me a 2 for 1 and remove my gall bladder along with my appendix. Being young and thinking doctors know all, I said "ok". After my surgery the doctor came in to tell me that I had a perfect appendix and gall bladder. She said with a nice amount of adhesion??! She told me that my problem had nothing to do with my appendix and that I had an impacted bowel. Now years later I find myself having issues that I feel I would never of had otherwise. I have terrible constipation, bloating, dry skin, blurry vision, head aches which I am just now learning may be due to having no gall bladder. Thank you for what you do. You have taught me more about myself, more so than any of my doctor's ever had. What can I do to reverse the issues that I have? Is there anything that can be done after the fact?
Certain foods go right through me now. I was warned that removing my Gallbladder could result in diarrhea. They never mentioned the types of foods to eat or avoid. However, the hell I went through before having mine removed FAR outweighs ANY complications actual or possible!! Before suspecting my Gallbladder and knowing to avoid fatty foods, I would have severe abdominal pains that I would compare to someone putting all their weight on a pointy stick right below my sternum and leave it there for 4 to 6 hours continuously and I continued to have them even after avoiding fatty foods. Nothing would relieve the pains accept for time - not even the Hydrocodone I had from a previous surgery would touch it. The surgeon said my Gallbladder was over twice the size of a normal one and I had several Gallstones the size of peas to marbles and the Gall duct had been stretched to twice it's normal diameter. For me, the removal of my Gallbladder was a Godsend despite any side-effects!
I am totally convinced that gallbladder removal is a bad idea. I hope there is a video about lifestyle changes that can head off the problem of gall stones!
I love this "what they don't tell you" series.. I would trust this guy completely because we watched the what they don't tell you when they remove your heart video and let me just tell you he was dead-on!!
At my first check up after surgery I mentioned to my surgeon I was having to rush to the bathroom about 30 minutes after eating. He said that was not.possible because the food stays in your system for a certain amount of hours before you have to go bathroom. He didnt even bother to ask questions or look more into it. Just told me I was wrong.
Doctors have no nutritional training. No medical school teaches it. They are essentially salesmen for Big Pharma. That's why I enjoy these Dr Berg videos. I'm not on Keto. I'm on Weston Price which is close to Keto.
@@deebell8727 No he was wrong I’m not a doctor but I do know that eating causes a reflex action which makes the colon contract which makes you need to visit the bathroom 🚽 a short time after eating this reflex is particularly strong in young babies and most mothers will have noticed they have a bowel movement every time you feed them.
@@deebell8727 Your case will then be registered as having no post op issue and added to the statistics...Those stats are then used to convince other people that removal doesnt cause problems....
Thank you! After my gall bladder surgery 10 years ago, I asked my surgeon if there was any dietary info I should have. His exact words "You'll figure it out quick enough" were less than helpful. Your video told me more than anyone has so far. I plan to stop using olive oil (which we tend to use in everything) and decrease the amount of nuts I eat. I had recently found out about bile salts - but they are difficult to find. I will also add back Omega 3 which I had stopped a couple of years ago. Thanks again!
You are the first doctor who has mentioned any if this! Thank you!!! I’ve not had a gallbladder for 10 years & have tons of stomach issues. I feel relieved from this & will continue to do more with your I formation! Thank you!!!!
This is great information, Dr. Berg. I appreciate the thorough explanation. I had my gallbladder removed at 22 years old, which was over 25 years ago. They never told me about what I will become deficient in. The only thing I was told was to watch what I eat. Yeah right, tell that to a 22-year-old. I now know that a lot of my digestive issues go back to having this organ removed. I have had a fatty liver and dealing with insulin resistance as well as weight gain that won't come off no matter what I try. I also had a partial hysterectomy based on an OBGYN's false recommendations. It's very disheartening to have to rely on medical professionals who don't care to explain and only look to make money. So many people are suffering and I thank you for putting your content out there for us. Do you recommend anything for the pancreas now that the GB is removed?
Had what was called sludge in my gallbladder and let dr take it out with getting no warning about possible issues including severe stomach pain, dry skin and vision issues. Wish I would have known the truth before hand. Thank you Dr Berg for helping us with these problems.
I’ve known this “innately” for over 25 years - just based on the symptoms u sited - since having my gall bladder removed in 1995. You are the first doctor, in all these years, to acknowledge the truth. No offense to u personally, but my experience has convinced me that doctors are just politicians with scalpels. I keep my distance now.
Vice I agree 100%
i also had my gallbladder out in 1995
A
They don't care! Mine doesn't!
I had mine in 1995 too. I was so sick for about 18 months post-op. At a class reunion I was telling a friend of mine about it & she said I needed to tell her husband about it. He is a surgeon. So I did & he immediately said I had “post chole syndrome & wrote me a script for Questran. Changed my life. However the effect gradually wore off & I ,until the past year, suffered with IBS-D. I was diagnosed with a rare cancer & went through treatment & major surgery which somehow affected my symptoms & I haven’t had any issues since. My last CT showed my fatty liver has resolved. Looking back I don’t think I needed a chole. The stones were found during an related test & the doctor said I should have them removed so I did. Big mistake.
Over 20 years ago, a doctor wanted to remove mine. Without running any tests. He wanted to remove it, because I said I wasn't sleeping well. I realized he was up to no good by intuition. I still have my gallbladder today. No regrets.
That is just terrible. Omg!
@Fred Champion not so much the bad doctors but the training they have received for their profession through their education is a reflection of the medical system at large.
You are so right, something is not right! 100%👏.
My mother and sister are witches, and they cursed me.
I didn't find this out until it was too late, and I nearly died. What I have learnt is PRAY TO GOD about every sickness before you go to the lieing doctors. ✔
I left my family, and so happy now, and I truly believe in JESUS AND GOD KNOW.
Thankyou GOD.💖💖

No there are the devils😈 soilders out there mate.
My mum and sister are witches, and guess what trade they are in.
"Nursing and disability care.😳"
I am in another country now thanks to GOD.✝️
When a person is a witch or a wizard, I ask myself, how many lives they have destroyed in turning poor souls into disability or killed? Its frigging scary that thought.
They hurt me, friend, jealousy and hate are there eyes and heart.
I prayed for justice as it says in the BIBLE and leave revenge up to GOD.
And quite the gall bladder at that might I say. I noticed right away. I took one good look and I was like "look at the gallbladder on her".
I had my gall bladder removed 20 years ago & was so relieved, as the pain I was suffering in the end was the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. I haven’t had any issues, but I did change my diet. Thank you for the info.
My sister had her gallbladder removed, her doctor said she'd be fine without it and never told her about any side effects. She is now in poor health, with such bloating and digestive issues that she looks like she's carrying triplets (she's now 58!). I'm sharing this important info with her. Thank you.
I’m sorry about your sister what she’s going through! I’m curious on this though did your sisters health start going down after having her gallbladder removed? also as you brought up digestion issues and bloated on a side note perimenopause menopause can cause us women so many problems and there’s over 100 symptoms and digestion is a big one woman get and bloating that’s why I’m curious! I hope your sister is getting better 🤍
I have the same problem. Doctors did not know educate about the future health problems or discuss life style changes needed to incorporate because i no longer had a gall bladder.
I had my gallbladder removed ten years ago. I was told to not eat spicy or greasy foods. And that was it. I am now 2 months short of 70 years old. Three years ago I started having problems with severe bloating and belching. I was so swollen that I got new stretch marks and could barely fit into my elastic waisted skirts and slacks. When I went to my doctor he told me it was just Irritable Bowel Syndrome and to eat more fiber, which was the worst thing I could've done as I was already eating a high fiber, low fat diet and had been for many years. Eventually the pain became so severe that I went to the ER. After running some tests and finding nothing, they referred me to a gastroenterologist. Through further tests and medical history it was discovered I had SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). I was treated for that. It cleared up, and I felt like a new person. But two years later it is back. I am now doing the bile salts and intermittent fasting regime. It is not completely healed, but I am doing a WHOLE lot better. Ask your sister if she has been tested/treated for SIBO. The difference is like day and night. A good way to tell if she has it is if she eats and then 60 to 90 minutes later the belching and bloating starts.
Tell your dear sister to join the Club; Ditto for me as well bloated out with a gigantic hippopotamus belly. I feel like a damn Circus animal.
I have been advised to have my porcelain gallbladder removed. I have a huge fear of hospitals. Can anyone give me any advice for this condition please? I was told it was best to have surgery due to possible gallbladder cancer. From what I’ve read from recent test the risk is only minimal. Please can anyone help?
Sorry, but had my gall bladder taken out over twenty years ago. Best decision after suffering horrible pain and discomfort for years. Up to now, no problems thankfully.
Same here. It saved my life, I don’t regret it at all, and have had no problems in 30 years post-gallbladder.
Though, removing our gallbladder increases your chances of upper intenstinal cancer and pancreatic cancer. Just keep a watch on it.
Rita i mine removed 40years ago because i had a very large amount of stones my life has never changed i eat meat every day have never changed my diet i weight 90km stand 1.8 I'm 77years old and very active it depends on a person's make up and attitude listen to your body it will tell you how you are a lot of people dwell on ailments be strong !!!

@@jackbarrie6007 I agree totally with your assessment of the situation Jack. My wife had hers removed in an emergency operation 40 years ago, and nary any issues connected since. I'm quiet puzzeled as to why so many folks on here seem to all have issues with their removals.
I was rushed to the hospital and admitted. After a battery of tests, my gallbladder was basically a rotten piece of meat and I had gone septic without presentment of jaundice. The bad part, I stood a good chance of dying. I was knocked out with pain meds and antibiotics pumped in me to fight off infection. On the third day they operated without cutting me wide open surviving the surgery. That was 2013, made a full recovery and have had no problems since. My doctor discussed diet and how it will affect me and I will know what I can and can’t eat.. insofar, been lucky to eat normal and enjoy food.
My gallbladder was removed and I even asked the doctors do I need to supplement and they said no I was told nothing and I have been experiencing all these symptoms! Now I know why and what to do . Thank you Dr Berg.
Tell others here in this comment forum of your experience!!!...
I'm continually wondering WHY people allow Dr's to simply tell them they need their gall bladder removed without supporting diagnosis . W.T.F. is going on here ? WHY are you people allowing these pricks to boss you around ?

Dr Berg you are a treasure. Seventeen years ago my very sick gallbladder caused an abscess on my pancreas which led to a domino of terrible effects. Forty-five days in the hospital after surviving from encephalopathy and gallbladder excision I went home to recover. But now I have all those problems with my liver and digestive system. But no one has given me any actionable information on what I can do to help my liver. But every year the list of medications grows longer. Thank you so very much for the information packed videos you make and for the additional information you provide so we can follow up and go deeper. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You're very welcome. Glad you found the videos useful.
Since getting my gallbladder removed I’ve been pain free. No regrets.
Well done. But eat healthy. And exercise.
Yet!!! Depends how long it’s been since you had it removed had mine removed two years ago no problems then suddenly bang can’t drink alcohol makes you feel sick reflux acid came up and into my airwaves during my sleep woke up not able to breath nearly killed me !doctors at the hospital said it was like drinking battery acid !!!couldn’t breathe !! it was the acid reflux from food not breaking down the food! Can’t take much milk ice cream bread everything has to be a tiny amount of pain it’s just like the gallbladder is still there ! Hope it’s ok for u but he warned and careful x
I went through a Whipple surgery last year and part of that surgery was removal of my gallbladder, I have no problems with it since, I was just told to eat small meals and eat often every 2 to 3 hours, the hardest part for me is, eating every 2 to 3 hours, I eat every 5 hours approximately, because I'm never hungry.
@@lillieiliff3639 It was years later until I had major problems and then they came. Now, 24 years later they are hell. It caused my type 2 Diabetes and life has never been the same. So here I am seeking information from Dr. Berg.
Thank you. Had my gall bladder out in ‘94. They told me I could eat anything now. Boy were they wrong. Wish I never had it taken out. Thanks Dr Berg for telling us how to deal with it!!!
Right
Yes i had allergy to cauliflower and ladyfinger after my surgery
Me too so agree awful lack of information. In my case urgent I went jaundice and passed out They kept telling me I had an upset tummy LOL
It would have been really nice to know about this 20 years ago when I was 7 months pregnant with my third son. Never had any problems until one night I was in excruciating pain. Went to ER, started throwing up bile an was told I needed emergency gall bladder removal. Said it it was common in woman with multiple pregnancies and I “didn’t need it”. No one ever said, hey you should take bile salts now or you may feel XYZ symptoms. Only just leaned this from Dr Berg. Since doing Keto I go to the restroom like a normal person, I don’t burp in public, awkward, and I don’t feel bloated after a meal. Thanks Dr Berg! Oh and p.s. I’ve lost 20 lbs! 😁
That's exactly why I'm here I'm almost 9 months pregnant had an attack about a month ago went to the ER and they told me I had gallstones now the doctor wants to make an appointment ASAP to take my Goldstone bladder out now I'm debating if I should even do it I know it's all for the insurance money they found two small stones in there what do you recommend I don't want to have it removed to have a whole shitload of problems!!!!!
I was 22 i was pregnant with my first child I was four months pregnant that I had my first gallbladder attack and it continued during my pregnancy and I had an emergency surgery after my baby was born and nobody gave me no directions or information I have been suffering from all the symptoms that doctor is explaining please let me know if you are taking bile salt I’m thinking about taking it I have been living without a gallbladder for 24 years now.
They told me the same thing... I never been the same since..
Same. Age 45 snowballed gut issues.
@@nadiahusseini7247 about 20 years without a gall bladder here. Have started taking bile salts on an empty tummy. Also trying DAO. I have a lot of food allergies.
Twelve years ago I was told my gall bladder was diseased and needed to be removed. I immediately said no. Was told the gall bladder never heals when it is at that point. A bit over a year later, new tests showed my gall bladder was okay. I had changed my diet, and also changed the facility that had tested me because the doctor often does what the lab tells him to do ... and it is my firm belief that some of the interpreting doctors at the labs easymode everything. So, when getting a ''second opinion'' on surgeries, do make sure that includes a second lab. I don't know if in my case that that was the real difference, or the dietary changes, but the moral of the story is: don't be too hasty, take some time to look around and talk to others, and let your body heal itself.
A friend of mine also said a friend of hers did a gallbladder cleanse and no longer needed surgery
My gallbladder was removed and they told me it was completely healthy. All kinds of problems now. So angry that I wasn't given other options.
Doctors aren’t Gods, and some are terrible diagnosticians. Be pro-active and do your due diligence.
I was told the same thing. I had the surgery.
So true. Most science today is Dark Ages junk science. I read articles on Google that once your hair goes gray, you can't recover your old hair color. That is soooo false. My gray hair recolored itself after three years when I dramatically changed my diet.
I just had my gallbladder out last Saturday in an emergency surgery. They didn't say as much, but for as long as most people are waiting for surgery right now, I'm pretty sure it was about to burst, fail, go septic, whatever. This first week of recovery has been rough, but knowing how bile and the various fats work helps. I started an ox bile supplement the day before yesterday, and that has helped tremendously.
As a cholecystectomy patient and retired RN I find this video excellent. I did not know about all the digestive problems after surgery or the inability to digest certain fats. I have suffered from indigestion, bloating, belching etc for years. I just started taking bile salts with excellent results. I feel so much better! Thank you so very much.
Did you lose weight and what brand are you using? Thanks.
Where do you get bile salts ?
Which kind would you recommend?
I wish I'd known more before having my gb removed. I also wish they would share this info you shared so we're not struggling with the consequences years later.
Oddly enough after having my gallbladder removed I’ve never experienced any problems
Many People seem to do fine, but there certainly are Things that CAN get worse in your Body.

I haven t either but it Pisses me off my Dr didn't answer my questions like this when I asked since I wasn't haven t problems to begin with. He just told me at my age (65) I would eventually need to have it taken out more or less so i may as well do it now. I think if you have good insurance it becomes a racket for these doctors. My Dr makes thousands per patient and does surgery once a week on nothing but gall bladder patients. When I went in for my check up he never opened my file when I asked how mine looked. Told me he didn't remember, he does so many of them. And this guy practices at a "reputable" hospital.

My gall bladder was badly infected and was removed two years ago, now I am suffering all those things you mentioned. Thank you for all of your videos. I will take your advise.
I had to go through a Whipple surgery last year and one of the organ's removed was my gallbladder. That was a year past last month, no problems.
This video was so helpful! What’s really amazing to me is that I messaged you The other day saying that I had my gallbladder removed over 40 years ago. Thank you for clearing up the misunderstanding I had. A few years ago I read Information that had me believe my liver would provide enough bile to replace my gallbladder.
Yes, this is vital information that people like myself that had gallbladder surgery. Since then I cannot tolerate certain fats or oily foods on top of other kinds of symptoms mentioned in video. Worth taking notes as you watch to help you make changes for the better. Thanks for making this information known to the suffering people. 👍
I felt great after having my gall bladder removed. Never had any problems at all.
Can you tell me pls where the pain was and what it felt like? I'm trying to see if I should get mine out. My pain is on the side where gallbladder and liver are. I do know my gallbladder is full of stones and I do pass them and it kills my gallbladder area a few days before they pass. I don't want to get it out and then realize I didn't need to
You're right. No one ever told me what to expect when I had my gallbladder out. I'm so happy that I saw you on this UA-cam channel. Thanks so much.
I had my gallbladder out years ago and have had a problem with digestion, diarrhea and bloating ever since.. thank you for explaining why!

I think this was very needed to know info. I know someone who had that surgery, which is solely why I watched, to pass it on to her, in case she's not aware of this. I can't imagine a hospital not giving you this info, it's sickening, it really is. What are they looking for a repeat surgery, this time its the liver. That is not looking at the total well-care health of the patient, pre-surgery.
Years ago I had a different type surgery, and I did have good doctors, and nurses. Upon leaving they gave me a complete list, of things to avoid, things like food that were best, and other aftercare things. It's like I appreciated that list, as much as the surgery. I was glad to have them. I follow doctor's orders because they know more in that field than I do, and so I followed that list, and was healed. I commend my hospital for giving that needed info out. And the same should be for gallbladder, instead of sending them home, clueless, of what to avoid, and get sick. That defeated the purpose of what they came for. "First do no harm", is the doctor's oath.
I have so many family and friends that had their gallbladder removed and they all have issues of being constipated all the time. I'm glad that you made this video explaining why they are so thank you.
Are they drinking plenty of water as that will help a lot with constipation.
Good to know all that you have informed us of, I'm still wanting to hear more about specifically what should and should not be eaten once it's gone!
Your body needs bile to breakdown fats and lipids that you consume. All you need is a bile supplement with your meals which you can purchase at Meijer/walmart for under $10.00.
I had my gall bladder containing one small gallstone removed in 1962 when I was 14 years old and was initially told I would probably have to be on a fat less diet for life but as I progressed very well this was revoked and I’ve never had any kind problems or health issues. I take a small mg of cholesterol medication which keeps it at a steady 5 - 6 I’m now 73 and eat healthily and enjoy a wide variety of food.
I was in the emergency room years ago for an incredible pain. They removed my gall bladder and ive had so many problems with my health because of it. Most of it has been pancreatitis. I have the biggest and juciest eye bags i have ever had.I wish i would have known this back then. A friend of mine developed pancreatic cancer after her gall bladder was removed. I tried the keto diet and had uncontrollable diarrhea. I was dehydrated so much, my spine was hurting and my muscles were tired and cramping. This is great advice. Thank you for the series. I'm so glad Ive subscribed.
I noticed when I went out on a whole food diet and stayed away from processed foods it cleared up a lot of my IBS irritable bowel syndrome and gallbladder issues
This was the first time I have ever been aware Of things I should have known when my gallbladder was removed.
You explain some of the issues I had. Although oh, on my own I started taking omega-3 Krill fish oil because it was good for me.
I still just want to throw my hands in the air when you talk about some of the oils that need extra help breaking down.
It's so exhausting ihealth heart health Liver Health adrenal health. Oh my gosh it's just so much to take in. And now discovering that there are a lot of other herbs that I need to take to have better health. Finances are an issue when it comes to trying to buy and take everything else my body is supposed to need. Trying to Be watchful and listen to things that I need to be aware of for my Better Health.
Nevertheless your videos, when I do watch them have always been helpful. God bless you for the work that you do and information that helps.
@Heloise, I appreciate your input.
With my concerns right now about Hasimots/autoimmune. Nettles is good. What else can you enlighten me with herbs & hasimoto?
Thanks you for sharing your knowledge.🍃🙏🌸🙏🍃
@Heloise O'Byrne helo dr o bime I have sclerosis have to healp my self thank you
Take it in small steps:-)
I had my gallbladder removed in 1985 and I had diarrhea issues for a couple years. I’ve not had a problem since
Did you have the diarrhea before or after the hall bladder removal?
I'm a teacher and your presentation style and delivery are very good. The content is organized and concise. You might want to consider 1.) Writing a bit bigger in block letters 2.) using two different marker colors to make it easier to see the information on the board. I'm learning a lot from you and I say thank you.
I am glad I had my gallbladder removed about 25 years ago. The pain from the constant gallbladder attacks that I was having, was just excruciating.
I took vegetable supplements for 2 weeks and the gallbladder attacks perfectly stopped. The doctors and nurses kept recommending surgery and getting high pressure about it. One gave me a gloomy prediction. All I needed was two weeks of vegetable pills to dissolve the gallstones.
@@stephaniewallace225 I had the same experience, only with me it was my thyroid. They wanted to kill my thyroid with radioactive iodine and the more I looked into that, the less I wanted to have that. Plus, as they kept telling me I would need to be on medication till I die as I would no longer have a thyroid. Thank goodness I never gave up and found a holistic dr who saw me through without killing my thyroid. That was 15 years ago
I almost went to the ER several times with the pain from gallstones. Worst pain I had at that point in my life.
I had mine removed, I could not deal with the nausea.
Try Gallstone X or Stone Free holistic pills.
Great info. I wish more people did their homework before they agreed to have their body parts removed.
This topic is how I found you! I was going down fast after about five years without my gallbladder! Teeth and bones deteriorating, deep depression overall malaise....I was eating well, taking all my vitamins, but alas all my fat soluble supplements were for naught! I have no doubt this saved me from a long drawn out and painful death! Not a single healthcare (I use the term loosely) person mentioned the loss of gallbladder or connected any of the dots! I need to mention, my first improvements were from simply adding your Gallbladder Formula...the other steps came later, after I began to feel human again and like I actually might have a life worth living 😊
Can you please explain what you do? I feel like I'm on my deathbed half the time. I did order the salts.
Yes, please take us through the steps youve added.
I had mine removed 14 years ago. I wasn’t told it would cause any issues. But then I discovered that I would get terrible pain where the gallbladder used to be.
Stephanie Bogart. Same thing happened to me. Discovered scar tissue from surgery. It can be horrible pain for about a minute. It happens when I twist to my right when I reach for something. Don't forget there is a metal staple used to close the duct. It catches on the tissue. Lots of deep breathing and pressing on that area helps me. Wish I had known about alternative methods to having it removed. Clean eating also helped with the aftermath of diarrhea. Processed foods overwork the body.
I got a pain in my side for YEARS after surgery...its been 25 years now. At some point it went away, but digestive issues remain :(
Robin W my acid reflux increased after surgery. When my gastroenterologist would not return my calls his office staff recommended a proton inhibitor. I was already taking one and wanted to get rid of my medication. My body wasn't handling it anymore. So I went to a naturepathic doctor who tested my blood (the only way to know what is happening to the body at that point in time). The tests and results were extensive. And your primary doctor won't do these types of tests. She changed my life and tailored a program for me according to my blood work and recommended 'clean eating". To eat real food, nothing out of a box, bag or tin can. No processed foods. No additives. The digestive issues disappeared. The timing was right since my body had been fighting all the garbage I had been eating for years, primarily sugar. Eating Fake food also affected my sleep. Now I eliminated all my medication and have more energy. Perhaps you will give this some thought.
they call that the g-bladder ghost pain... just kidding...
I find when I eat a lot of fat mine hurts too, and I feel a bit of inflammation where it used to be and where my scar is.
Thank You for being the Doctor who explain's what we need after GB removal. Most people don't know to ask after surgery, then it's too late! You are like Superman rescuing all of us! Thank You Dr. Berg 🙏
You're so welcome!
My Younger Brother had GB removed has Stage 3 GB Cancer...is now on Chemo/Radiation....I Sure Pray for More info to help Him!!
Thank-You for putting your Videos Out Here 4 Us !!
Even for just "General Info"!!
God Bless You, and ALL Whom You Love, Vaya con Dios, Doc!!
I’m so glad I watched this before my gallbladder surgery… thanks for posting 🙋🏽♀️
Thank you for sharing! I think conventional doctors are too quick to jump on the removal of the gallbladder when there are other natural things that can be done to cleanse it and thus alleviate many of the problems. Thank you for pointing these things out.

I need more input as to what natural foods to eat to help with digestion after gall bladder removal
"They" aren't going to tell you anything they didn't study or isn't going to make "them" a profit! It's up to each to take control of their health!
Ceil Constante No they are Not, we as patients have the right to question Drs as much as we have to , to feel comfortable and make a decision for our own health. Too bad I was only 22 when they removed my gallbladder and they didn’t give me any other option. That’s why I don’t trust Drs a 💯 %.
Ceil, yeah, I want to keep all of my body parts!
They are trying to kill us. Plain n simple
Amen
No code for insurance company..no pay
have a pill
No health care
Prevent sickness
That is why if yoy CHOOSE a Doctor of Osteopathy
most insurance will not cover them and you must pay out of pocket
Interesting ..I was in hospital in 4/20 and the times before They would NEVER give me my vitamins and minerals
But in April the Hospitalist was a D.O..she gave me ALL My Vitamins and minerals I listed that I took
A miracle
Amen to that! I’ve been to two doctors who tell me I must have my gb taken out. When they tell me it isn’t needed or when I ask about the risks of not having it, they actually get pissed & one, a gastroenterologist, told me that the problems I might have are nothing compared to not have it removed. Like, what kind of answer is that! Of course I went prepared with typed out notes & questions, which she could not even answer. Why do so many medical doctors act like they are gods who must never be questioned?
I had my gallbladder bladder removed in the 1980s so always wondered what the long term effects might be since no one ever mentions that. This is exactly what I've needed.
I died for a minute or two during the death and rupture of my gal bladder. I became septic, ran a 106 fever and had full peritonitis. My common duct also required a rebuild. Damaged due to a side effect of a anti tumor drug. Lost 64 lbs but survived. Hard surgery.
Praise God!! Glad you're still here💗🙏🏾
Glad to hear this. My gb was removed years ago. Never told this by the surgeon.🙂
Love your video had a gallbladder attack about 30 years ago ended up in the hospital Friday night. Saturday morning surgeon came to see me told me would do surgery Monday morning. By then pain is gone I asked for the med to break up since I had receive meds in Puerto Rico. Dr. lied said it don't exist. Then I told him about it. The Dr. lied again, however, I had planned that I was not going to allow no operations when I was admitted. therefore I lied also. The surgeon threw a fit when I said no operation and in a fit of anger the surgeon yelled in front of everyone there " how the hell am I going to make money? Well this should tell you something people. By the way, he told me nothing about this. but I asked him and he lied again. said it was a lie. So far I have all my organs but my tonsils.
Good for you! I wish I were that strong!I'm glad I still have all my organs so far! Only surgery so far has been on my nose for double hematoma. Hoping I don't need hernia/prolapse surgery. Trying to heal it with Keto, IF, topical comfrey among other astringents and vulneraries, & a bit of additional collagen supplement.
I'm amazed at how many folks I see who have had their GB removed. And what a cascade of maladies this causes.
yup so many replied her with same loss of the organ..
Mine was removed, and I've had no problems with it, fortunately.
@@annettemorrison7737 Gall bladder or no we all have our kidneys to protect. There are ways to deal with kidney stones that Dr Berg will tell you will also apply to gall bladder stones.
Sad issue is the gall bladder does not need removal
I did reading on this before mine was
I was away from home at the time..I believe if I waz home I would not have had mine removed
Can research this
@@estelleschneider9033 I too wish I was better informed before I have my colon and gallbladder removed.
I love your platform. I've been seen the same doctors for years. they do not break anything down to me . they really don't care.
LOL things that I find on UA-cam are very helpful. I show them to my doctor. they have the most silliest look on their face keep up the good work!
My Mother-in-law has suffered from these symptoms for over 50 years, severely reducing her quality of life and causing so much upset that she can barely even talk about her discomfort or disctress. Intuitively, she senses something went wrong after surgery, but she is too ashamed to investigate her digestive issues any further. So she suffers in silence. It’s so sad. I will share this video with other family members. Maybe it will help. 🙏🏻
No one told me this. I have been Dealing with constipation and digestive problems for five years no one told me it was because I had my gallbladder out they tell me it’s all in my head
Hi Dr. Berg, I feel like you have not produced a definitive video about DISSOLVING or eliminating Gallstones to prevent surgery. I am taking the Gallbladder Formula, ACV liquid, Betaine HCL and soon will be taking beta tcp, and Phosfood Phosphorus. I think a video that focuses on how to dissolve stones would be critical to avoid surgery that you have advised against. please offer your unique knowledge on ridding ourselves of the stones. Thank you!
thefink68 yes!! I would like to see a video on that as well
Yes, please Dr. Berg, a video on dissolving gallstones would be great!
Does Dr. Berg ever respond to comments or questions?
Look up Dr Richard Schulze's protocol for fast dissolving of them.
@@jetsetter8541 i wouldn't recommend that as it's too risky. there 70% chance Gallstone will get stuck on the common bile duct and cause you more trouble
Never knew that, I had mine removed 30 yrs ago and no one told me this! Thank you, really appreciate this clip!
My gall bladder was removed 25 years ago with no ill effects, however I have felt nauseous for the last 5 years after breakfast. I took your advice and take a bile supplement and the nausea has gone
Very helpful information. I had my gall bladder removed 24 years ago. Greasy foods pass right through me. I now know what foods to stay away from based on your video. Of course I was never told any of these things when my gall bladder was removed. Thank you for the education.
It is important to know that stones can be reversed or managed. I have lots of stones and my doctor said I’d die if I didn’t have my gallbladder removed. I’ve been pain free on keto using the Digest Aid and Gallbladder Formula. I asked the tech who did the sonogram and he told me the walls hadn’t thickened and the pancreas looked good. Try diet changes before removing it. I know the pain of a gallbladder attack is excruciating, but the lifelong concerns of not having one are worse. Plus without an organ there is added stress on the rest of the body.
Can you please tell what diet changes you made to reverse your gall bladder stone issue? Thanks
I follow Dr Berg’s healthy keto and intermittent fasting. I do 1-2 meals a day. I haven’t found any healthy fats that I can’t eat. I do try to support my liver with cabbage, beet greens, dandelion greens, etc. He has a video on supporting liver function.
I wish I was given such good advice before mine was removed.
Chanca piedra prevents and breaks up, both gallstones and kidney stones.
Ship Creek : All the credit goes to my mom. She said to keep it, “God didn’t make us with unnecessary parts.” 😬
Thank you Love all your videos! Very informative!! I had mine removed in 2001 and I wish I hadn’t nothing but problems with exactly what you described... The most healthy I ever felt was being vegetarian... 💕 your work!!!
I had no idea what the consequences were when my gallbladder was removed. Unfortunately, because I had cancer I didn't have a choice. But, glad I'm learning what to do now to improve my health
My daughter had her gallbladder removed in her earlier years and now is very heavy. She's in her 40s now. I'm sending this video to her. I think she may find it helpful. I'm 67 & still have mine & have no problems as I eat lemons and ACV. Not together.
Whenever I watch you I am amazed at what I learn, love you Dr Berg❤.
I had mine removed 10 years ago. When I was eating carbs I had a hard time with fats. More than two pieces of Bacon and I was sick. Now that I am on a high fat diet and very few carbs I don't have a problem eating a pound of bacon if I wanted to. It took 2 or 3 weeks, but I seem to have adapted to the higher fats. I don't know why, but it's working out for me so I am sticking with whats working.
what caused the failure?
Have you ever taken bile salts?
Gall Stones, which led to severe Pancreatitus. I was in the ICU for a week on Demerol and Deluded to get stable enough for the surgery. .
No, I feel great and I don't have a problem with the fats and I am loosing weight. So I am not going to add anything to the recipe. I am off insulin, metformin, and 4 blood pressure meds. In fact I am off all prescription meds now.
Whats ur cholesterol and triglyceride levels?
Had my gallbladder taken out 30 years ago, for over 10 years I was n constant pain, it was full of rocks, today I have some problems when eating spicy, hot, or some fast foods, thanks for the video, good information
I’ve been following a ketogenic way of eating for 2.5 years. 90 pounds down, HgA1C 5.3, goal weight, etc. 6 months ago my LFTs were sky high-ALT was 1,169 and AST was 88. No alcohol or drugs. Gallbladder was highly inflamed. Post cholecystectomy, LFTs have returned to normal and my ketogenic way of life is still the best!
Thank you. My health became an issue starting in 1994, at age 39.Brain aneurysm, stroke, hypertension, gallbladder. type 2 diabetes, I'm in my 60s now and taking more meds than I ever thought possible.I'm taking as many natural health supplements and vitamins as anything prescribed by my dr. and I research everything. I like having resources to know what's really going on in my body. Thank you so much.
I love your view and explanation on so many different health issues.
Love this video. Actually just watched an old video of yours about the bumps on my arm and picked up some cod liver oil today. Then I see this. I had my gallbladder removed at 18 and I’m 37. I am on borage, krill, and cod now and taking bile salts.
I think a follow-up video that talks about keeping the gall bladder healthy would be extremely helpful. I turn 52 next month, and since May 2018 have now lost 53 pounds (from 218.5 lbs to 165.4 lbs, and your channel has been instrumental in helping me achieve that). As far as I know, my gall bladder is working fine, but I have suffered kidney stones twice in the past, and want to lessen the chances of similar stones developing in my gall bladder that might inspire its surgical removal. What steps can I take, what foods can I consume and avoid, to help keep my gall bladder in good health?
ACV with Lemon in Water
Very informative didn't notice any real issues after gall bladder removal until I got much older now I have all the issues that you mentioned why don't doctors tell you what to expect, when any surgery is done
Thank you for doing this.
This video immediately caught my eye. Finally a doc who explains the gall bladder or lack thereof.
Thank you. They didn’t tell me anything when they took my gallbladder out. So sad it would have helped me if they had.
I've found that 2 Tbl ACV taken after a high fat meal is helpful. Thank you Dr Berg
This is a fun fact 👍🙂
What is ACV?
@@sharonwelch2330 apple cider vinegar
@@sharonwelch2330 Apple Cider Vinegar 😁
@@sharonwelch2330 But not just plain apple cider vinegar works! It MUST be the "raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar" used, for ANY "HEALTH benefits". The pure raw unfiltered has some murky stuff floating around the base of the jar of acv, & it needs to be all shook up together before using it, to get the health benefits!
Had mine removed in 2006 and was told at the time that it was something that is "surplus to requirements". They screwed up the removal, giving me sepsis from which I nearly died. Lucky for me the only long term effects were a triple stroke, causing permanent disability :-/ Had I known at the time that I'd still be on medication for the rest of my life, I'd have told them to sod off ! Been on a keto/LCHF diet for about 2 months now really seem to be feeling the benefits :)
Stupid facking doctors! "Sepsis" is so very simple to halt and reverse by natural means it's silly. They basically only know how to push pills and cut, burn, & sew!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Same happened to me. They cut my bile duct resulting in sepsis that almost killed me. Until then, I had zero health problems. If I knew then what I know now....
So sorry you had this horrible experience. I hope you got a lawyer.
@@Catlady77777 I did indeed, they were the only ones that made anything from it though as according to them, no matter how deep they looked they couldn't find any actual negligence. They put it down to a very unlucky "stroke" of misfortune. Despite getting M.R.S.A. and them "dropping" a bag-full of Gallstones inside me, they did everything by the book apparently. It happens, but your body can usually dissolve them, but mine didn't for some reason. Regarding the M.R.S.A. that too is "acceptable" as long as they do everything by the expected standards, it's just seen as a hazard of the environment. I survived long enough to welcome my first grandchild, which is the main thing 😊
Oh my gosh just turned 60 had cholestectomy when 19. No one ever told me anything. Ugh. Thank you so helpful. Wow thanks from Montgomery Illinois.
I love that you make all these short vids for people to explain different things about our bodies. This was a good one... they are all very informative and I learn a lot from them.
I had my gallbladder removed42 years ago.. considering the mind blowing agonizing pain before the procedure, if I had been told about these problems, I would have still went ahead with it.
Mine is coming out on Friday. I’m so worried but I cannot take the pain anymore :(
@@frozengreen5597 it will be fine. we'll be thinking of you on Friday. ❤Hang in there.
Had my surgery five days ago and I'm doing pretty good. I want to mention something that I have never read before in all of these videos about what can take place after the surgery. For my first 3 days anything I drank anything I ate went right through me has diarrhea. In those three days I went to the bathroom maybe 25 times. Unfortunately no one told me that was a possibility and it freaked me out. This was the first day I was able to get food down and it stayed down so just be aware this possibility. I've also experienced pretty much all the other side effects that have been mentioned and other videos. This is not a picnic peeps. It's at least three days of hell.... but it will end.
Hello. We hope that are in better condition now. If you are still having problems, you can try Dr. Berg's gallbladder formula. That's a very good source of bile salt. We recommend that to people who had their gallbladder removed. You will find here the product: shop.drberg.com/gallbladder-formula

Unfortunately for me, I was in excruciating pain and they rushed me to the hospital back in Dec 2009. After 5 days in the Hospital with tubes down my nose and throat and numerous tests,they figured out it was my gallbladder. I had no choice but to have it removed as it was diseased and no longer working,so I was told. I've had problems ever since it was removed. I have bloating, diarrhea and or constipation and pain when I eat, no matter how small the meal. I have numerous health issues now at 59. About 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with liver disease (Nash) that a CT scan with contrast discovered. I have been eating healthy for the last 5 years and over the last year, I really have no appetite. I only eat one meal a day (healthy meal), and take bile salts, liver supplements and vitamins. It's a constant struggle for me so those of you that had your gallbladder removed and are enjoying life, consider yourself lucky.
Thank you for the video!
You explained why I'm having the symptoms Dr's have made my feel guilty for not taking better care of myself!!
A couple years ago I was diagnosed with fatty liver disease, Vitamin D different, bloating, constipation, Thyroid dease & my kidneys were not functioning as well as they should.
I was asked by a Dr. If all I ate was fatty food's.
No infact I was eating healthy, no fried food . No fast food.
The Dr. gave me no advice on what to do.
So I want home & 1 thing I did do that seemed to help was every morning I made a quart jar of water, a third of a cup of apple cider vinegar and honey. I drank it through out the day. I also cut out white sugar, and most carbs & salt.
A year later my liver was normal & my kidneys also.
I lost 20 lbs.
Thanks Dr Berg. Ive been struggling for years. Now I follow a low fodmap diet, but i still have problems with digestion. I will look cod liver oil which my grandmother gave me as a kid. I thought i had to stay away from oils. Thanks again!
Let say, it literally is a shitty problem since it was removed.
I’m so mad….
It was a decent public service video that anyone considering gall bladder removal should have a listen. Some folks tend to trust everything a Dr. tells them. And many are positively clueless about consequences. I felt it was a straightforward message reasonably short and to the point without using Latin for explaining issues. The point of the message I presume is to prepare for the consequences and if the consequences are worse opt out. Look for a healthy diet to correct gall bladder issues. Not always an option but the best option is to control with diet and exercise.
You are right they took out my gall bladder and said nothing. Now I am fighting Pancreatic cancer. They put a stint in my liver to open it up. But and rapidly learning how to take better care of liver, kidneys and pancreas and combining as many cancer fighting ingredients in my foods. Am feeling better and looking better than a month ago. Thanks for your help.😊❤
I do hope you are feeling better now. Please be well.

So helpful! I had my gallbladder removed in an emergency surgery and had less than 8 hrs to think about my options...and honestly they made it sound like do or die...Ive always wanted to know how itd affect a keto diet.
Sadly it can turn easily into do or die. Sometimes we just don't have a Choice.
Keto caused my wife’s gallbladder to become inflamed. After several weeks the Dr. determined it was an enlarged bladder. She was in Septic shock when she was finally admitted. Since then we been dealing with the above issues.
Hi Dr Berg. You are spot on. I was told that I needed to have my appendix removed while visiting the ER 20 years ago. Being that I am Native American, the doctor told me that a high percentage of Native Americans almost always have issues with sever pain due to their gall bladder. She also said that I would eventually need to come back to get it removed. She said she could save me the trouble and give me a 2 for 1 and remove my gall bladder along with my appendix. Being young and thinking doctors know all, I said "ok". After my surgery the doctor came in to tell me that I had a perfect appendix and gall bladder. She said with a nice amount of adhesion??! She told me that my problem had nothing to do with my appendix and that I had an impacted bowel. Now years later I find myself having issues that I feel I would never of had otherwise. I have terrible constipation, bloating, dry skin, blurry vision, head aches which I am just now learning may be due to having no gall bladder. Thank you for what you do. You have taught me more about myself, more so than any of my doctor's ever had. What can I do to reverse the issues that I have? Is there anything that can be done after the fact?
Certain foods go right through me now. I was warned that removing my Gallbladder could result in diarrhea. They never mentioned the types of foods to eat or avoid.
However, the hell I went through before having mine removed FAR outweighs ANY complications actual or possible!!
Before suspecting my Gallbladder and knowing to avoid fatty foods, I would have severe abdominal pains that I would compare to someone putting all their weight on a pointy stick right below my sternum and leave it there for 4 to 6 hours continuously and I continued to have them even after avoiding fatty foods. Nothing would relieve the pains accept for time - not even the Hydrocodone I had from a previous surgery would touch it.
The surgeon said my Gallbladder was over twice the size of a normal one and I had several Gallstones the size of peas to marbles and the Gall duct had been stretched to twice it's normal diameter.
For me, the removal of my Gallbladder was a Godsend despite any side-effects!
@Starkey Morgan Glad you made it though!
I am totally convinced that gallbladder removal is a bad idea. I hope there is a video about lifestyle changes that can head off the problem of gall stones!
I love this "what they don't tell you" series.. I would trust this guy completely because we watched the what they don't tell you when they remove your heart video and let me just tell you he was dead-on!!
I can't believe the doctor that removed my gall bladder did not have this conversation with me! I'm angry quite frankly!
No one I know who had it out was told. It’s madness.
At my first check up after surgery I mentioned to my surgeon I was having to rush to the bathroom about 30 minutes after eating. He said that was not.possible because the food stays in your system for a certain amount of hours before you have to go bathroom. He didnt even bother to ask questions or look more into it. Just told me I was wrong.
Doctors have no nutritional training. No medical school teaches it. They are essentially salesmen for Big Pharma. That's why I enjoy these Dr Berg videos. I'm not on Keto. I'm on Weston Price which is close to Keto.
@@deebell8727 No he was wrong I’m not a doctor but I do know that eating causes a reflex action which makes the colon contract which makes you need to visit the bathroom 🚽 a short time after eating this reflex is particularly strong in young babies and most mothers will have noticed they have a bowel movement every time you feed them.
@@deebell8727 Your case will then be registered as having no post op issue and added to the statistics...Those stats are then used to convince other people that removal doesnt cause problems....
I can't wait to share this with my daughter. We both no gall bladder
I think u are a amazing Dr. They never told me anything about bile salt or anything else u said
Thank you! After my gall bladder surgery 10 years ago, I asked my surgeon if there was any dietary info I should have. His exact words "You'll figure it out quick enough" were less than helpful. Your video told me more than anyone has so far. I plan to stop using olive oil (which we tend to use in everything) and decrease the amount of nuts I eat. I had recently found out about bile salts - but they are difficult to find. I will also add back Omega 3 which I had stopped a couple of years ago. Thanks again!
You are the first doctor who has mentioned any if this! Thank you!!! I’ve not had a gallbladder for 10 years & have tons of stomach issues. I feel relieved from this & will continue to do more with your I formation! Thank you!!!!
This is great information, Dr. Berg. I appreciate the thorough explanation. I had my gallbladder removed at 22 years old, which was over 25 years ago. They never told me about what I will become deficient in. The only thing I was told was to watch what I eat. Yeah right, tell that to a 22-year-old. I now know that a lot of my digestive issues go back to having this organ removed. I have had a fatty liver and dealing with insulin resistance as well as weight gain that won't come off no matter what I try. I also had a partial hysterectomy based on an OBGYN's false recommendations. It's very disheartening to have to rely on medical professionals who don't care to explain and only look to make money. So many people are suffering and I thank you for putting your content out there for us. Do you recommend anything for the pancreas now that the GB is removed?
Hopefully you've been taking some Ox Bile Salts.
Good video, would like to see similar thoughts on gluten intolerance, seems to be an increasing number of cases
Yes! I became gluten intolerant like two years after my surgery.
