I had mine removed about 26 years ago. The surgeon was a pioneer of keyhole surgeon. I am now nearly 80 years old and have no ill effects of the removal. I recently had a heart checkup, fine, I take no blood pressure tablets, no statins. The only thing my doctor commented on was my cholesterol was on the higher side of normal.
Your comment is important. I do love his channel, BUT everyone is different. My gallbladder basically stopped doing its job for a year or so. Remember, if you have A TON of gallstones in your gallbladder, you’re already basically functioning without one. The only difference when you get it taken out is a direct flush of the fat, meaning afterwards you should improve your diet. Choose less fatty options. You don’t have to eliminate fat, just don’t have 50% of your food intake as fat, like keto. The Keto diet, and I say diet not lifestyle, is the WORST possible diet for someone with their gallbladder taken out.
Doctors found out my gallbladder is conctracted all the time and I have problems with digesting fats, no pain, all blood tests are ok and they wanted to remove it. No one told me why this thing can occur. Long story short I'm just bile deficient it seems, i begun to take bile salts and I can see results in less then a week! My doctors don't even know bile deficency is a thing... Thank you so much for videos like these! Greeting from Czech Republic :)
Most doctors are not nutritionists or dietitians. Which is ultimately sad because those two things would keep many people from coming to the doctor in the first place. Yet even if you tell people they are being unhealthy they often don't want to listen anyways until they are suffering. Prevention is key.
research the super 7 dirty genes and the dirty genes book. MTHFR and DAO variants are notorious for all the above. Dr Berg has not mentioned histamine resistance ( dirty DAO can cause histamine resistance) yet and how it impacts both digestive AND thyroid health. DAO is a different pathway that also hits digestive function.
crappycomputer77t1 how do you clean this gene. I have the MTHFR AS DO both of my parents. Mother had gallbladder removed and her digestion is awful. Started her on Ox bile and she is much improved. I also have a T4 to T3 conversion issue and want to get off thyroid meds. Going to try some ox bile salts myself. Welcome any other suggestions.
I had my gallbladder removed 2 years ago after being rushed to the Er at night in chronic pain. I have hypothyroidism and IBS. My doctor never explained anything and said I didn't need my gallbladder. Thank you for explaining and teaching us all. GOD BLESS YOU.
Tried to explain this to daughter, but she insisted in having The Surgery please pray for her she’s having many of these symptoms and still so young, thanks 🙏🏼
Mine was 10 years ago. I had a big polyp as well. And actually , i was told i had it 20 years ago but didn't follow up on it after 10 years. I did have many complications that i didn't know it was due to the polyp. I was fine after the removal of the gallbladder but after so many years i have so many symptoms that Dr. B is describing. Unreal.
My gallbladder was not identifiable as the problem for 3-4 years as I could not eat a real meal, lost weight from 130 to 87 lbs. At 87 lbs, the Dr finally saw some swelling, nothing much. He took mine out the next day, I was starving to death. I began to eat the very next morning and have eaten without pain ever since. I was drinking nutrition drinks, just stay alive. I have had the upset bowels, straightened out now. I may try supplements but I thank God for that surgeon.
Omg thank you so much, I have tried for 5 months to save my gallbladder. I have done everything. Now I am at the point where I cannot eat anything. I have been off work for 3 weeks I can't even eat porridge. I wanted to cry when I seen this video it frightened me so much because I have to have mine out and I am terrified.
I currently have dense sludge in my gallbladder and was made aware of this after going to the ER due to a gallstone clogging my bile duct. Fortunately it passed and my gallbladder wasn’t removed. They said it needs to be removed within a month. The nurse even told me “it’s just a bonus organ but we don’t need it” and I couldn’t stop thinking “there’s no way” it has to be greater than how they’re making it seem. Clearly it is! Thank you for this. I’m gonna try everything to keep my gallbladder
@@KeishaKiger I keep reading that TUDCA helps but I need to find more info.... please research it. I am supposed to have my gallbladder out on May 2nd and after seeing this, I may just cancel the surgery
Good for you! I had obstruction. I'm on small meals right now. They give you every horrible scenario, how we are ticking time bomb "flat tire". I still refused. I said I will treat myself homeopathically and I'm sure massage exists for helping to dislodge stone. Your post is encouraging. Thank you. Continued wellness to you. I believe you/ me,/ we, made a good decision for ourselves.
I had gallstones blocked in my bile duct in January. Went to ER after 2 days, I got sepsis and nearly died. After a few operations and 2 endoscopies for bile and pancreas stents I was ok. I'm I'm Australia luckily so it was all free. I was very happy with the hospital but they only mentioned not to eat large fatty meals. I have learnt alot from your video's. I am now working on my fatty liver and weight but otherwise luckily feel good. You are a weath of knowledge, thank you.👍😉🇦🇺
Same here. Before Keto I lost lots of weight. The doctors said that was or could be a reason why I got gallstones. During weight loss/rapid weight loss, talk to your doctor. You WILL need pills.
@@bubcat54 I haven't paid any personal tax for the past 5 years as I'm unable to work. As long as you are an Aussie citizen with a Medicare card, you will be looked after. I can't however get cash income benefits as my wife's works and makes income for the family. If she was on a really low wage, I'd be able to get gov assistance pay. I've worked for over 35 years and paid tax on my income but Im still getting same Medicare benefits either way whether or not I was working. We are blessed to live in Australia.👍♥️🇦🇺
I was joking of course. Nothing is free. You pay for it in taxes or in inflation which is a governments hidden tax. You payed for 35 years and now you deserve to be on the side that benefits. Cheers
I had my gall-bladder out years ago. I asked the surgeon why he couldn't just take out the stone and leave the bladder in place. He said something about 'might as well take the entire gall bladder to prevent further stones'... I said as it had taken 40 years or more for that stone to develop, I'd be happy to take my chances on another one in another 40 years, but he insisted on taking out the whole organ anyway. He was operating at a teaching hospital, and was proud to show off his 'skill' at keyhole surgery to students of surgery, so that was the method he used. I was in hospital only overnight... When I got home the next day, on TV news there was an article which informed me that a new report had shown that keyhole surgery for gall-bladder removal created a risk of dying of heart failure within 18 months which was 17.5 times (i.e. 1,750%) the risk when using the traditional surgical method. I've had trouble trusting the medical profession ever since... and that mistrust has been greatly magnified since the covid fiasco.
@@Von199X No, it's not like a balloon, which is under pressure. (I reckon you're comparing it to an inflated balloon, right?) So the sac would not explode the way a balloon would, and the hole could easily be stitched up just like any other surgical incision. No need for duct tape.
@@theseustoo i just now got my gallbladder removed and i had one of the best surgeons in my country working on me and he said that the best way to go about this is to remove gallbladder and he said that there is completely no risks and there is no reduce in life span as many many people live without it. Also like the other guy said my surgeon confirmed as well that Stones cannot be removed , whole organ has to go as the organ itself becomes infected as well from the stones inside and it doesnt work anymore as it should. You can continue argue with people about this ,but i trust the specialists not youtube comments.
@@user-ph4wi4sy2p You're entitled to your opinion, and so am I... even though YT has already deleted my response once because they evidently don't agree. I suppose I should have said that 'once upon a time' I was entitled to my own opinion... these days, not so much! Evidently! But you are apparently one of those people who believe that no-one in any position of authority would ever lie to you to improve their 'bottom line'... Naïve is one word for it. Frankly the behaviour of many medical personnel during the covid crisis has NOT improved my trust in the medical industrial complex. 'Safe and effective'? I should cocoa!
@@theseustoo bro i know the surgeon personally i even drink together with him lmao why you have to wear that foil cap that even friends and family is against you?
I had a horrible Gallbladder attacks every 3-4 weeks. GB was dysfunctional, only 17% worked. Tried everything to stop the pain and no result. Had surgery 11 years ago removed it. Still happy about it. Free from any pain!!! Feeling great 👍
Same here. My gallbladder was removed 9 years ago and had never experienced any symptoms since then. And the best part is that they took that horrible pain away. But every patient is different.
My sister had her Gallbladder removed then developed pancreatitis, acute for now; She on a low-fat diet both before and after the surgery. The sad parts are I had her try Keto and IF but after 1 month she quit... about a year later she got stones and had the GB removed. I would bet the doctors have her doing everything opposite what Berg is sharing here. Sharing this information (video) with her would give me a bunch of push back, like a sharing Christ with a devil worshiper. Thanks Dr. Berg you've changed my life for four years now and I feel great, at 60. God bless you sir!
Why they remove Gallbladder ? Why cannot they find some other solution for to clean your Gallbladder instead of removing it . Even Dentist they also are not doing good practice of Doctorate - e.g: When you go for teeth cap or crown and if it is not fitting well they will shave up your good above tooth - [These is the kind of practice they do ] . This means more problems for your good teeth as well. IT IS LIKE - If your one leg has prosthetic and if you have issues with it and if doctor is suggesting you that you cut or shave up your other good leg. Instead of working on to fix the prosthetic size. This is the world of Doctors who are giving you their wrong solution and keeping you coming back for them.

@@REM4JC i had the same suggestion, 12 years ago with 2 stones 1cm each.. I bet i still have them there, but with my diet i managed to avoid problems. I avoid: alchool, too much fats and eat too much (this to avoid pain on my right side). I can eat everything but i have to eat better. Try always to get better before is too late to do something. Eat well, train 3 times per week (30 min each) and take times for yourself.
I had my gallbladder removed 6 years ago. I was told that it was a simple and procedure. I woke up from surgery with a cough and by that evening I had was diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia. The next morning I was admitted to critical care unit with Septic Shock. I was placed on a ventilator and put in a medically induced coma. I woke up weeks later my body was totally destroyed. To this day I have yet to recover from the surgery and my body will never be the same. 6 years later... I now have multiple autoimmune diseases, Type 2 diabetes, HS, High Blood, gained 125lbs, someone please tell me how this was a safe procedure. Thank you for creating this video more people need to be educated before making life changing decisions. 🙏❤️
You probably had the pneumonia going in but being put under creates slow breathing and the pain drugs after do the same. Pneumonia is one of those rare diseases that keeps on giving.its why so many people die from pneumonia complications. The procedure was probably just the straw that broke the camel’s back.

I had my gallbladder removed last month. And I can actually eat now. For years I was only able to eat so much then I would be in serious pain nauseous and sick. I couldn’t be happier now! Thank goodness. Also it was the hardest surgery I’ve been through. But now that I have recovered I’ve noticed the difference! ❤
Same here!! I'm happy for you.🙂 I was told that if I left it in it could become cancerous because the cells can change into negative cells. I'm now pain free as well and enjoying some foods that I couldn't before. 🙏🏽
I recently got diagnosed with some gallstones. The pain was very crucial. I went to the er and a follow up with my doctor and was told that my opinion was to get it removed, but I'm scared to do so. I haven't eaten well in days cause I'm scare to eat anything. I'm afraid of that pain to come back. Any advice?
@@RaZoRBeLtRaN I’m so sorry to hear that, I would definitely consider having it removed. You’ll be so much happier. It is really scary at first. But I had my friend who’s a doctor say it’s like the wisdom teeth of the stomach, and a lot of people have it removed. Prayers for you and hope you get some better information.
@@RaZoRBeLtRaN I've had two attacks in two weeks and they said I have sludge and many small stones in my gall bladder. They recommend I have it removed. But since I'm 22 weeks pregnant, I have to wait until I deliver. I'm so nervous.
Wow this could not have come at a more perfect time! I have been struggling with hypothyroidism and had my gallbladder out 22 years ago, I never knew there was a correlation but suddenly it is starting to make sense. I have ordered the gallbladder formula and will receive it tomorrow. I am hoping this will address the balancing of my digestive system which will allow my thyroid to heal. I have tried everything. The medical profession is broken, my doctor should have put this together and assisted me years ago, instead of just putting me on TSH and telling me I will need to take this the rest of my life! Thank you Dr. Berg, you are a Godsend!
Thanks for this inormative video! I've been studying gallballders after having my own issues as I'm trying to keep mine. I'm no doctor! Two other possible complications I've noticed people complain about that they had to address after surgery are issues relating to sphincter of the oddi and celiac disease, not to mention life altering diarrhea. I found a message board for victims of gallbladder removal surgery where they post their devasting stories and it's really heartbreaking. I hate how some surgeons just tell people 'you don't really need it' and don't do enough IMO to really prepare people. I even found a woman who said she got pancreatitis in the hospital after surgery and she is now hospitalized a few times a year with it and it never went away. Thank you so much for hopefully helping people to better informed about ALL aspects. Some people have said they were lying in a hospital bed post-surgery STILL having gallbladder attacks. They don't tell you that stones can still form in bile ducts so the problem doesn't always go away!
I had my gallbladder removed 2years ago due to a tumor, not stones or sludge. I haven’t had a problem since removal. I do take some bile salts when I remember. Not very consistent.
@@teeduck this! I had stones and had mine taken out. You only prolong the inevitable when you delay with methods like this as they do not just disappear and you will always be at risk of passing a stone that gets stuck! That’s when other damage can occur on removal
@@denisemartin3603 Good question. Dr. Berg says that bile decreases with age. So, at my age, I figure mine has decreased, so I take digestive enzymes with every meal. Easy remedy.
Same for me - never regret having it out. Same for Tonsils - suffered with them for years but they would never take them out :/ Since a child! Only just had them out last year and best thing I ever did. Only regret I had was being forced to wait until an adult before doing it. You can't hang onto diseased organs in your body "just because". You end up being poisoned.

OMG I needed this info 29 years ago had gallbladder removed and that created need for whipple procedure 10 years later such a dreadful experience. Still alive forging forward thanks so much for this video. I shared.
About 6 years ago I had been having constant pain across the bottom of my rib cage. One day it became unbearable along with sharp pain in my right shoulder blade. I went to the ER and they diagnosed gallstones. It was a friday and they scheduled me for a follow up with primary care the following Monday. I spent the weekend learning what a gallbladder is. Thats when i found Dr. Berg. I've been learning ever since and implementing healthy eating changes, which has been a challenge. I found out I had non-alcoholic fatty liver from poor eating. Using the gallbladder formula and other supplements and adopting intermittent fasting helped. I'm leaning towards keto now. The pain, often severe, continued periodically over the years, getting much less frequent every year. I havent had any gallbladder related pain now for 10 months. The best part is that the pain alerted me to a problem and i was able to find information to help me implement changes. With a better understanding of my body and health I can make better choices. My primary care recommended removal of gallbladder. I refused. I dont know if that decision is right for anyone else, but it has worked for me.
Paul Brodie glad you stuck it out! Doctors aren't taught how necessary gallbladders are in medical school. What can you expect when their handbook was written by Merck Pharmaceuticals? I was very young when I had my problems and had it removed. Wish I would have know all the problems that would cause! Surgeons are only happy when they get to cut you, based on my experience. Stay well.
I had to have mine out, and it was very bad before I wondered what was wrong with me. I had pancreatitis also and stones all over, but I was surprised how many people have had their gallbladder out, but if I could have avoided it and known earlier I would have tried very hard to avoid it.
Great video! Thank you Dr. Eric Berg, I've been following you for years and have made adjustments in my eating habits as well. The longer I've watched you the more my diet has changed. You're ability to bring these videos to us, the viewing public, does help masses of people extremely. Thank God you've been able to as the regular doctors that humans go to don't have enough knowledge on being well without their routine big pharma drugs for the rest of a person's life. It's a game to keep you hooked on their legalized drug sales. I'm getting my health back without the drugs, little by little and I can see a future in totally great health, hopefully running like a kid again. You are one reason for my health returning and being OMAD for 5 months now.
I appreciate this information Dr. Berg my doctor said nothing about any of this before surgery. My options were die without the procedure. The doctor literally lied to me saying I didn't need my gallbladder or it not being a significant organ when in fact it's a very important organ. I've been binge watching your video's and you're the ONLY Doctor who actually explained everything I was experiencing with that surgery. I'm going to take notes and do what you said Doc. I find it disheartening to know some Healthcare professionals give patients disinformation just to make money.
And healthcare is getting worse year by year. Almost all doctors say yes to surgery just to get reimbursed for their services. Even if it's not recommended
One of the best videos on gall bladder post surgery! Very thorough and knowledgeable. Dr. Berg you are doing a great work towards humanity. God bless your kind soul, Amen.
Dear Dr. Berg, I want to know what to do if there is too much bile in the system and specially at night when stomach is empty it comes up in the throat and mouth and wakes me up at 3 in the morning. My mouth is too sour at the time. When I drink some water it feels better. This is going on for long now. Even though I have elevated my head side bed 6" with bed risers, it doesn't help. My teeth are getting effected and my gums are burning. Please help!
Dr Berg my ex’s mother has excruciating pain, daily. She ate a giant bottle of Lysine, and I think the Lysine built up n gave her food poisoning. They took her gallbladder, the did Whipple surgery, then pancreas and spleen removal. She’s a pin cushion and is overdosing on HUGE amounts of creatine, like 6 pills per small meal! Now, they’re so tired of constant Emergency room visits, etc, etc, they just said she has 2 small spots on her lungs, and not sure which cancer, yet. PLEASE, Dr Berg, ANY help??? PLEASE, PLEASE
Very timely and informative video for me. I had my gallbladder removed more than ten years ago but until now, I still suffer from frequent diarrhea. Trusted my doctor who told me that it was not needed and I can function fully without it. Regretted my decision..
So what would you do if you had been told that gallbladder is an important organ would you not go for the surgery, I mean there is no alternative options other then the surgery even today if you have stones in gallbladder you must go for the surgery, there is no other way to remove just the stones.
@@JahangirAlom-no9ff I would've removed my right arm to get rid of that pain. It's so bad that you're not even in the right mindset to care about alternatives honestly.
Dr. Berg, I had to have my gallbladder removed on May 31,2024. After surgery I felt so happy to be rid of it. Then a few days ago I started having pain in my right side and right side of my back. I think I may need some bile salts or something to regulate things. Thank you so much for making these videos.♥️ It’s so helpful.💯
@@CMoore8539 yes I was told by an integrative dr to use bile salts. Just wish I never had the surgery. Now my common sense kicks in. There is a reason for every part of the body. The medical profession tells us we can live without out gallbladder’s but now I know it’s just a plan for depopulation.
Thank you so much for your quality teaching about this subject. You are the first medical professional I have ever heard call the gallbladder a "very important organ." I had my gallbladder removed in 2014, and I've had so many health issues since the surgery. Watching your videos have truly helped me understand the importance of consuming the right foods and supplements.
I would love if he also brought in how the birth control pills mess up all these organs too! To me it was common sense to not play with that stuff...to turn off human life, it's gonna harm the bigger body (mom's) and kill the smaller one (pregnancy). Huge connection between gallbladder and contraception.
This was an interesting video. It came up on my feed when I Googled gall bladder surgery. However, I don’t have gallstones. I have a gall bladder polyp. My mother died of gall bladder cancer, so I’m off to a specialist to determine the next move, which will likely mean gall bladder removal before the polyp grows and/or morphs into cancer. Gall stones are pretty common and no doubt plenty of people are interested in this video content. There are other people who may need the surgery for other health reasons. Find out as much as you can about the condition you’ve been diagnosed with. Doctors are opting for gall bladder removal for stones not because they are greedy, but to alleviate your pain and prevent more serious conditions such as pancreatitis and damage to the bile ducts. So the organ IS important but if it is not functioning, you have an issue to address. That might be dietary, but it might be surgical. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Management of post gall-bladder surgery is something that is perhaps lacking.
Mind blown! No one has ever connected Sibo to lack of bile. I’m crying right now…Thank you for helping me to be able to help myself once and for all. I’ve spent so much time and money trying to cure mine and now I have the answer
Get Andreas Moritz' book on gallbladder and liver flush, very useful advice even if your gallbladder is removed. And join facebook groups, there are many people in your situation and you can look for advice to get better
It's a the utmost VICIOUS cycle ! TOO MUCH trust in the so called medicalpimpswhitecoat! these mpwc works as a team which make 10K of thousands of dollars/20 minutes per whitecoat for every removal, ~3-10 removal/day! So the FRENZIED EXCITEMENT everytime a PREY can be a candidate, though 100% UNNECESSARY, of these mpwc!!!!
Thank God I found your videos! Looking back I think my problems started in high school with stress taxing my adrenals. My life since then has been one medical issue after another, doctors adding 1 more pill everything I went seemed like. I'm happy to report it's like you know my body and we've never met! Over the years I've tried to put some of what you are saying together but my doctors always telling me I'm wrong a d here's another pill. I've been not strictly keto but definitely omad for about a month with fantastic results! I'm off all my meds and I feel absolutely wonderful. This is the longest I've been able to maintain a good mood daily for longer than 2 days! Keep the videos coming, I'm considering becoming a nutritionist because of all this! Thank you so very much!
Thank you very much, Dr. Berg. My sister had her GB removed a few days ago that I forwarded this perfect video for her to take care of herself from now on. Thanks again, Dr. Berg🙏

Thank you for this advice. I had two gallbladder attacks a few years ago. I drank apple cider vinegar and lemon juice straight up, which relieved the pain within 20 minutes. I mentioned this to the surgeon who later performed my gallbladder surgery. He had never heard of this before. It does work! My brother had similar symptoms with relief after using Apple cider vinegar. Unfortunately it didn’t take care of my problem long term. I wish I had seen your video before surgery. It may have saved my gallbladder and me from an extremely painful surgery.
Thank you, thank you so much for this video ! I had my gallbladder removed due to gallstones 7 years ago. And my doctor told me that I need to start a low fat diet even though my cholesterol is very low. I have suffered from chronic diarrhea for 6 years until I have started if and low carb. My diarrhea literally vanished. We need to treasure these doctors like Eric who spreads the truth.
9 years I’ve suffered with chronic diarrhea after surgery and eye issues. Been through MRI’s, eye doctor, GI doc and nothing found. I’m so grateful I found this video.
Mine burst in a car accident, health plummeted afterwards, especially with digestion of fats and sugars. Learning to compensate now. Thank you for the most important work you do !!!! There's a pandemic of ignorance right now.
Thx Dr Berg, I ignorantly had my gallbladder removed 30 years ago. I developed issues from not absorbing the fat soluble vitamins and neuropathy. I found your educational videos about this 7 years ago. I was able to reverse my neuropathy and fatty liver thx to you Dr Berg. Thank you dearly. Jeff from NC
This is very reassuring . I had my gallbladder removed 2 months ago and I’ve been quite depressed with worrying do’s and don’ts after surgery. I’ve changed my eating habits and haven’t had any issues so far. I love how informative Dr. Berg videos are but they sometimes leave you feeling helpless, hopeless and in a state of doom. Thanks for sharing, everyone is different I guess. It’s good to hear of people who’s had the surgery and are totally fine years afterwards.
@@LikeNoOther251 you’ll be ok. In fact I know people who have died for refusing the surgery. You made the right choice. My gallstone was so huge that it wasn’t going to be dissolved with anything. Had my removed 12 years ago. Cases are always different.
Ive heard gallbladders removed lathroscopicly, 3 tiny holes, seem to have more complications after surgery. Mine was removed in 2019, still having problems.
Last year I started getting stomach cramps every 2-3 weeks. I went to the doctor and found out that I have gallstones and the doctor wanted to remove my gallbladder. But I was against it because I really believe that there must be another way. The ultrasound showed little stones and the Liver seemed ok. Luckily I found your channel and Videos. Thank to you I started taking bile salts and since then I did not have any stomach pain again. For many years I had extreme dry eyes every morning and needed eye drops otherwise i couldn’t open them. But after taking bile salts for only 2 weeks my eyes are much better. I don’t need the drops anymore. Thank you Dr. Berg !!

YOU SHOULD DO A VIDEO ABOUT ALL THE GOOD VITAMINS AND WHERE TO GET THEM. IN FOOD OR A PURE SOURCE SUPPLEMENT. I KNOW YOU SELL SOME OF THEM, BUT OTHERS I DONT KNOW WHERE TO BUY THEM. I AM FOLLOWING ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND ITS SAVING MY LIFE, BUT I NEED QUALITY SUPPLEMENTS.
Donated my Liver and they removed my gallbladder, problems ever since! Need all your videos, I was never told by any of the doctors before or after, why I had so many problems, and NO advice. Thank you!
thank you, dr Berg. i've learned that gallbladder isnt an excess to the body, but instead it is a key to good health. i would like to say, you are such a great doctor...with concern, care and a good intention to people. may you stay safe and healthy and also the whole of your family.
This video is so freaking awesome and comprehensive. Thank you Dr. Berg. I’m sorry you suffered with things but it’s such a blessing to the rest of us that you have the personal experience that drives your knowledge. I so wish I had known years ago about keto and the dangers of mainstream medicine and the importance of nutrition. We’ve been mislead our whole lives about so many things. Out of all my education I remember learning about hormones in a sexual way and that’s pretty much it. It wasn’t until two years ago that I started digging and learning about all of our hormones which are so vital to us. I lost my gallbladder a long time ago and wish I would have known it wasn’t just useless, which I figured God didn’t just give us something useless, but I believed mainstream medicine at the time. At any rate, I’ve been suffering with some of the deficiency symptoms lately and just severe fatigue after being keto for a couple years and unable to figure out why and what I’m doing wrong. Also, stuck in about a 6-9 month plateau no matter what I do. After watching your videos on the gallbladder, I have a feeling my body isn’t getting the nutrients I’m trying to give it bc I don’t have a gallbladder anymore. Im about to get some bile salts and see if they make a difference for me. I heavily appreciate what you do. I feel like your videos are really to teach us something instead of just promote stuff. Thank you.
Actually most doctors do not recommend the Keto diet. The diet industry does. Basically process food is not good for our body especially inthe amounts American tend to eat them in. But who does not. But the fact that 50% of American are obese is basically nothing but people fault also. No one stops anyone from learning if you really want to learn somethink.. Who stopped you from learning Basics about a proper diet. No one stopped you from seeing a dietitians if you wanted to eat a better diet.. It is really not that hard and was something I learn about when I was 14 years old because I want to do better in my sport. My Mom also wanted to lose some weight.. so we went to the libery and then talked to a dietitian who help us come up with a plan geared toward our likes and lifestyle.. Basically I get sort of tired of people blaming doctor, pharma, society, McDonald's or whatever when someone did not bother to spend any quality time to get educated on a subject from reputable sources. For example looking at some actually book for dietitians or doctors. Back then you could find stuff at your local references section in you local library. Also medicine is always changing and sometime taking a organ is taken out because of complications that could happened if it stays in could be worse then removing the organ. But the bottom line unless you are unconscious no one forced you to have that organ taken out. I know every doctor see something a little bit differently and zi want to make sure zi am making choices that I feel comfortable with and not feel like something I was talked into. But again that is about watching out for yourself and just doing you due diligence. I am responsible for the choice I make, not others.. Again there are so many factors on where that line is on should surgery should be done or not. I am just amazed how many people will have a a doctor d surgery on them and they do not even check I they have any complaint against them in the state boards. I have had gallstones for years and there is really not that much you can do about them. But I was told 10 years ago that they could remove my gallstone and prevent a bunch of problem. Well I knew the gallstone has a purpose and I went to the library and did some research. Upon asking my doctor about the purpose of the surgery and the risk of surgery and long term effect and not having it, I choose to leave it since I was causing me no pain or issues. I still have my gallbladder and gallstone and have no pain or symptoms. Doctor also sort of go by the averages. They do not know exactly how well someone will do with anything until it happened. After my research, I basically eat little process food, my BMI weight and height normal healthy size. I am a disable Veteran so my exercise is sort of limited but again that would no be a excuse to be obese or not take care of the rest of my body the best I can. I find most American just eat trash, take horrible care of there body and then expect doctor to cure them with a pill or magic surgery. Doctor also do not have 3 hours to hold someone hand who does nothing the doctor does anyway.. Half the time I do not even know why people bother going to the doctor to begin with if they are no going to take there suggestion in improving there health.. No one stops you learning, but your lack of initiative entitlement that it is everyone job to teach you. Learn to stand up for yourself and get those questions asked and answered. When you go to the doctor he is there to help you and not the other way around. If you feel that your doctor does not want you input in your own body or seem insulted by questions you have, then find another doctor.
I just got my box of cholestryome powder, same as bile salts, and my insurance paid 100%, when i get home this evening im starting them, im praying for releif
I really love how I was never warned of most of these complications before I had my gallbladder out in 2017. Here I am 5 years later dull ache is back in the same spot as when I had a gallbladder.
I had my Gallbladder out about six years ago. I still get some pains on the right side and also have hernia issue s… ugh I get rib pain and the G I Dr keeps saying it’s muscle spasms… jerks
They may have not closed off the bile duct completely. Happened to me, had a ct scan. Only option is to go back in and have it closed. Since I changed my diet don’t have the fantom gallbladder attacks any longer
This is phenomenal information. I am 41 and have been suffering digestive issues for 20+ years. I have all the symptoms of massive pain in my right shoulder/trap area. Inflammation in my right arm and pain after eating under my right rib cage. I have never tried bile salts! I am hopeful and going to give it a go because nothing else has helped my GERD and digestion…. Also thanking the b1, d3 and HCL combo. THANK YOU!!
I got my gallbladder removed back in March 2023 because of the infections crawling around in my stomach making it painful to move around. Then a month later, I have no infections coming back or any other health issues ever since. I still can do anything before end up at the ER.
Omg I can’t believe you up loaded this video on gall bladder today . My grandma had her gallbladder removed on the 7th of October . She has been fine up until a week ago saying that she has pain in her upper abdomen every time she eats , and when she takes her medication. The pain is increasing everyday . Taking her to the drs tomorrow . I hope they can see what is going on or I’m going to show them your video . I really hope she is going to be okay . This video has made me think that something must be happening post surgery .
That's a very good Idea, to show all doctors(the wotld) , and to stop saying, it's ok to remove the galbladder. NO IT'S NOT🆗🆗🆗, OK!!!! Thanks Dr. Berg. Your doing a great job. ♥️
It happened to me, 8 years ago I had my gallbladder removed, but they didn’t tell me that it got complicated and they left a piece of my gallbladder there. On June 11, 2024 I got the pain to the point that I had to go to the emergency room, I had a gallstone on the bile duct and I have a cyst on the piece of gallbladder that was left, I have surgery on August to remove completely the gallbladder and the cyst that is full of bile, doctors said they had never seen a case like mine because the cyst took place like it’s it was a gallbladder, this time I’m gonna have open surgery and I am nervous because last time it was laparoscopic surgery it was little incisions 😢
Despite the advice .I will not have my gallbladder removed. I have had a couple of hide a scans but still have my gallbladder! I believe its very essential. Thank Dr. Berg another great teaching!
My gallbladder was completely full of stones and several traveled and got stuck in the biliary tree. This is common for people who have chronic Lyme disease. My Lyme doc put me on bile salts right away after my surgery. That was 20 years ago and I am thankful it was removed. The pain was unreal.
Just passed onto my brother as his daughter is booked for surgery! Because....Drum roll....The Doctors stated it serves no purpose....OMG...To be explained how something like this plays an importance and so clearly is truly once again A Life saver. A Million thank you's Dr Berg. What an inspiration.....
Will keep all this in mind, but after several gallbladder attacks, the last two sending me to the ER literally screaming, I do not want to have another one, and my diet has never been an issue, always well balanced.
Hi Dr Berg, Thank you for answering a recent comment of mine. Listening to your content is starting to change my life. My question today is what can I do to absorb vitamin D (and probably other vitamins) without a gallbladder?
Thank you Dr. Berg for educating us about the gallbladder. I'm a diabetic who was diagnosed with a fatty liver, (I take a liver detox supplement)...I've started to watch how many carbs I intake daily, I check labels now, I was advised to ONLY consume 21 grams of sugar daily...this IS HARD for me🙁🤦🏽♀️ & I TRY to STAY AWAY FROM DIARY. I've switched over to Oat milk. Which is VERY good! Dr. Felco, (a gallbladder specialist surgeon), is hell bent on cutting on my body to remove my gallbladder because a few times the gallstones were seriously hurting me. After hearing that he & his team performed HUNDREDS of gallbladder removals with much success, 🙄🤦🏽♀️I would be ok & he did tell me that I would have diarrhea FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!🤯🤯For me not to worry about the diarrhea... he would put me on a medication that will help me out with that. Uhhhh, no thanks buddy! 🤨 I asked if there were other ways for me to help get rid of the stones...he told me NO. He went on to say, that there were NO MEDICATIONS OR SURGERIES to take out the gallstones or to dissolve them. If I'm having constant pain, schedule a surgery. 😒 I had a look of disgust & disappointment on my face after Dr. Felco told me that. Not to mention, he was RUDE about how he told me. 🙄 It felt as if he was trying to convince me into having surgery...like I was a 💰 moneybag in his eyes & not a person. Wow!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯....Some doctors just do not have bedside manners....& he's most definitely one of them.🙄🤨 Even if I agreed to surgery, I WOULDN'T HAVE HIM DO IT!!😒 *I got a VERY BAD vibe from this man* So I decided I wasn't going to get it. I'm glad I seen the notification for this video. I'm going to pull up this video to show my PCP, Dr. Lee and go from there. Thanks again Dr. Berg for this VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO! *I appreciate you* 🙏💖🙏💖🙏
Dr told me it was impossible to remove gallstones without surgery. I proved him wrong. I brought the stones to him. He didn't believe it was my stones. He gave me a free ultrasound. He was 😲.
@@icediamonds11 I drank 2 oz of olive oil 2 oz of fresh squeezed lemon juice mixture For Breakfast Lunch and Supper. Laid on my right side after for half hour to an hour. I also drink pure100% unsweetened apple juice through out day I also took a herbal laxative before drink the lemon and oil drink to make the stone flush out better. On my 2nd & 3rd day The stones were coming out in my bowel movements. More on the 3rd day I Kept doing the procedure until stones stops. The internet has different ways to remove the stones
Yeah I had my gallbladder removed in 2004. I also have hiatal hernia. No one told me any of these things. I am a senior and retired not expired. I work out don't drink don't smoke and take a brisk walk for least 2 miles a day thank you for your content 🙏✝️👍🇺🇲
Had emergency gallbladder surgery in May to remove a gangrenous gallbladder that was so infected and full of gallstones. Some stones were the size of shooter marbles. It had to be drained before removal because it was so infected and distended. I was never given any information in regards to this. I'm suffering from the sulpher burps, bile salt diarrhea, bloating. It's miserable. You mentioned thyroid issues. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 15 years ago. Never had any diagnosed gallbladder issues. My thyroid went to the extreme hyper side and I went into a thyroid storm. It was caught early enough that it didn't begin to shut down my organs. I've had almost all of these symptoms for years prior to my hypothyroidism diagnosis. Thank you for all of your time and information.
But he did not discuss or disclose the process of a gallbladder cleanse. I saved my gallbladder with a simple, inexpensive three day cleanse that can be done at home. I can send you the information if you are interested.
Wow! Great video! It makes so much sense, especially the link between the gallbladder/bile and the liver, pancreas and thyroid. I have T2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, high cholesterol and gallstones. I have no pain (yet) but is there a way to get rid of gallstones? You mentioned bile salts to help with sludge but what about breaking down the stones for a healthier gallbladder?
@@Jana-pm3nj Why they remove Gallbladder ? Why can not they find some other solution for to clean your Gallbladder instead of removing it .

Thank you for this thorough explanation! I was told I needed gallbladder surgery but opted to manage it with apple cider vinegar and wheat grass powder!
Same here. After reading an article on the benefits of using Apple Cider Vinegar & Wheat grass powder when dealing with a problematic GB, I literally walked out of hospital in 2021 when the doctors kept scaring me that I’d die if I didn’t have the GB removed! What was even more scarier was that they kept saying the GB is a useless organ & that I should have it swiftly removed as a matter of urgency! I trusted my gut instinct & asked for the Self-Discharge Form, which the doctors dilly-dallied to give me, and they even got pretty upset with me to the point of bullying me to change my mind & proceed with the GB removal surgery! I removed my cannula, packed my duffel bag, handed my completed Self-Discharge Form to an irate-looking staff member at the Nurses’ Station before darting out of the place 🏃♂️🏃🏼🏃♂️🏃🏼 to catch a taxi outside the hospital. I’m so immensely proud that I saved my life from a myriad of health problems (had I allowed my GB to be removed!). I still take my daily Apple Cider Vinegar & Wheat Grass powder to date (May 2024) & I’ve never experienced any more GB issues ever since! 👍🏻
I'm 2 weeks post op. I'm grieving too. I did not want the surgery but my husband said just get it over with. I regret listening to him bc I saw my report and it said no gallstones found and I passed them. I am crying every day.
I wish I would’ve stumbled upon this before gallbladder surgery. I only had 2 stones but was in so much pain (like child labor, I seriously can’t pick which one hurt more.🥲) I am thankful for this information Dr.Berg. I will supplement and do what I can for my body while I’m here on Earth. You are appreciated Sir!🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️♥️
Same here but with stuck mini boulders on my kidneys......trying to pass, urine caused toxicity in my blood -- all because doctors told me to stop my magnesium which would have helped. I learned my lesson. I think if the pain in the childbirth is better because you have a beautiful child at the end. Stones? .... :)
I feel the same, wishing I would have been aware of this video when I had my gallbladder removed over 10 yrs ago. I used to be in extreme pain. Like u stated, my pain was as severe as labor pains. Although I had my gallbladder removed I wasn’t informed of this vital information Dr. Berg is presenting. He is truly a blessing & I have been paying attention. I have started intermittent fasting, stopped eating sugary foods/drinks, processed foods, & drastically reduced carbs. I feel great. Now I have to make sure I’m including the appropriate vitamins & minerals to increase my chances of living a healthy lifestyle as I get older. I’m 48, 5’2 & 204lbs. Down 12 lbs since 10/31/22.
I thought the same thing the moment I had pain. Next day after planning to change my diet I started suffering from Malaise, had extreme pain next day and went to the ER. Turns out my gallbladder was half dead when they removed it. Any longer and it would have killed me.
Dr. Berg is trying to help us. ❤His preventative measures are gold. Most drs just wait until you suffer then cut instead of thorough exams. Berg is telling us about early warning signs, prevention, and what to do if gallbladder removal negatively impacts us. Thank you.
BRAVO, excellent video…Having my gallbladder removed some years ago,(~20yr), I wasn’t informed that I needed bile salts…thanks to your informing videos I NOW take TUDCA before a meal which has lessened the cramping on my right side…A question I have is can I take TUDCA with/milk thistle ? I had a Fibroscan done before contracting COVID which showed a fatty liver (3.2, 180)
I had my gallbladder removed 13 months ago. I didn't have a choice. I lived with gall stone flare ups as long as I could until gall bladder became too painful. However, Ive been in and out of the emergency room. Blood pressure soars, headaches, nausea, confusion. They thought cardiac problems, but it was having my gallbladder removed. I never had nausea even when I had a bout of vertigo. Now I'm having it all the time. The type of nausea that brings you to your knees. Its freaking sad that Im the one that has to tell my doctor what's wrong with me
My dad, 64, almost perfect health, was diagnosed with GB stones which is apparently very common. 2 years later passed away due to GB cancer (into liver). It is apparently rare that GB stones causes cancer but it increases the risk and if someone is diagnosed with this cancer, they more than likely have history of stones. So unless you monitor regularly, in hindsight due to what I witnessed, its advisable to get it removed if you have stones. It could also be affected by your ethnicity. Just a warning of sorts.
Went to ER bc of severe pain. Had CT scan, Sonogram, blood taken, lots of questions & pressing on my abdomen . After 5 hours, was told " You're ok" by the physician, I left, with the same pain & weakness. (Trusted the Dr. , He said I was " ok") Back to ER a few days later. Another CT scan. I had gallstones by then. Admitted Fri. night, no surgery until Wed. afternoon, with a drain & stayed overnight. A mean & nasty nurse in the "Recovery" room. Was told nothing re: diet/ nutrition, just a bill.. I appreciate your informational video!
I had my gallbladder removed. I had issues with stones. When I had surgery the Dr told me I had gangrene in my gallbladder. I don’t know how that happened! But I was told if I didn’t have had surgery I would of died. Thank you Dr Berg for what you do!
@@prudhvibojja2381 My health could be better but it is ok. I’m happy not to be dealing with the pain that I was going through. I’m thankful that I got the surgery otherwise I would be dead.
Barely watching this video. Thank you very much for sharing about the after surgery as well. I got my gallbladder removed in 2012 as an emergency procedure. Since then, no more pain but watching your video is an eye opening. My vision is bad, I'm always feeling tense and need massages on my shoulder pads especially the right side. I get cramps literature in my right abs! I'm a very calm person, I try no to stress and these problems persist in me. Now I'm 50 and I wanted t9 assume it was because of my age, I don't think so. Plus I've gained lots of weight. What do you recommend me? I didn't know I need a bile supplement, the doctor never told me that. I will check what you mentioned in the video. Thanks again and God bless you and protect you for many many year to come.
I was curious about this topic because someone I know had their gb removed. Not surprised Dr. Berg has a video on it! The wealth of information on your channel is amazing.
I was determined to have my gall bladder removed but after but l decided to do ketogenic diet lm on a keto diet and ever since then l have no gall b bladder pain l no longer need to worry about gall bladder problem
This was very informative! Thank you so much for this video! Doctors removed mine when I was 22. Non functional. Have had problems ever since with no real help since. I just met with an amazing chiropractor that is teaching this and has helped me more in the first week, than I have had in my last 20+ years of suffering. This gave great insight. Explained in terms I understand!
Thank you Dr Berg! I had bariatric surgery 22 years ago & have recently had mild pain when I sleep at night. I'm doing everything I can to keep my gallbladder.
This is a great video and helps me connect the dots a little more to my health issues I experienced about 10 years ago, which led me to having my gallbladder removed. The only thing I disagree with is eating the Keto diet. It doesn’t work for everyone. I feel amazing on a low fat vegan diet. I have a really hard time digesting higher fatty things. I feel sluggish and my digestion suffers. I feel awful on a keto diet.
This video is 2 yts old and 4 days ago it saved my life. 10 months ago diagnosed with gastritis from taking antibiotics. For 10 months ive had extreme nausea, neck pain, constipation, dizziness and extreme burning stomach. No doctor thought of my gallbladder. Just wanted to give me more antib iotic for h lylori which i didnt have and ppi which i refused to take Went and got tudca and bile salts. In 24 hrs my extreme nausea went away, dizziness went away and neck pain got better. In 4 days the buring stomach is gone. That you Dr Berg for all you do and helping humanity. Sending you so much gratitude and love. How long does tudca take to thin bile? Thank u Dr Berg, i had every symptom you mwntioned in this video and im now healing becuase of you

Thank you so much Dr Berg. I had passed a stone from my gallbladder naturally and my gastroenterologist wanted to remove my gallbladder and I refused to do so. Thank you for this educational video because now I have the information I need to refuse such surgery in the future should I have any problems. It was very informative and very relevant to my health so thank you and keep up the good work!!
@@JahangirAlom-no9ff I simply waited patiently and although only slightly painful as a nurse I’ve seen far too many gall bladders removed unnecessarily. I wish you luck should you have them.
@@joanijackson3108 I have 2-3 mm two stones in gallbladder but i haven't experienced any pain yet and some says it's dengerous to live with GB stones because it can block bile duct or pancreas, so now I am super confused wheather i should go for the surgery or not.
@@JahangirAlom-no9ff as a nurse and a patient I suffered pancreatitis which was horrifically painful requiring an urgent trip to the emergency department. I was on morphine and test results showed I had gall stones. However I opted to remain on pain relief and try to pass them myself. Another X-ray days later revealed that I had passed the stones as my gall bladder duct was stretched. However! you can have a less invasive surgery which is done as a laparoscopy whereby they insert a tube and suck them out. Have you discussed this with your dr.?
Dr. Berg, like many I had my gall bladder removed 21 years ago along with gallstones size of a golf ball that were finally removed with third surgery. 10 years ago I had another gallstone removed that caused me to turn yellow plus very ill. Your explanation makes a huge difference understanding the whole problem. Other than starting the keto diet and other things you suggested is ok to take organic yogurt since is soothing after I eat. I have developed a severe skin rash 7 months ago which I had a hard time getting rid off even with strong meds. In addition I come from a Chiropractic family my ex, my daughter, Son in law, nephews, uncles to name a few. I am not one but Chiropractic comes first to prevent symptoms. You are amazing by providing us with information on how to understand how our body functions. Thank you for all of your help. Andrea
Hi I read your comment and was just wondering did your rash ever go away and if so what did you do to help it,I've been dealing with a rash for about 4 to 5 months now I take zyrtec every other day and it helps but it does come back, not sure if it's from gallbladder removal thank you for any info you have..
This is the best and most comprehensive video I have seen about the gallbladder! Thank you Dr. Berg! 🙏 Would you please talk about biliary dyskinesia. I believe it has to be with the motility of the gallbladder. How to treat this? Love & light! ❤️
My Gallbladder was gangrenous when removed, if it wasn't removed the doctor said I would have only lasted a couple of days, after watching your video you have scared the life out of me and many others like me, congratulations.
Very eye opening. Loving your videos Dr Berg 💞. I know lots of people who will benefit from this video. May you continue doing what you do so AMAZINGLY!
Hello Dr Berg. Thank you for your videos , your teaching, your kindness. Last week , i saked a question about gallstones and i have already got my answer. You are very kind. Thank you again! May GOD bless you.
I recently went to the Emergency Room in Pain and had distended abdomen. ER referred me to the surgeon following the CT scan and ultrasound which discovered abdominal hernia and thickening wall of the gallbladder. I am having a HIDA scan on the 27th and surgery on the 28th of December. Gallbladder is to be removed dependent on scan results. Glad I found this video.
Some years ago I had emergency gallbladder surgery at 3AM because my gallbladder was about to burst. I had a stone stuck in the common bile duct which lead to my gallbladder swelling up like a balloon. If your gallbladder bursts you become septic and then you die. I ended up with a 10" abdominal incision and was in the hospital for 13 days. NOT FUN! Initially, I experienced some adverse GI effects, but over the years my body seems to have adjusted to not having a gallbladder.
Dr. Berg is out here saving us from the medical system one video at a time. Thank you dr. Berg.
@@palpal6108 Bell Peppers ARE an approved KETO veggie.
Absolutely agree with that!! I stay away from doctors when at all possible! Prefer to research it myself.
Exactly 👏🏽
Yes indeed. His videos have become more important at a time where medical corruption is at an all time high.
Glad to help!

Just listening reminds me how truly amazing the design of the human body is, and how endlessly brilliant the creator is.
Amen to that
Lol some don’t believe in God, but we know better. ;)
I thought the same thing.
Indeed! And we ought to be greatful for what we have been gifted with.
Jesus is not God. God is not human.
I had mine removed about 26 years ago. The surgeon was a pioneer of keyhole surgeon. I am now nearly 80 years old and have no ill effects of the removal. I recently had a heart checkup, fine, I take no blood pressure tablets, no statins. The only thing my doctor commented on was my cholesterol was on the higher side of normal.
Thank you for your comment.
Good,for you!!!! That is so great. I wish I knew more about your lifestyle!❤❤❤
From what I can tell it all depends on each and every individual everybody is different so far I’ve been good with my removal
Your comment is important. I do love his channel, BUT everyone is different. My gallbladder basically stopped doing its job for a year or so. Remember, if you have A TON of gallstones in your gallbladder, you’re already basically functioning without one. The only difference when you get it taken out is a direct flush of the fat, meaning afterwards you should improve your diet. Choose less fatty options. You don’t have to eliminate fat, just don’t have 50% of your food intake as fat, like keto. The Keto diet, and I say diet not lifestyle, is the WORST possible diet for someone with their gallbladder taken out.
Your thoughts on the Gerson koffee enema?
Doctors found out my gallbladder is conctracted all the time and I have problems with digesting fats, no pain, all blood tests are ok and they wanted to remove it. No one told me why this thing can occur. Long story short I'm just bile deficient it seems, i begun to take bile salts and I can see results in less then a week! My doctors don't even know bile deficency is a thing... Thank you so much for videos like these! Greeting from Czech Republic :)
Most doctors are not nutritionists or dietitians. Which is ultimately sad because those two things would keep many people from coming to the doctor in the first place. Yet even if you tell people they are being unhealthy they often don't want to listen anyways until they are suffering. Prevention is key.
research the super 7 dirty genes and the dirty genes book. MTHFR and DAO variants are notorious for all the above. Dr Berg has not mentioned histamine resistance ( dirty DAO can cause histamine resistance) yet and how it impacts both digestive AND thyroid health. DAO is a different pathway that also hits digestive function.
Glad you are figuring this out::))
crappycomputer77t1 how do you clean this gene. I have the MTHFR AS DO both of my parents. Mother had gallbladder removed and her digestion is awful. Started her on Ox bile and she is much improved. I also have a T4 to T3 conversion issue and want to get off thyroid meds. Going to try some ox bile salts myself. Welcome any other suggestions.
Where do you buy good bile salts??? Any recommendations
I had my gallbladder removed 2 years ago after being rushed to the Er at night in chronic pain. I have hypothyroidism and IBS. My doctor never explained anything and said I didn't need my gallbladder. Thank you for explaining and teaching us all. GOD BLESS YOU.
Tried to explain this to daughter, but she insisted in having The Surgery please pray for her she’s having many of these symptoms and still so young, thanks 🙏🏼
Same.
Yes I had the same experience.
Same. Wish they would've explained things. They said it was a useless organ.
I know several people that have been told by their doctors that that the gallbladder wasn't important.
I feel we are blessed to have this information at no cost.
Yes, thank you!
....FOR REAL!!!
Weren’t told any of this information when I had my gallbladder removed 23 years ago! Thank you Dr Berg 😊
@@sherryceltic9856 what happened? I have 0.6mm polyp in my gallbladder and the surgeon wants surgery :( I am really not for it.
Exactly! Had mine removed 19 years ago 😅Knowledge is Key 😊
Mine was 10 years ago. I had a big polyp as well. And actually , i was told i had it 20 years ago but didn't follow up on it after 10 years. I did have many complications that i didn't know it was due to the polyp. I was fine after the removal of the gallbladder but after so many years i have so many symptoms that Dr. B is describing. Unreal.
Same here.
Glad I am reading this now weeks before I have been told I am on the waiting list for ballbladder removal. Or as I am mid 60s does it matter anymore.
My gallbladder was not identifiable as the problem for 3-4 years as I could not eat a real meal, lost weight from 130 to 87 lbs. At 87 lbs, the Dr finally saw some swelling, nothing much. He took mine out the next day, I was starving to death. I began to eat the very next morning and have eaten without pain ever since. I was drinking nutrition drinks, just stay alive. I have had the upset bowels, straightened out now. I may try supplements but I thank God for that surgeon.
Ohh wow I'm glad you are feeling better ❤
Omg thank you so much, I have tried for 5 months to save my gallbladder. I have done everything. Now I am at the point where I cannot eat anything. I have been off work for 3 weeks I can't even eat porridge. I wanted to cry when I seen this video it frightened me so much because I have to have mine out and I am terrified.
How could they miss it?
I had mine taken out and so far so good
I currently have dense sludge in my gallbladder and was made aware of this after going to the ER due to a gallstone clogging my bile duct. Fortunately it passed and my gallbladder wasn’t removed. They said it needs to be removed within a month. The nurse even told me “it’s just a bonus organ but we don’t need it” and I couldn’t stop thinking “there’s no way” it has to be greater than how they’re making it seem. Clearly it is! Thank you for this. I’m gonna try everything to keep my gallbladder
How do you clear the stone naturally?
@@KeishaKiger I keep reading that TUDCA helps but I need to find more info.... please research it. I am supposed to have my gallbladder out on May 2nd and after seeing this, I may just cancel the surgery
Good for you! I had obstruction. I'm on small meals right now. They give you every horrible scenario, how we are ticking time bomb "flat tire". I still refused. I said I will treat myself homeopathically and I'm sure massage exists for helping to dislodge stone. Your post is encouraging. Thank you. Continued wellness to you. I believe you/ me,/ we, made a good decision for ourselves.
Did you removed the stone from the Bille duct ? How ?
Dr Berg - not many clinicians around like you and I thank you endlessly for all that you do. Gods blessings to you always xx
I had gallstones blocked in my bile duct in January. Went to ER after 2 days, I got sepsis and nearly died. After a few operations and 2 endoscopies for bile and pancreas stents I was ok. I'm I'm Australia luckily so it was all free. I was very happy with the hospital but they only mentioned not to eat large fatty meals. I have learnt alot from your video's. I am now working on my fatty liver and weight but otherwise luckily feel good. You are a weath of knowledge, thank you.👍😉🇦🇺
Same here. Before Keto I lost lots of weight. The doctors said that was or could be a reason why I got gallstones. During weight loss/rapid weight loss, talk to your doctor. You WILL need pills.
Free? You don't pay taxes in Australia?
@@bubcat54 I haven't paid any personal tax for the past 5 years as I'm unable to work. As long as you are an Aussie citizen with a Medicare card, you will be looked after. I can't however get cash income benefits as my wife's works and makes income for the family. If she was on a really low wage, I'd be able to get gov assistance pay. I've worked for over 35 years and paid tax on my income but Im still getting same Medicare benefits either way whether or not I was working. We are blessed to live in Australia.👍♥️🇦🇺
I was joking of course. Nothing is free. You pay for it in taxes or in inflation which is a governments hidden tax. You payed for 35 years and now you deserve to be on the side that benefits. Cheers
Free? Nothing is free. Somebody is paying for it.
So are the lock downs free?
Get your guns back!!
I had my gall-bladder out years ago. I asked the surgeon why he couldn't just take out the stone and leave the bladder in place. He said something about 'might as well take the entire gall bladder to prevent further stones'... I said as it had taken 40 years or more for that stone to develop, I'd be happy to take my chances on another one in another 40 years, but he insisted on taking out the whole organ anyway.
He was operating at a teaching hospital, and was proud to show off his 'skill' at keyhole surgery to students of surgery, so that was the method he used. I was in hospital only overnight... When I got home the next day, on TV news there was an article which informed me that a new report had shown that keyhole surgery for gall-bladder removal created a risk of dying of heart failure within 18 months which was 17.5 times (i.e. 1,750%) the risk when using the traditional surgical method.
I've had trouble trusting the medical profession ever since... and that mistrust has been greatly magnified since the covid fiasco.
bruh you can't take out the stone only it's a sac like organ. Imagine puncturing a balloon and just taping a ductape back
@@Von199X No, it's not like a balloon, which is under pressure. (I reckon you're comparing it to an inflated balloon, right?) So the sac would not explode the way a balloon would, and the hole could easily be stitched up just like any other surgical incision. No need for duct tape.
@@theseustoo i just now got my gallbladder removed and i had one of the best surgeons in my country working on me and he said that the best way to go about this is to remove gallbladder and he said that there is completely no risks and there is no reduce in life span as many many people live without it.
Also like the other guy said my surgeon confirmed as well that Stones cannot be removed , whole organ has to go as the organ itself becomes infected as well from the stones inside and it doesnt work anymore as it should.
You can continue argue with people about this ,but i trust the specialists not youtube comments.
@@user-ph4wi4sy2p You're entitled to your opinion, and so am I... even though YT has already deleted my response once because they evidently don't agree. I suppose I should have said that 'once upon a time' I was entitled to my own opinion... these days, not so much! Evidently!
But you are apparently one of those people who believe that no-one in any position of authority would ever lie to you to improve their 'bottom line'... Naïve is one word for it.
Frankly the behaviour of many medical personnel during the covid crisis has NOT improved my trust in the medical industrial complex. 'Safe and effective'? I should cocoa!
@@theseustoo bro i know the surgeon personally i even drink together with him lmao why you have to wear that foil cap that even friends and family is against you?
I had a horrible Gallbladder attacks every 3-4 weeks. GB was dysfunctional, only 17% worked. Tried everything to stop the pain and no result. Had surgery 11 years ago removed it. Still happy about it. Free from any pain!!! Feeling great 👍
Same.
Had mine out 25 years ago and have never had an issue. I feel bad that some people suffer with such digestive issues after having it removed.
I had mine removed 5 years ago and have not had any issues.
Same here. My gallbladder was removed 9 years ago and had never experienced any symptoms since then. And the best part is that they took that horrible pain away. But every patient is different.
Had mine removed about a year ago. Idk if because got it removed now I have LPR
My sister had her Gallbladder removed then developed pancreatitis, acute for now; She on a low-fat diet both before and after the surgery. The sad parts are I had her try Keto and IF but after 1 month she quit... about a year later she got stones and had the GB removed. I would bet the doctors have her doing everything opposite what Berg is sharing here. Sharing this information (video) with her would give me a bunch of push back, like a sharing Christ with a devil worshiper. Thanks Dr. Berg you've changed my life for four years now and I feel great, at 60. God bless you sir!
Why they remove Gallbladder ? Why cannot they find some other solution for to clean your Gallbladder instead of removing it . Even Dentist they also are not doing good practice of Doctorate - e.g: When you go for teeth cap or crown and if it is not fitting well they will shave up your good above tooth - [These is the kind of practice they do ] . This means more problems for your good teeth as well. IT IS LIKE - If your one leg has prosthetic and if you have issues with it and if doctor is suggesting you that you cut or shave up your other good leg. Instead of working on to fix the prosthetic size. This is the world of Doctors who are giving you their wrong solution and keeping you coming back for them. So that they can get their loans paid and become rich at cost of general public health - They will make you fall for their vicious cycle. OH HELLO
Hello Can you do research on Gallbladder issues to find out a solution without removing it. So that these doctors “ Bread and Butter surgery of Gallbladder” comes to an END. THEY ARE GREEDY and keeps us in their vicious cycle.
@@deedt8279 She got stones they couldn't remove... don't know why. Plus my sister puts too much faith in doctors who are quick to cut.
@@REM4JC amen!!!
@@REM4JC i had the same suggestion, 12 years ago with 2 stones 1cm each.. I bet i still have them there, but with my diet i managed to avoid problems. I avoid: alchool, too much fats and eat too much (this to avoid pain on my right side). I can eat everything but i have to eat better. Try always to get better before is too late to do something. Eat well, train 3 times per week (30 min each) and take times for yourself.
I had my gallbladder removed 6 years ago. I was told that it was a simple and procedure. I woke up from surgery with a cough and by that evening I had was diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia.
The next morning I was admitted to critical care unit with Septic Shock. I was placed on a ventilator and put in a medically induced coma. I woke up weeks later my body was totally destroyed. To this day I have yet to recover from the surgery and my body will never be the same.
6 years later... I now have multiple autoimmune diseases, Type 2 diabetes, HS, High Blood, gained 125lbs, someone please tell me how this was a safe procedure.
Thank you for creating this video more people need to be educated before making life changing decisions. 🙏❤️
You probably had the pneumonia going in but being put under creates slow breathing and the pain drugs after do the same. Pneumonia is one of those rare diseases that keeps on giving.its why so many people die from pneumonia complications. The procedure was probably just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
I’m sorry to hear this. What a nightmare!
Why was your body totally destroyed ?
Could not have explained this topic any better. Very organized and precise. Thank you for making this so easy to understand 👍
My pleasure
Very glad to be of help.
So just to clarify, since I have no gallbladder I should be taking the tudca bile salts instead of the gallbladder formula?

I had my gallbladder removed last month. And I can actually eat now. For years I was only able to eat so much then I would be in serious pain nauseous and sick. I couldn’t be happier now! Thank goodness. Also it was the hardest surgery I’ve been through. But now that I have recovered I’ve noticed the difference! ❤
Same here!! I'm happy for you.🙂 I was told that if I left it in it could become cancerous because the cells can change into negative cells. I'm now pain free as well and enjoying some foods that I couldn't before. 🙏🏽
I recently got diagnosed with some gallstones. The pain was very crucial. I went to the er and a follow up with my doctor and was told that my opinion was to get it removed, but I'm scared to do so. I haven't eaten well in days cause I'm scare to eat anything. I'm afraid of that pain to come back. Any advice?
@@RaZoRBeLtRaN Oh try to avoid caffeine and spicy food it tends to trigger gallstones.😓
@@RaZoRBeLtRaN I’m so sorry to hear that, I would definitely consider having it removed. You’ll be so much happier. It is really scary at first. But I had my friend who’s a doctor say it’s like the wisdom teeth of the stomach, and a lot of people have it removed. Prayers for you and hope you get some better information.
@@RaZoRBeLtRaN I've had two attacks in two weeks and they said I have sludge and many small stones in my gall bladder. They recommend I have it removed. But since I'm 22 weeks pregnant, I have to wait until I deliver. I'm so nervous.
Thankyou so much for this had my Gall bladder removed two years ago, this video has told me more than anyone including my own Doctor.
Happy you found it useful! Be well!

Wow this could not have come at a more perfect time! I have been struggling with hypothyroidism and had my gallbladder out 22 years ago, I never knew there was a correlation but suddenly it is starting to make sense. I have ordered the gallbladder formula and will receive it tomorrow. I am hoping this will address the balancing of my digestive system which will allow my thyroid to heal. I have tried everything. The medical profession is broken, my doctor should have put this together and assisted me years ago, instead of just putting me on TSH and telling me I will need to take this the rest of my life! Thank you Dr. Berg, you are a Godsend!
Has the formula helped you since taking it.
Thanks for this inormative video! I've been studying gallballders after having my own issues as I'm trying to keep mine. I'm no doctor! Two other possible complications I've noticed people complain about that they had to address after surgery are issues relating to sphincter of the oddi and celiac disease, not to mention life altering diarrhea. I found a message board for victims of gallbladder removal surgery where they post their devasting stories and it's really heartbreaking. I hate how some surgeons just tell people 'you don't really need it' and don't do enough IMO to really prepare people. I even found a woman who said she got pancreatitis in the hospital after surgery and she is now hospitalized a few times a year with it and it never went away. Thank you so much for hopefully helping people to better informed about ALL aspects. Some people have said they were lying in a hospital bed post-surgery STILL having gallbladder attacks. They don't tell you that stones can still form in bile ducts so the problem doesn't always go away!
I had my gallbladder removed 2years ago due to a tumor, not stones or sludge. I haven’t had a problem since removal. I do take some bile salts when I remember. Not very consistent.
@@teeduck this! I had stones and had mine taken out. You only prolong the inevitable when you delay with methods like this as they do not just disappear and you will always be at risk of passing a stone that gets stuck! That’s when other damage can occur on removal
Got it. Lack of bile causes gallstones. Important information! Prevention is always best!
Thanks again, Dr. Berg!
How do you get gall stones without a gall bladder?
@@RH-ul2bc Because bile is still produced by the liver, but it has nowhere to store it, and I guess the heavier salts calcify in the area?
But how do you know you have lack of bile?
@@denisemartin3603 Good question.
Dr. Berg says that bile decreases with age. So, at my age, I figure mine has decreased, so I take digestive enzymes with every meal. Easy remedy.
I had to have mine removed and I feel better than ever. I was so sick before surgery and after it I feel like my life has been given back.
Same for me - never regret having it out. Same for Tonsils - suffered with them for years but they would never take them out :/ Since a child! Only just had them out last year and best thing I ever did. Only regret I had was being forced to wait until an adult before doing it. You can't hang onto diseased organs in your body "just because". You end up being poisoned.

OMG I needed this info 29 years ago had gallbladder removed and that created need for whipple procedure 10 years later such a dreadful experience. Still alive forging forward thanks so much for this video. I shared.
About 6 years ago I had been having constant pain across the bottom of my rib cage. One day it became unbearable along with sharp pain in my right shoulder blade. I went to the ER and they diagnosed gallstones. It was a friday and they scheduled me for a follow up with primary care the following Monday. I spent the weekend learning what a gallbladder is. Thats when i found Dr. Berg. I've been learning ever since and implementing healthy eating changes, which has been a challenge. I found out I had non-alcoholic fatty liver from poor eating. Using the gallbladder formula and other supplements and adopting intermittent fasting helped. I'm leaning towards keto now. The pain, often severe, continued periodically over the years, getting much less frequent every year. I havent had any gallbladder related pain now for 10 months. The best part is that the pain alerted me to a problem and i was able to find information to help me implement changes. With a better understanding of my body and health I can make better choices. My primary care recommended removal of gallbladder. I refused. I dont know if that decision is right for anyone else, but it has worked for me.
Paul Brodie glad you stuck it out! Doctors aren't taught how necessary gallbladders are in medical school. What can you expect when their handbook was written by Merck Pharmaceuticals? I was very young when I had my problems and had it removed. Wish I would have know all the problems that would cause! Surgeons are only happy when they get to cut you, based on my experience. Stay well.
I had to have mine out, and it was very bad before I wondered what was wrong with me. I had pancreatitis also and stones all over, but I was surprised how many people have had their gallbladder out, but if I could have avoided it and known earlier I would have tried very hard to avoid it.
I think there is an alternative surgery to just remove the stones, that would be the way to go if required!
Thank you Paul Brodie right now , I'm in pain but doesn't seem like is the gallbladder it's a ?? Bastille I need some of his products
If you still have your gallbladder make dure it stays that way. I regret not knowing any better and allowing mine to be removed!
Great video! Thank you Dr. Eric Berg, I've been following you for years and have made adjustments in my eating habits as well. The longer I've watched you the more my diet has changed. You're ability to bring these videos to us, the viewing public, does help masses of people extremely. Thank God you've been able to as the regular doctors that humans go to don't have enough knowledge on being well without their routine big pharma drugs for the rest of a person's life. It's a game to keep you hooked on their legalized drug sales. I'm getting my health back without the drugs, little by little and I can see a future in totally great health, hopefully running like a kid again. You are one reason for my health returning and being OMAD for 5 months now.

I appreciate this information Dr. Berg my doctor said nothing about any of this before surgery. My options were die without the procedure. The doctor literally lied to me saying I didn't need my gallbladder or it not being a significant organ when in fact it's a very important organ. I've been binge watching your video's and you're the ONLY Doctor who actually explained everything I was experiencing with that surgery. I'm going to take notes and do what you said Doc. I find it disheartening to know some Healthcare professionals give patients disinformation just to make money.
And healthcare is getting worse year by year. Almost all doctors say yes to surgery just to get reimbursed for their services. Even if it's not recommended
One of the best videos on gall bladder post surgery! Very thorough and knowledgeable. Dr. Berg you are doing a great work towards humanity. God bless your kind soul, Amen.
Dear Dr. Berg, I want to know what to do if there is too much bile in the system and specially at night when stomach is empty it comes up in the throat and mouth and wakes me up at 3 in the morning. My mouth is too sour at the time. When I drink some water it feels better. This is going on for long now. Even though I have elevated my head side bed 6" with bed risers, it doesn't help. My teeth are getting effected and my gums are burning. Please help!
Very glad to be of help.
Dr Berg my ex’s mother has excruciating pain, daily. She ate a giant bottle of Lysine, and I think the Lysine built up n gave her food poisoning. They took her gallbladder, the did Whipple surgery, then pancreas and spleen removal. She’s a pin cushion and is overdosing on HUGE amounts of creatine, like 6 pills per small meal! Now, they’re so tired of constant Emergency room visits, etc, etc, they just said she has 2 small spots on her lungs, and not sure which cancer, yet. PLEASE, Dr Berg, ANY help??? PLEASE, PLEASE
@@signetulupanWhy would someone eat a bottle of Lysine?
Very timely and informative video for me. I had my gallbladder removed more than ten years ago but until now, I still suffer from frequent diarrhea. Trusted my doctor who told me that it was not needed and I can function fully without it. Regretted my decision..
Same. I still don't know if I'd go back to those horrible gallbladder attacks though.
Same here … 14 years ago. I didn’t have any symptoms… and just one single stone… went to three different doctors… all three told me to remove 😕
So what would you do if you had been told that gallbladder is an important organ would you not go for the surgery, I mean there is no alternative options other then the surgery even today if you have stones in gallbladder you must go for the surgery, there is no other way to remove just the stones.
@@JahangirAlom-no9ff I would've removed my right arm to get rid of that pain. It's so bad that you're not even in the right mindset to care about alternatives honestly.

Dr. Berg, I had to have my gallbladder removed on May 31,2024. After surgery I felt so happy to be rid of it. Then a few days ago I started having pain in my right side and right side of my back.

@@manithyachandravidyananda8236did you have stones?
Thank you so much for your quality teaching about this subject. You are the first medical professional I have ever heard call the gallbladder a "very important organ." I had my gallbladder removed in 2014, and I've had so many health issues since the surgery. Watching your videos have truly helped me understand the importance of consuming the right foods and supplements.
I would love if he also brought in how the birth control pills mess up all these organs too! To me it was common sense to not play with that stuff...to turn off human life, it's gonna harm the bigger body (mom's) and kill the smaller one (pregnancy). Huge connection between gallbladder and contraception.
How you been feeling? Any improvement?
what kind of health issues u r facing
What supplements are you taking?
That explains why I have so many chronic health issues. I thank you for this information! Makes so much sense. 💜
This was an interesting video. It came up on my feed when I Googled gall bladder surgery. However, I don’t have gallstones. I have a gall bladder polyp. My mother died of gall bladder cancer, so I’m off to a specialist to determine the next move, which will likely mean gall bladder removal before the polyp grows and/or morphs into cancer. Gall stones are pretty common and no doubt plenty of people are interested in this video content. There are other people who may need the surgery for other health reasons. Find out as much as you can about the condition you’ve been diagnosed with. Doctors are opting for gall bladder removal for stones not because they are greedy, but to alleviate your pain and prevent more serious conditions such as pancreatitis and damage to the bile ducts. So the organ IS important but if it is not functioning, you have an issue to address. That might be dietary, but it might be surgical. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Management of post gall-bladder surgery is something that is perhaps lacking.
Mind blown! No one has ever connected Sibo to lack of bile. I’m crying right now…Thank you for helping me to be able
to help myself once and for all. I’ve spent so much time and money trying to cure mine and now I have the answer
We hope that you will get better soon. Stay safe!

Thank you for this advice. I had two gallbladder attacks a few years ago. I drank apple cider vinegar and lemon juice straight up, which relieved the pain within 20 minutes. I mentioned this to the surgeon who later performed my gallbladder surgery. He had never heard of this before. It does work! My brother had similar symptoms with relief after using Apple cider vinegar. Unfortunately it didn’t take care of my problem long term. I wish I had seen your video before surgery. It may have saved my gallbladder and me from an extremely painful surgery.

Thank you, thank you so much for this video ! I had my gallbladder removed due to gallstones 7 years ago. And my doctor told me that I need to start a low fat diet even though my cholesterol is very low. I have suffered from chronic diarrhea for 6 years until I have started if and low carb. My diarrhea literally vanished. We need to treasure these doctors like Eric who spreads the truth.

Mine burst in a car accident, health plummeted afterwards, especially with digestion of fats and sugars. Learning to compensate now. Thank you for the most important work you do !!!! There's a pandemic of ignorance right now.
This is such an eye-opening video. I detest doctors who rush to remove a person’s gallbladder.
Where do we find a healthy bile salts?
Check Dr.Bergs store. Been using his bile salts for 'bout 90 days
Sure smooths digestion for me.

Thx Dr Berg, I ignorantly had my gallbladder removed 30 years ago. I developed issues from not absorbing the fat soluble vitamins and neuropathy. I found your educational videos about this 7 years ago. I was able to reverse my neuropathy and fatty liver thx to you Dr Berg. Thank you dearly. Jeff from NC
Had my gallbladder removed a week before my 32 birthday. 65 now, haven't noticed any problems. Was in the Marine Corps when I had it removed.
Same with me.Had it removed when i was 35 and now at 77 don't have any problems.Thank god.
This is very reassuring . I had my gallbladder removed 2 months ago and I’ve been quite depressed with worrying do’s and don’ts after surgery. I’ve changed my eating habits and haven’t had any issues so far. I love how informative Dr. Berg videos are but they sometimes leave you feeling helpless, hopeless and in a state of doom. Thanks for sharing, everyone is different I guess. It’s good to hear of people who’s had the surgery and are totally fine years afterwards.
@@LikeNoOther251 you’ll be ok. In fact I know people who have died for refusing the surgery. You made the right choice. My gallstone was so huge that it wasn’t going to be dissolved with anything. Had my removed 12 years ago. Cases are always different.
Ive heard gallbladders removed lathroscopicly, 3 tiny holes, seem to have more complications after surgery. Mine was removed in 2019, still having problems.
Same here, I am kind of depressesed not knowing what is ahead my Future, Its been a month already and I have been doing goos so far.
Last year I started getting stomach cramps every 2-3 weeks. I went to the doctor and found out that I have gallstones and the doctor wanted to remove my gallbladder. But I was against it because I really believe that there must be another way. The ultrasound showed little stones and the Liver seemed ok. Luckily I found your channel and Videos. Thank to you I started taking bile salts and since then I did not have any stomach pain again. For many years I had extreme dry eyes every morning and needed eye drops otherwise i couldn’t open them. But after taking bile salts for only 2 weeks my eyes are much better. I don’t need the drops anymore. Thank you Dr. Berg !!
Why they remove Gallbladder ? Why can not they find some other solution for to clean your Gallbladder instead of removing it . Even Dentist they also are not doing good practice of Doctorate - e.g: When you go for teeth cap or crown and if it is not fitting well they will shave up your good above tooth - [ These is the kind of practice they do ] . Which means more problems for your good teeth as well. IT IS LIKE - If your one leg has prosthetic and if you have issues with it and if doctor is suggesting you that you cut or shave up your other good leg. Instead of working on to fix the prosthetic size. This is the world of Doctors who are giving you their wrong solution and keep you coming back to them . So that they can get their loans paid and become rich at cost of general public health - They will make you fall for their vicious cycle. OH HELLO
Hello Can you do research on Gallbladder issues to find out a solution without removing it. So that these doctors "bread and butter surgery" of Gallbladder come to an END.
Bile salts ehh, may give that a shot.
What about the gallstones? Do you still have it?
Hello, Im in the same boat right now but i wanted to ask should i include fats in my diet? or should i avoid it since i have the stone? Im so scared of food right now because everything has fats in it -_-
You are most welcome!
WoW! The more you know! 🙏⚘Thank you for all of this information! I am Post gall-bladder surgery. I wish I would have been aware. (Like you, I had NO Clue what my pain and symptoms were stemming from). This is mind-blowing! Lol. So much makes sense 'before' and 'AFTER'. I am really going to learn about taking the bile salts and changing my diet. SHARE THIS EVERYONE💓⚘We all need this knowledge and awareness. THANK YOU!!
YOU SHOULD DO A VIDEO ABOUT ALL THE GOOD VITAMINS AND WHERE TO GET THEM. IN FOOD OR A PURE SOURCE SUPPLEMENT. I KNOW YOU SELL SOME OF THEM, BUT OTHERS I DONT KNOW WHERE TO BUY THEM. I AM FOLLOWING ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND ITS SAVING MY LIFE, BUT I NEED QUALITY SUPPLEMENTS.
Donated my Liver and they removed my gallbladder, problems ever since! Need all your videos, I was never told by any of the doctors before or after, why I had so many problems, and NO advice. Thank you!
The most clear and informative video I have watched on gallbladder so far. Thank you so much for all the details.
Loving this format, Dr Berg! My dad just had his gallbladder removed. Sent this to him. Thx so much as always! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Glad to help!

I have my gallbladder removed so do I still need to take that salt I still have pain
How you feeling?
thank you, dr Berg. i've learned that gallbladder isnt an excess to the body, but instead it is a key to good health. i would like to say, you are such a great doctor...with concern, care and a good intention to people. may you stay safe and healthy and also the whole of your family.
This video is so freaking awesome and comprehensive. Thank you Dr. Berg. I’m sorry you suffered with things but it’s such a blessing to the rest of us that you have the personal experience that drives your knowledge. I so wish I had known years ago about keto and the dangers of mainstream medicine and the importance of nutrition. We’ve been mislead our whole lives about so many things. Out of all my education I remember learning about hormones in a sexual way and that’s pretty much it. It wasn’t until two years ago that I started digging and learning about all of our hormones which are so vital to us. I lost my gallbladder a long time ago and wish I would have known it wasn’t just useless, which I figured God didn’t just give us something useless, but I believed mainstream medicine at the time. At any rate, I’ve been suffering with some of the deficiency symptoms lately and just severe fatigue after being keto for a couple years and unable to figure out why and what I’m doing wrong. Also, stuck in about a 6-9 month plateau no matter what I do. After watching your videos on the gallbladder, I have a feeling my body isn’t getting the nutrients I’m trying to give it bc I don’t have a gallbladder anymore. Im about to get some bile salts and see if they make a difference for me. I heavily appreciate what you do. I feel like your videos are really to teach us something instead of just promote stuff. Thank you.
Did you get any results with bile salts?
@@drossel971 Haven’t yet tried them…
Actually most doctors do not recommend the Keto diet. The diet industry does. Basically process food is not good for our body especially inthe amounts American tend to eat them in. But who does not. But the fact that 50% of American are obese is basically nothing but people fault also. No one stops anyone from learning if you really want to learn somethink.. Who stopped you from learning Basics about a proper diet. No one stopped you from seeing a dietitians if you wanted to eat a better diet.. It is really not that hard and was something I learn about when I was 14 years old because I want to do better in my sport. My Mom also wanted to lose some weight.. so we went to the libery and then talked to a dietitian who help us come up with a plan geared toward our likes and lifestyle.. Basically I get sort of tired of people blaming doctor, pharma, society, McDonald's or whatever when someone did not bother to spend any quality time to get educated on a subject from reputable sources. For example looking at some actually book for dietitians or doctors. Back then you could find stuff at your local references section in you local library. Also medicine is always changing and sometime taking a organ is taken out because of complications that could happened if it stays in could be worse then removing the organ. But the bottom line unless you are unconscious no one forced you to have that organ taken out. I know every doctor see something a little bit differently and zi want to make sure zi am making choices that I feel comfortable with and not feel like something I was talked into. But again that is about watching out for yourself and just doing you due diligence. I am responsible for the choice I make, not others.. Again there are so many factors on where that line is on should surgery should be done or not. I am just amazed how many people will have a a doctor d surgery on them and they do not even check I they have any complaint against them in the state boards. I have had gallstones for years and there is really not that much you can do about them. But I was told 10 years ago that they could remove my gallstone and prevent a bunch of problem. Well I knew the gallstone has a purpose and I went to the library and did some research. Upon asking my doctor about the purpose of the surgery and the risk of surgery and long term effect and not having it, I choose to leave it since I was causing me no pain or issues. I still have my gallbladder and gallstone and have no pain or symptoms. Doctor also sort of go by the averages. They do not know exactly how well someone will do with anything until it happened. After my research, I basically eat little process food, my BMI weight and height normal healthy size. I am a disable Veteran so my exercise is sort of limited but again that would no be a excuse to be obese or not take care of the rest of my body the best I can. I find most American just eat trash, take horrible care of there body and then expect doctor to cure them with a pill or magic surgery. Doctor also do not have 3 hours to hold someone hand who does nothing the doctor does anyway.. Half the time I do not even know why people
bother going to the doctor to begin with if they are no going to take there suggestion in improving there health.. No one stops you learning, but your lack of initiative entitlement that it is everyone job to teach you. Learn to stand up for yourself and get those questions asked and answered. When you go to the doctor he is there to help you and not the other way around. If you feel that your doctor does not want you input in your own body or seem insulted by questions you have, then find another doctor.
I just got my box of cholestryome powder, same as bile salts, and my insurance paid 100%, when i get home this evening im starting them, im praying for releif
I really love how I was never warned of most of these complications before I had my gallbladder out in 2017. Here I am 5 years later dull ache is back in the same spot as when I had a gallbladder.
I had my Gallbladder out about six years ago. I still get some pains on the right side and also have hernia issue s… ugh I get rib pain and the G I Dr keeps saying it’s muscle spasms… jerks
@@juliekane7210 do u able to eat properly after surgery
They may have not closed off the bile duct completely. Happened to me, had a ct scan. Only option is to go back in and have it closed. Since I changed my diet don’t have the fantom gallbladder attacks any longer
I had the same experience. Never should have taken it out. I feel worse than before 7 seven years later.
This is phenomenal information. I am 41 and have been suffering digestive issues for 20+ years. I have all the symptoms of massive pain in my right shoulder/trap area. Inflammation in my right arm and pain after eating under my right rib cage. I have never tried bile salts! I am hopeful and going to give it a go because nothing else has helped my GERD and digestion…. Also thanking the b1, d3 and HCL combo. THANK YOU!!
My gallbladder was removed many years ago. After listening to this video, I wish I knew this beforehand.
I got my gallbladder removed back in March 2023 because of the infections crawling around in my stomach making it painful to move around. Then a month later, I have no infections coming back or any other health issues ever since. I still can do anything before end up at the ER.
Omg I can’t believe you up loaded this video on gall bladder today . My grandma had her gallbladder removed on the 7th of October . She has been fine up until a week ago saying that she has pain in her upper abdomen every time she eats , and when she takes her medication. The pain is increasing everyday . Taking her to the drs tomorrow . I hope they can see what is going on or I’m going to show them your video . I really hope she is going to be okay . This video has made me think that something must be happening post surgery .
That's a very good Idea, to show all doctors(the wotld) , and to stop saying, it's ok to remove the galbladder. NO IT'S NOT🆗🆗🆗, OK!!!! Thanks Dr. Berg. Your doing a great job. ♥️
It happened to me, 8 years ago I had my gallbladder removed, but they didn’t tell me that it got complicated and they left a piece of my gallbladder there. On June 11, 2024 I got the pain to the point that I had to go to the emergency room, I had a gallstone on the bile duct and I have a cyst on the piece of gallbladder that was left, I have surgery on August to remove completely the gallbladder and the cyst that is full of bile, doctors said they had never seen a case like mine because the cyst took place like it’s it was a gallbladder, this time I’m gonna have open surgery and I am nervous because last time it was laparoscopic surgery it was little incisions 😢
Despite the advice .I will not have my gallbladder removed. I have had a couple of hide a scans but still have my gallbladder! I believe its very essential. Thank Dr. Berg another great teaching!
My gallbladder was completely full of stones and several traveled and got stuck in the biliary tree. This is common for people who have chronic Lyme disease. My Lyme doc put me on bile salts right away after my surgery. That was 20 years ago and I am thankful it was removed. The pain was unreal.
Just passed onto my brother as his daughter is booked for surgery! Because....Drum roll....The Doctors stated it serves no purpose....OMG...To be explained how something like this plays an importance and so clearly is truly once again A Life saver. A Million thank you's Dr Berg. What an inspiration.....
i ፡ am ፡ suffering
it will hapen me too
i have had my gallbladder out for about 10 years now and i have had zero problems.
Will keep all this in mind, but after several gallbladder attacks, the last two sending me to the ER literally screaming, I do not want to have another one, and my diet has never been an issue, always well balanced.
Hi Dr Berg, Thank you for answering a recent comment of mine. Listening to your content is starting to change my life. My question today is what can I do to absorb vitamin D (and probably other vitamins) without a gallbladder?
That’s is a wonderful question. If Dr Berg answer this one would be amazing!
Your gallbladder formula extra strength helped me. Stool went back to normal and color changed back to normal instead of tan. Thank you 💞
Glad it helps!
Thank you Dr. Berg for educating us about the gallbladder. I'm a diabetic who was diagnosed with a fatty liver, (I take a liver detox supplement)...I've started to watch how many carbs I intake daily, I check labels now, I was advised to ONLY consume 21 grams of sugar daily...this IS HARD for me🙁🤦🏽♀️ & I TRY to STAY AWAY FROM DIARY. I've switched over to Oat milk. Which is VERY good! Dr. Felco, (a gallbladder specialist surgeon), is hell bent on cutting on my body to remove my gallbladder because a few times the gallstones were seriously hurting me. After hearing that he & his team performed HUNDREDS of gallbladder removals with much success, 🙄🤦🏽♀️I would be ok & he did tell me that I would have diarrhea FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!🤯🤯For me not to worry about the diarrhea... he would put me on a medication that will help me out with that. Uhhhh, no thanks buddy! 🤨 I asked if there were other ways for me to help get rid of the stones...he told me NO. He went on to say, that there were NO MEDICATIONS OR SURGERIES to take out the gallstones or to dissolve them. If I'm having constant pain, schedule a surgery. 😒 I had a look of disgust & disappointment on my face after Dr. Felco told me that. Not to mention, he was RUDE about how he told me. 🙄 It felt as if he was trying to convince me into having surgery...like I was a 💰 moneybag in his eyes & not a person. Wow!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯....Some doctors just do not have bedside manners....& he's most definitely one of them.🙄🤨 Even if I agreed to surgery, I WOULDN'T HAVE HIM DO IT!!😒 *I got a VERY BAD vibe from this man* So I decided I wasn't going to get it. I'm glad I seen the notification for this video. I'm going to pull up this video to show my PCP, Dr. Lee and go from there. Thanks again Dr. Berg for this VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO! *I appreciate you* 🙏💖🙏💖🙏
Dr told me it was impossible to remove gallstones without surgery.
I proved him wrong. I brought the stones to him.
He didn't believe it was my stones.
He gave me a free ultrasound.
He was 😲.
@@cajunlady4893 how did you get rid of your stones?
@@icediamonds11
I drank 2 oz of olive oil
2 oz of fresh squeezed lemon juice mixture
For Breakfast Lunch and Supper.
Laid on my right side after for half hour to an hour.
I also drink pure100% unsweetened apple juice through out day
I also took a herbal laxative before drink the lemon and oil drink to make the stone flush out better.
On my 2nd & 3rd day
The stones were coming out in my bowel movements.
More on the 3rd day
I Kept doing the procedure until stones stops.
The internet has different ways to remove the stones
@@cajunlady4893 thank you
@@cajunlady4893 I'm sorry for all the questions what foods did you eat when you were doing the flush?
Yeah I had my gallbladder removed in 2004. I also have hiatal hernia. No one told me any of these things. I am a senior and retired not expired. I work out don't drink don't smoke and take a brisk walk for least 2 miles a day thank you for your content 🙏✝️👍🇺🇲
I have a hiatal hernia also , and gallbladder removed a year and a half ago . Do you take oxbile pills ?
Had emergency gallbladder surgery in May to remove a gangrenous gallbladder that was so infected and full of gallstones. Some stones were the size of shooter marbles. It had to be drained before removal because it was so infected and distended. I was never given any information in regards to this. I'm suffering from the sulpher burps, bile salt diarrhea, bloating. It's miserable. You mentioned thyroid issues. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 15 years ago. Never had any diagnosed gallbladder issues. My thyroid went to the extreme hyper side and I went into a thyroid storm. It was caught early enough that it didn't begin to shut down my organs. I've had almost all of these symptoms for years prior to my hypothyroidism diagnosis. Thank you for all of your time and information.
Hypothyroidism is not an issue if you take a replacement hormone daily, like levotheraxine and follow up on your blood tests every 6 months
I love Dr. Berg's videos! They're short and easy to understand.
My friends enjoy me sharing them!
Very glad to be of help.
But he did not discuss or disclose the process of a gallbladder cleanse. I saved my gallbladder with a simple, inexpensive three day cleanse that can be done at home. I can send you the information if you are interested.
@@Drberg hii sir doctors told u have few polyps in gallbladder..is necessary to remove the gb?

Thanks, Dr Berg, because I have been having a few complications since having my cholecystectomy, and I'm only in my 20s.
Wow! Great video! It makes so much sense, especially the link between the gallbladder/bile and the liver, pancreas and thyroid. I have T2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, high cholesterol and gallstones. I have no pain (yet) but is there a way to get rid of gallstones? You mentioned bile salts to help with sludge but what about breaking down the stones for a healthier gallbladder?

Hello Can you do research on Gallbladder issues to find out a solution without removing it. So that these doctors "bread and butter surgery" of Gallbladder come to an END.
I had 2 attacks & the second one was extremely painful. I was rushed to the hospital & had it out. Have felt fine since then.
Thank you for this thorough explanation! I was told I needed gallbladder surgery but opted to manage it with apple cider vinegar and wheat grass powder!
Same here. After reading an article on the benefits of using Apple Cider Vinegar & Wheat grass powder when dealing with a problematic GB, I literally walked out of hospital in 2021 when the doctors kept scaring me that I’d die if I didn’t have the GB removed! What was even more scarier was that they kept saying the GB is a useless organ & that I should have it swiftly removed as a matter of urgency! I trusted my gut instinct & asked for the Self-Discharge Form, which the doctors dilly-dallied to give me, and they even got pretty upset with me to the point of bullying me to change my mind & proceed with the GB removal surgery! I removed my cannula, packed my duffel bag, handed my completed Self-Discharge Form to an irate-looking staff member at the Nurses’ Station before darting out of the place 🏃♂️🏃🏼🏃♂️🏃🏼 to catch a taxi outside the hospital. I’m so immensely proud that I saved my life from a myriad of health problems (had I allowed my GB to be removed!). I still take my daily Apple Cider Vinegar & Wheat Grass powder to date (May 2024) & I’ve never experienced any more GB issues ever since! 👍🏻
So sorry I've seen this video now after gb surgery😢 I miss my gallbladder and it has affected my life...
I'm 2 weeks post op. I'm grieving too. I did not want the surgery but my husband said just get it over with. I regret listening to him bc I saw my report and it said no gallstones found and I passed them. I am crying every day.
I wish I would’ve stumbled upon this before gallbladder surgery. I only had 2 stones but was in so much pain (like child labor, I seriously can’t pick which one hurt more.🥲) I am thankful for this information Dr.Berg. I will supplement and do what I can for my body while I’m here on Earth. You are appreciated Sir!🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hello, may I ask if you don't mind how you feeling now, after gallbladder was removed?
Thanks
TUDCA can be started immediately after golstone removed?
Same here but with stuck mini boulders on my kidneys......trying to pass, urine caused toxicity in my blood -- all because doctors told me to stop my magnesium which would have helped. I learned my lesson. I think if the pain in the childbirth is better because you have a beautiful child at the end. Stones? .... :)
I feel the same, wishing I would have been aware of this video when I had my gallbladder removed over 10 yrs ago. I used to be in extreme pain. Like u stated, my pain was as severe as labor pains. Although I had my gallbladder removed I wasn’t informed of this vital information Dr. Berg is presenting. He is truly a blessing & I have been paying attention. I have started intermittent fasting, stopped eating sugary foods/drinks, processed foods, & drastically reduced carbs. I feel great. Now I have to make sure I’m including the appropriate vitamins & minerals to increase my chances of living a healthy lifestyle as I get older. I’m 48, 5’2 & 204lbs. Down 12 lbs since 10/31/22.
I thought the same thing the moment I had pain. Next day after planning to change my diet I started suffering from Malaise, had extreme pain next day and went to the ER. Turns out my gallbladder was half dead when they removed it. Any longer and it would have killed me.
Dr. Berg is trying to help us. ❤His preventative measures are gold. Most drs just wait until you suffer then cut instead of thorough exams. Berg is telling us about early warning signs, prevention, and what to do if gallbladder removal negatively impacts us. Thank you.
BRAVO, excellent video…Having my gallbladder removed some years ago,(~20yr), I wasn’t informed that I needed bile salts…thanks to your informing videos I NOW take TUDCA before a meal which has lessened the cramping on my right side…A question I have is can I take TUDCA with/milk thistle ? I had a Fibroscan done before contracting COVID which showed a fatty liver (3.2, 180)
I had my gallbladder removed 13 months ago. I didn't have a choice. I lived with gall stone flare ups as long as I could until gall bladder became too painful.
However, Ive been in and out of the emergency room. Blood pressure soars, headaches, nausea, confusion. They thought cardiac problems, but it was having my gallbladder removed. I never had nausea even when I had a bout of vertigo. Now I'm having it all the time. The type of nausea that brings you to your knees. Its freaking sad that Im the one that has to tell my doctor what's wrong with me
What do you take to heal those symptoms now?
Doc Please make a video about gall bladder polyp and possible treatments for it apart from surgical removal 🙏🏼🥺🥺
My dad, 64, almost perfect health, was diagnosed with GB stones which is apparently very common. 2 years later passed away due to GB cancer (into liver). It is apparently rare that GB stones causes cancer but it increases the risk and if someone is diagnosed with this cancer, they more than likely have history of stones. So unless you monitor regularly, in hindsight due to what I witnessed, its advisable to get it removed if you have stones. It could also be affected by your ethnicity. Just a warning of sorts.
So true. I lost my mom 49 years old, just 10 days ago to the same. If you ppl or your family have stone in gall bladder please be treated.
What a great session and deeply appreciate your passion to help others. 🙏 😊

Very glad to be of help.
Lord bless you and yours always Doc.
Went to ER bc of severe pain. Had CT scan, Sonogram, blood taken, lots of questions & pressing on my abdomen . After 5 hours, was told " You're ok" by the physician, I left, with the same pain & weakness. (Trusted the Dr. , He said I was " ok")
Back to ER a few days later. Another CT scan. I had gallstones by then. Admitted Fri. night, no surgery until Wed. afternoon, with a drain & stayed overnight. A mean & nasty nurse in the "Recovery" room. Was told nothing re: diet/ nutrition, just a bill.. I appreciate your informational video!
I had my gallbladder removed. I had issues with stones. When I had surgery the Dr told me I had gangrene in my gallbladder. I don’t know how that happened! But I was told if I didn’t have had surgery I would of died. Thank you Dr Berg for what you do!
After removed gallbladder how is it your health
@@prudhvibojja2381 My health could be better but it is ok. I’m happy not to be dealing with the pain that I was going through. I’m thankful that I got the surgery otherwise I would be dead.
Barely watching this video. Thank you very much for sharing about the after surgery as well. I got my gallbladder removed in 2012 as an emergency procedure. Since then, no more pain but watching your video is an eye opening. My vision is bad, I'm always feeling tense and need massages on my shoulder pads especially the right side. I get cramps literature in my right abs! I'm a very calm person, I try no to stress and these problems persist in me. Now I'm 50 and I wanted t9 assume it was because of my age, I don't think so. Plus I've gained lots of weight. What do you recommend me? I didn't know I need a bile supplement, the doctor never told me that. I will check what you mentioned in the video. Thanks again and God bless you and protect you for many many year to come.
I was curious about this topic because someone I know had their gb removed. Not surprised Dr. Berg has a video on it! The wealth of information on your channel is amazing.
Thanks for watching!
I was determined to have my gall bladder removed but after but l decided to do ketogenic diet lm on a keto diet and ever since then l have no gall b bladder pain l no longer need to worry about gall bladder problem

This was very informative! Thank you so much for this video! Doctors removed mine when I was 22. Non functional. Have had problems ever since with no real help since. I just met with an amazing chiropractor that is teaching this and has helped me more in the first week, than I have had in my last 20+ years of suffering. This gave great insight. Explained in terms I understand!

This is a great video and helps me connect the dots a little more to my health issues I experienced about 10 years ago, which led me to having my gallbladder removed. The only thing I disagree with is eating the Keto diet. It doesn’t work for everyone. I feel amazing on a low fat vegan diet. I have a really hard time digesting higher fatty things. I feel sluggish and my digestion suffers. I feel awful on a keto diet.
This video is 2 yts old and 4 days ago it saved my life. 10 months ago diagnosed with gastritis from taking antibiotics. For 10 months ive had extreme nausea, neck pain, constipation, dizziness and extreme burning stomach. No doctor thought of my gallbladder. Just wanted to give me more antib iotic for h lylori which i didnt have and ppi which i refused to take Went and got tudca and bile salts. In 24 hrs my extreme nausea went away, dizziness went away and neck pain got better. In 4 days the buring stomach is gone. That you Dr Berg for all you do and helping humanity. Sending you so much gratitude and love. How long does tudca take to thin bile? Thank u Dr Berg, i had every symptom you mwntioned in this video and im now healing becuase of you
This is crazy. I am getting mine removed this week and I was worried about how this would effect my keto. Thank you for this information Dr. Berg!

Hello Can you do research on Gallbladder issues to find out a solution without removing it. So that these doctors "bread and butter surgery" of Gallbladder come to an END.
@@sophiasaleh1705 - Why they remove Gallbladder ? Why can not they find some other solution for to clean your Gallbladder instead of removing it . Even Dentist they also are not doing good practice of Doctorate - e.g: When you go for teeth cap or crown and if it is not fitting well they will shave up your good above tooth - [ These is the kind of practice they do ] . Which means more problems for your good teeth as well. IT IS LIKE - If your one leg has prosthetic and if you have issues with it and if doctor is suggesting you that you cut or shave up your other good leg.

Thank you so much Dr Berg. I had passed a stone from my gallbladder naturally and my gastroenterologist wanted to remove my gallbladder and I refused to do so. Thank you for this educational video because now I have the information I need to refuse such surgery in the future should I have any problems. It was very informative and very relevant to my health so thank you and keep up the good work!!
What did you exactly do to pass the GB stones naturally???
@@JahangirAlom-no9ff I simply waited patiently and although only slightly painful as a nurse I’ve seen far too many gall bladders removed unnecessarily. I wish you luck should you have them.
@@joanijackson3108 I have 2-3 mm two stones in gallbladder but i haven't experienced any pain yet and some says it's dengerous to live with GB stones because it can block bile duct or pancreas, so now I am super confused wheather i should go for the surgery or not.
@@JahangirAlom-no9ff as a nurse and a patient I suffered pancreatitis which was horrifically painful requiring an urgent trip to the emergency department. I was on morphine and test results showed I had gall stones. However I opted to remain on pain relief and try to pass them myself. Another X-ray days later revealed that I had passed the stones as my gall bladder duct was stretched. However! you can have a less invasive surgery which is done as a laparoscopy whereby they insert a tube and suck them out. Have you discussed this with your dr.?
@@joanijackson3108 did you take any supplements to help get the stone out ?
Dr. Berg, like many I had my gall bladder removed 21 years ago along with gallstones size of a golf ball that were finally removed with third surgery. 10 years ago I had another gallstone removed that caused me to turn yellow plus very ill. Your explanation makes a huge difference understanding the whole problem. Other than starting the keto diet and other things you suggested is ok to take organic yogurt since is soothing after I eat. I have developed a severe skin rash 7 months ago which I had a hard time getting rid off even with strong meds. In addition I come from a Chiropractic family my ex, my daughter, Son in law, nephews, uncles to name a few. I am not one but Chiropractic comes first to prevent symptoms. You are amazing by providing us with information on how to understand how our body functions. Thank you for all of your help. Andrea
Hi I read your comment and was just wondering did your rash ever go away and if so what did you do to help it,I've been dealing with a rash for about 4 to 5 months now I take zyrtec every other day and it helps but it does come back, not sure if it's from gallbladder removal thank you for any info you have..
This is the best and most comprehensive video I have seen about the gallbladder! Thank you Dr. Berg! 🙏 Would you please talk about biliary dyskinesia. I believe it has to be with the motility of the gallbladder. How to treat this?
Love & light! ❤️
Hey have you gained any valuable info on biliary dyskinesia you could share?
My Gallbladder was gangrenous when removed, if it wasn't removed the doctor said I would have only lasted a couple of days, after watching your video you have scared the life out of me and many others like me, congratulations.
Same. Now I'm seriously depressed.
I just had my surgery yesterday. My gall bladder removed with a big stone in it. Watching this in the hospital bed.
How do u feel? im due for surgery 11.11
@@GuiltyyPleasureehow you feeling after it?
Very eye opening. Loving your videos Dr Berg 💞. I know lots of people who will benefit from this video. May you continue doing what you do so AMAZINGLY!
Very glad to be of help.
Hello Dr Berg. Thank you for your videos , your teaching, your kindness. Last week , i saked a question about gallstones and i have already got my answer. You are very kind. Thank you again! May GOD bless you.
Thank you!
I recently went to the Emergency Room in Pain and had distended abdomen. ER referred me to the surgeon following the CT scan and ultrasound which discovered abdominal hernia and thickening wall of the gallbladder. I am having a HIDA scan on the 27th and surgery on the 28th of December. Gallbladder is to be removed dependent on scan results. Glad I found this video.
Some years ago I had emergency gallbladder surgery at 3AM because my gallbladder was about to burst. I had a stone stuck in the common bile duct which lead to my gallbladder swelling up like a balloon. If your gallbladder bursts you become septic and then you die. I ended up with a 10" abdominal incision and was in the hospital for 13 days. NOT FUN! Initially, I experienced some adverse GI effects, but over the years my body seems to have adjusted to not having a gallbladder.
