Timely video. Just the other day, I read a study showing that secondary bile acids, which are produced by the degradation of bile acids produced by good gut microbes, regulate the immune system and thereby prevent chronic inflammation. Long story short: Bile is important in many ways!

I had SIBO for about 6 months. That caused me to have AFIB on and off as a side affect due gas irritating my vagal nerve. Lost ablut 20 lbs during the 6 months. It was recommended that I drink green tea. Less than a week, AFIB went away. 2 weeks SIBO went away. This was over 14 years ago. Still drinking green tea today.
Green tea can also help manage cholesterol levels, regulate blood sugar, and aid in weight loss by boosting metabolism 👉 www.drberg.com/blog/the-amazing-health-benefits-of-green-tea
Holy smokes, I'm making the connection now. I've been trying to figure out what's been going on with my gut microbiome. I was also getting Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) where my heart skips a beat and feel these ectopic beats, I always thought this was a sperate issue on it's own, I just stopped using stimulants like caffeine and nicotine which I'm sure helps. Turns out this is SIBO affecting my Vagus nerve and thus causing PVCs
I got Afib too during this sibo problem. Had horrible pain went to ER. I was in Afib when I got there. Was at 199. Scared me big time. My breathing is also horrible.
Wow.thank you for this video. Life saver. I had gastric bypass while ago, and i have that bloading problem. I even was hospitalized because of that. Now i know what i had,because regular doctors couldn't figure out. Thank you. Dr.berg so muchhh
Great video. This is what I've been looking for. Just learned about the SIBO low bile connection. I believe this describes what I've been struggling with a fair amount of accuracy.

I just found out i have a lot of gallstones, Amazon delivered your gallbladder formula in one day, it seems to be helping already. This morning Im taking it on an empty stomach after watching more of your videos, and realized I should get the digestive formula its on the way. I have 2 ostomies, diverticuli, my color perforated, then 6 years later ruptured and my body cavity filled will fecal matter, my kidneys shut down, I had the emergency ileostomy. Its been three years with no help getting better Im helping myself through you. Thank you so much Dr Berg. I also have ovarian cysts, a cyst on liver from the fecal matter, its almost gone, both ostomies have hernias, and my uterus is growing for some odd reason
Dr Berg, not sure if I had SIBO but I do know taking your Gall Bladder formula has made a huge difference in how I feel and how I digest my food! Thank you!
Dr berg, please do a video for people without colons (ileostomy) and the considerations that need to be taken (nutrients, imbalances, diet, supplements, problems, inflammation, detox, etc).

Thank You so much Dr Berg for the life-saving knowledge you share with us!
Thank you Dr Berg for this amazing video i have this problem SIBO low stomach acid and bile flow and gallbladder issues when eating high fat this video helps explain so well..
Hi Dr. Berg, thank you for your informative videos. However, in this video you recommend bile salts for SIBO, and in another video you state that bile salts should never be used with a condition of SIBO. So this is confusing..??
He made this video 9 months after (probably to clarify his mistake as he’s still learning daily) and had advised to take it on a empty stomach, might have to try it out on a empty stomach first thing in the morning to set me up for the day (cause it recycles) to see if it works or not for me. I’ll try it every few days once a day and up it to once a day until I get bad signs like diarrhoea or pains in my bottom right abdomen ileocecal valve (the valve between the small and large intestine). Everyone’s different so see how it works for you
@@Lucid_Anomaly Right. In old videos I’m think he used to say not to take it on an empty stomach because bile salts are alkaline and will negate your stomach acids ability to digest and to take them after a meal. But I believe now he says it’s best taken on an empty stomach.
@@ThisIsNotMyHome I didn’t work well for me because I started having stomach pains, but I suppose it’s best to try it an see how you feel. Try it with a meal and try it on a empty stomach
@Dr Eric Berg DC. I sure hope you don’t miss my previous comment that I posted a few minute ago. I do look forward to hearing from you and thank you once again for trying to help so many through your teachings!
Hey there, I’m curious what’s ur thoughts on Rays Peates approach, his ways of nutrition for woman, his opposition to fasting and how fasting harms hormones especially for woman, thyroid health and how it affects our ability to lose or gain weight. The fact that human should not stay in Ketosis because Ketosis doesn’t make us lose weight but our most important gland does - thyroid. And when we heal thyroid we don’t need to torture ourselves with fasting and Ketosis . How fasting is bad for women, estrogen dominance etc . Plus how important to understand cooper and iron function in the body . And woman should donate blood constantly coz we are not deficient in iron but the opposite etc .
I ve just watched a video of yours '' when not to take bile salts'', you mentioned SIBO. That video was 11 months ago. So, I am a bit confused, if you have sibo, or sth goes wrong in your intestines, is it OK to take bile salts?
Same!!! What I’m thinking of doing is take bile salts and if I notice my symptoms worsen then I’ll know. I have sibo and I’ve noticed this happens after I did a liver cleanse, which involed purging the gallbladder of all its bile. So mmm maybe bile salts is what I need? We’ll see
Hi there! Dr. Berg might recommend a type of supplement but does not get into specifics- you'll have to do this research yourself. Dr. Berg's Support Team.
I wish, when you do videos that involve anything to do with the gall bladder, that you would address the issue of those of us who no longer have one. Many people these days don't. I regret having been convinced of this as a solution, before trying a cleanse, but I did have it removed as my doctor at the time insisted that it was necessary. and when I see these videos of yours that involve the gall bladder and don't address this I just get confused. I already take essential enzymes every day with my first meal - after a 16 hr. fast most days - but I still have loose bowels, very little pain though. Supplements are expensive and these days wasting money on supplements that we don't need - just to try it out - seems so inappropriate.
Dr. Berg, I bought the gallbladder relief for my husband who has all the symptoms & after watching several of your videos I thought I might need it too. Only problem I have is I have the throat issue where it has been stretched 4 times & I cannot swallow the caps..so, is it ok to dump into my mouth? I just tried it & (YUCK). That was rough. Lol. My husband has bloating & a very sharp pain in his left side that comes & goes. We are just about to call for a Drs. appt & saw this, so gonna get him on these for this bottle & see how it goes 1st. You are a blessing.❤

@Punisher for me personally it did not, it made me feel worse. But what did help me was a supliments called lypo gold for fat digestion by enzymedica, because I was having a problems digesting fats. It’s trial and error. Rifaxamin was the only thing that helped cure the Sibo in the end, multiple courses of it
@Punisher I tried the natural route of berbarine and oregano oil with a nutritionist but the berbarine gave me a sugar drop and the oregano oil made me feel like I had a flu, so that’s why I gave into (I never take pharmaceuticals) takin refaxamin (it had no side effects). The digestive enzymes made me feel to acidic after a month of taking them (I don’t mean acid reflux I mean my toungue get sore if I eat to much acidic stuff), the only time I’ll take a digestive enzyme is if eating out and eating a massive variety of rich foods ie if its a party or eating a buffet, but again it’s different for everyone, usually DE help Sibo but I got my Sibo by tacking a molecular hydrogen supplement with bannana for a whole year for a pre workout and then at the end of the year I took bicarbonate soda to kill a flue which further alkaline your stomach
Hi! Yes most definitely it is recommended for persons without a Gallbladder. You can try Dr. Berg's Gallbladder Formula. It contains purified bile salts that will help to support digestion.

Hello. I do not have the constipation or diarrhea, but I am beginning to think I have SIBO Does anyone else on here have sibo but not the constipation and diarrhea? I am seeing a Kinesiologist and have seen other health professionals. It is hard because I have not been well for a very long time. Anxiety, depression and fatigue. I take tons of supplements and eat super well. I feel better when I haven't eaten. I am eating two meals a day. Just curious if anyone else may be like me? What I have is feeling full more at the top of my stomach. It makes me feel out of breath and tired after eating. I have struggled with Candida for many years. I am learning soooo much from Dr. Berg. I have his nutritional yeast. I've tried other products of his.
I had my gall bladder remove because I could never have any fats without getting noxious. Someone have me delicious lemon pound cake. I almost passed out, I got so sick. I found out later it was so good because of the butter in it. Not the only time.
Can you clarify when to take the bile salts? Earlier video said to take after a meal - I think I heard on this one to take on an empty stomach? No gallbladder, started taking bile salts a couple weeks ago (after dinner). Trying to heal fatty liver.
I want to know how and when to take Betaine HCL and Oxi Bile Salt/for Constipation? Should I take both together in an empty stomach??? -I was taken Betaine HCL / 10-15 min before the meal (Is that time ok?) 🤔🤔🤔 -and taking Oxi Bile Salt quick, after the meal. -(Is that time ok to take Oxi Bile Salt , or How many minutes, after the meal?) 🤔🤔🤔 -(And how much of Oxi Bile Salt I have to take for Constipation???) Thanks!
Help! Your video 12/19/19 on when not to take bike salts says don’t taken them if you have Sibo, but this video say To take them. So confused. Please reply which video is correct. Thanks.
Dr Berg, thank you for taking time to teach us about the processes that occur within the intestinal tract and how different organs are involved in the synthesis of what we put in our mouths. I wish my doctor was as thorough as you explaining the importance of the gallbladder before I had it removed at the end of 2020. Is it normal after removal to always have green stool? That is my problem now and I don’t know if it’s because of not having a gallbladder or because I decided to embark on getting rid of a fatty liver using Kefir, kale and blueberries in a smoothie every morning. I think you were the one that recommended that in one of your videos. What do you think?
In the video "Never Take Bile Salts with These 3 Conditions" you said bile salts are not good for SIBO. Now you are saying the opposite. What's the truth?
I would really like to hear the answer to that, because my naturopathic doctor believes I have SIBO and I am trying to do as much as I can to rectify the situation.
Just watched 2 videos on bile salts. One says not to take them if you have SIBO and this says you should. I am trying to get to the root of my wife`s low iron absorption issues. Back to the drawing board I guess.
Low stomach acid and low bile created SIBO for me. It’s causing me massive inflammation and I’m in a state of hypothyroidism because of it (low t3 syndrome). I’m losing weight a lot. It’s scary. Just bought bile. Let’s see if this works.
@@brianlittrell797 I didn’t. I’m still dealing with it. I took Itraconazole 400 mg a day for 2 months and gave myself heart issues. I’m dealing with that now, but the Itraconazole was definitely working. So I would advise you to take Itraconazole 200mg a day for a few months. Don’t take more than 200mg a day, you might hurt your body like I did.
I’m a bit confused- the liver makes the bile, the gallbladder is just the storage bin. So if the gallbladder is removed, the bile just goes from the liver to the small intestine. So why would there be a reason to take a bile salt supplement? The body doesn’t stop making bile just because the gallbladder is removed.
I think it's about a larger quantity of food needing more bile salts. The gallbladder should provide a large dose if needed while the liver alone would just ooze small amounts over a longer period.
Hi Alison, feel free to check these videos out regarding your question! th-cam.com/video/N9LvfK1XSwM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Hw4MdZQYCwY/w-d-xo.html
Hello Dr. Berg very helpful video as usual, one question, can you offer an explanations on how a fatty liver affects bile production and gallbladder function. I was recently diagnosed with fatty liver and gall bladder sludge and Iv’e been dealing with weird stools, gas and brain fog.
@@maztergee got rid of it by just losing weight and fasting. The brain fog was actually being caused by lack of sleep from sleep apnea, vitamin d deficiency and anxiety. I've fixed most of it and its gotten a lot better.
@@Pablito5614 can you tell me how you got better? How is your health now? I'm also suffering from galblader slude and bile deficiency? Can plz tell me what you have done?
I think Dr. Berg has mentioned in his videos that the best way to lessen candida to a balanced bacteria is to do Intermittent Fasting for candida and yeast.
This is what I understood that Salt Bile is good to take if you have Sibo Methane for constipation. The Salt bile will help flush out. But if you have Sibo Diarrhea is NOT a good idea to take Salt bile because it'll make Diarrhea worst. Salt bile is like a detergent that flushes the small intestine. This is what I understood about when to take Salt bile on the other video. Diarrhea sibo probably needs like a binder to slow it down. I'm going to try the Salt bile with my constipation. I'll come back and update if it helps or not. Words of advice. DON'T EXPECT TO HEAL IF YOU CONTINUE TO EAT GARBAGE! My Sibo came from antibiotics 😔.
@@riotide9013 I'm dealing with a stomach ulcer and I was afraid to take it alone. So I put it I'm my smoothie and makes it taste bad. But I don't think I'm getting the benifits of it. I'm also taking a very small dose and that could be the reason why I'm not getting good results.
@@TunjiBashar go see a naturalpath Doctor. They will take a stool test and target the bad bacteria. Easy fix in 3 to 6 months. Change of diet is the big key. I posted what I was taking on my TH-cam channel
Hi Dr. Berg, It was mentioned in the video to take bile salts and betaine on an empty stomach. When I spoke to my doctor and pharmacist they mentioned to take with food. Can you please tell me why on an empty stomach and would they cause gastric irritation/ulcers/lesions? Thank you!
I think because Bile salt is alkaline and it will negatively affect the digestion of food, as food needs acid to be digested properly. Dr. Berg mentioned it in another video.
Dr. Berg is a blessing to the world by practicing medicine with integrity and the benefit of people. Bravo! I have SIBO, Gerd, Acid Reflux, and after your advice I am doing much better. Thank You..

You mentioned bile salts on empty stomach. This is done how many hours or minutes before eating
The role of bile (and bile salts) in the body is to:
aid digestion by breaking down fats.
help absorb fat-soluble vitamins.
eliminate waste products.👍
Also to seal up leaky gut. So cool.

Get supper enzyme from now it contains ox bile ... It has helped me a lot
Great explanation, thank you, you are awesome Dr Berg.
Dr BERG🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💖💖💖💖💖
7 months ago you made a video explaining why you SHOULDN’T take bile salts if you have SIBO ??? What has changed ??? Please answer !!!!
Yes he did !
Exactly - I was wondering the same. I wish, he would answer.
Dr berg you said... People with diarrhea dominent SIBO should not take bile salts🤔🤔🤔🤔????
I don’t know but I have SIBO and bile salts are making me happy and no more bloat or pain or bile duct pain.
@@chaimomma9198 what brand do you take?
Thank you Dr Berg for this amazing video i have this problem SIBO low stomach acid and bile flow and gallbladder issues when eating high fat this video helps explain so well..
DR Berg please do a video on 42 days postpartum diet...Thank you

Hope it helps answer your question!
@@Drberg thank you Dr Berg
Hi Dr. Berg, thank you for your informative videos. However, in this video you recommend bile salts for SIBO, and in another video you state that bile salts should never be used with a condition of SIBO. So this is confusing..??
I really need an answer on whether to take bike salts or not, too.
I have SIBO and the doctor’s antibiotics treatment didn’t help.

So diligent when teaching , I watch videos over and over. Dr. Berg!!! Simply awesome!
You have a video telling us not to use bile salts if you have SIBO. Which one is it Dr? Thank you.
Yes I saw this in one of the gallbladder videos
And I am also confused
I am praying for an answer
He made this video 9 months after (probably to clarify his mistake as he’s still learning daily) and had advised to take it on a empty stomach, might have to try it out on a empty stomach first thing in the morning to set me up for the day (cause it recycles) to see if it works or not for me. I’ll try it every few days once a day and up it to once a day until I get bad signs like diarrhoea or pains in my bottom right abdomen ileocecal valve (the valve between the small and large intestine). Everyone’s different so see how it works for you
@@Lucid_Anomaly Right. In old videos I’m think he used to say not to take it on an empty stomach because bile salts are alkaline and will negate your stomach acids ability to digest and to take them after a meal. But I believe now he says it’s best taken on an empty stomach.
@@Lucid_Anomaly how has the bile salts done for you?
@@ThisIsNotMyHome I didn’t work well for me because I started having stomach pains, but I suppose it’s best to try it an see how you feel. Try it with a meal and try it on a empty stomach
@Dr Eric Berg DC. I sure hope you don’t miss my previous comment that I posted a few minute ago. I do look forward to hearing from you and thank you once again for trying to help so many through your teachings!
Hey there, I’m curious what’s ur thoughts on Rays Peates approach, his ways of nutrition for woman, his opposition to fasting and how fasting harms hormones especially for woman, thyroid health and how it affects our ability to lose or gain weight. The fact that human should not stay in Ketosis because Ketosis doesn’t make us lose weight but our most important gland does - thyroid. And when we heal thyroid we don’t need to torture ourselves with fasting and Ketosis . How fasting is bad for women, estrogen dominance etc . Plus how important to understand cooper and iron function in the body . And woman should donate blood constantly coz we are not deficient in iron but the opposite etc .
I ve just watched a video of yours '' when not to take bile salts'', you mentioned SIBO. That video was 11 months ago. So, I am a bit confused, if you have sibo, or sth goes wrong in your intestines, is it OK to take bile salts?
I watched that one too.
WE NEED CLARIFICATION DR. BERG!
Same!!! What I’m thinking of doing is take bile salts and if I notice my symptoms worsen then I’ll know. I have sibo and I’ve noticed this happens after I did a liver cleanse, which involed purging the gallbladder of all its bile. So mmm maybe bile salts is what I need? We’ll see
@@mire1390 it seems to help me!
I was just thinking this
Yes and what kind of Bile salts, I bought one that had 20 minerals and it gave me the worst headache! I’m confused too?
Dr berg, what dose of bile salts helps sibo (150mg? 500mg?) and how often should it be taken a day?
Hi there! Dr. Berg might recommend a type of supplement but does not get into specifics- you'll have to do this research yourself.

@@tanyawieczorek7943 i have abox here it says 1000 mg x 4 serving size so just start with one
Thanks very much for such valuable informations GOD BLESS YOU Dr. Berg 🙏👏💐
Thank you, Dr Berg😉
You are so welcome!
I wish, when you do videos that involve anything to do with the gall bladder, that you would address the issue of those of us who no longer have one. Many people these days don't. I regret having been convinced of this as a solution, before trying a cleanse, but I did have it removed as my doctor at the time insisted that it was necessary. and when I see these videos of yours that involve the gall bladder and don't address this I just get confused. I already take essential enzymes every day with my first meal - after a 16 hr. fast most days - but I still have loose bowels, very little pain though. Supplements are expensive and these days wasting money on supplements that we don't need - just to try it out - seems so inappropriate.
you should enter "Dr. Berg gall bladder" into the youtube search engine, because he's got TONS of information out here on that. I mean, TONS!!!

@@brusselsprout5851 lol right the gallbladder is actually his favorite organ!
Dr. Berg, I bought the gallbladder relief for my husband who has all the symptoms & after watching several of your videos I thought I might need it too. Only problem I have is I have the throat issue where it has been stretched 4 times & I cannot swallow the caps..so, is it ok to dump into my mouth? I just tried it & (YUCK). That was rough. Lol.
My husband has bloating & a very sharp pain in his left side that comes & goes. We are just about to call for a Drs. appt & saw this, so gonna get him on these for this bottle & see how it goes 1st. You are a blessing.❤
Hi Dr Berg!!! I was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis last year...any help would be so appreciated!! Thank you for all your videos!!!!

This video says good for SIBO, the never take never take bile salts for these 3 conditions video states dont take bile salts for SIBO

@Punisher for me personally it did not, it made me feel worse. But what did help me was a supliments called lypo gold for fat digestion by enzymedica, because I was having a problems digesting fats. It’s trial and error. Rifaxamin was the only thing that helped cure the Sibo in the end, multiple courses of it
@Punisher I tried the natural route of berbarine and oregano oil with a nutritionist but the berbarine gave me a sugar drop and the oregano oil made me feel like I had a flu, so that’s why I gave into (I never take pharmaceuticals) takin refaxamin (it had no side effects). The digestive enzymes made me feel to acidic after a month of taking them (I don’t mean acid reflux I mean my toungue get sore if I eat to much acidic stuff), the only time I’ll take a digestive enzyme is if eating out and eating a massive variety of rich foods ie if its a party or eating a buffet, but again it’s different for everyone, usually DE help Sibo but I got my Sibo by tacking a molecular hydrogen supplement with bannana for a whole year for a pre workout and then at the end of the year I took bicarbonate soda to kill a flue which further alkaline your stomach
Another great video! Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching!
My gallbladder was removed and my food doesn't digest easily. Should I take bile salts?
I don't have my gallbladder and have the same problems as well. Sometimes I feel like I am chocking with gas. I would like to know as well
Nani S
I gave up asking questions long ago. He has too many comments to answer questions I think. I too have had my gall bladder removed.
I don't have gallbladder, got bile salts, but can't take it, it hurts....
Hi! Yes most definitely it is recommended for persons without a Gallbladder. You can try Dr. Berg's Gallbladder Formula. It contains purified bile salts that will help to support digestion. I placed a link down below that will take you straight to the product page. Please feel free to check it out

Can we take bile salt as supplement even though we dont have SIBO problem?
If your bile is flowing normally then its not necessary
Hi! Yes you can.

@@Drberg how about taking bile salts with coffee in the morning? ..
@@Drberg
Hello dr how we can contact you?
Hello. I do not have the constipation or diarrhea, but I am beginning to think I have SIBO Does anyone else on here have sibo but not the constipation and diarrhea? I am seeing a Kinesiologist and have seen other health professionals. It is hard because I have not been well for a very long time. Anxiety, depression and fatigue. I take tons of supplements and eat super well. I feel better when I haven't eaten. I am eating two meals a day. Just curious if anyone else may be like me? What I have is feeling full more at the top of my stomach. It makes me feel out of breath and tired after eating. I have struggled with Candida for many years. I am learning soooo much from Dr. Berg. I have his nutritional yeast. I've tried other products of his.
I’m confused bc I just saw another dr Berg video where he says don’t take bile salts for sibo?
Me too... Just mentioned that
put the ilnk to it here
Where the video? Post it
@@jeantea7109 dunno
Same I just saw it too and posted a comment on it
Very dedicated and smart, thank you!
Is it dangerous to use bile salts if you already have enough of it?
I had my gall bladder remove because I could never have any fats without getting noxious. Someone have me delicious lemon pound cake. I almost passed out, I got so sick. I found out later it was so good because of the butter in it. Not the only time.
Briliant video Doc,,thanks a lot,,,,
Love you bile.
With betain I have stomach pain and the same with oregano. After 1 week of oregano I had to treat my stomach for a few weeks.
Im confused now because a video 9 mos ago said don't take bile with sibo.. im assuming I should go with the most resent information
Yes this is very confusing!
Exactly I was going to ask the same
I think if you have constipation, you should take it, but not if you have diarrhea. There’s 2 kinds of sibo
I have constipation and take bio salts but I still don't go. I have to take calm and it makes me go but runny though.
@@blankface_but i have diarrhoea and constipation both ...what I have sir please reply??
Thank you, great synch, just what I needed to digest, lol.
Can you clarify when to take the bile salts? Earlier video said to take after a meal - I think I heard on this one to take on an empty stomach? No gallbladder, started taking bile salts a couple weeks ago (after dinner). Trying to heal fatty liver.
@Are You Coherent - LOL love your name - I ordered from Amazon before I found out Dr Berg has a gallbladder blend - will try his next time
Hi Tina, you can take it after your meal.
I want to know how and when to take Betaine HCL and Oxi Bile Salt/for Constipation?
Should I take both together in an empty stomach???
-I was taken Betaine HCL / 10-15 min before the meal (Is that time ok?)
🤔🤔🤔
-and taking Oxi Bile Salt quick, after the meal.
-(Is that time ok to take Oxi Bile Salt , or How many minutes, after the meal?)
🤔🤔🤔
-(And how much of Oxi Bile Salt I have to take for Constipation???)
Thanks!
Wow! I never knew bile can be so helpful
Thanks for watching!
Seriously, you need to talk to the people at "The Discovery Channel" about a show.
Help! Your video 12/19/19 on when not to take bike salts says don’t taken them if you have Sibo, but this video say To take them. So confused. Please reply which video is correct. Thanks.
Thanks dr. This is good information 👍
Very glad to be of help.
Dr. Eric Berg DC thanks , I learn s lot from your channel 😀
Dr Berg, thank you for taking time to teach us about the processes that occur within the intestinal tract and how different organs are involved in the synthesis of what we put in our mouths. I wish my doctor was as thorough as you explaining the importance of the gallbladder before I had it removed at the end of 2020. Is it normal after removal to always have green stool? That is my problem now and I don’t know if it’s because of not having a gallbladder or because I decided to embark on getting rid of a fatty liver using Kefir, kale and blueberries in a smoothie every morning. I think you were the one that recommended that in one of your videos. What do you think?
Here's a video that may help with that! th-cam.com/video/YHH6B1ZqsLU/w-d-xo.html
In the video "Never Take Bile Salts with These 3 Conditions" you said bile salts are not good for SIBO.
Now you are saying the opposite.
What's the truth?
I would really like to hear the answer to that, because my naturopathic doctor believes I have SIBO and I am trying to do as much as I can to rectify the situation.
Right? This confused me also.
Me too
Just watched 2 videos on bile salts. One says not to take them if you have SIBO and this says you should. I am trying to get to the root of my wife`s low iron absorption issues. Back to the drawing board I guess.
I was wondering that too. I am very confused
Yaaah.
Thts called the Real Gentleman Doctor.
Low stomach acid and low bile created SIBO for me. It’s causing me massive inflammation and I’m in a state of hypothyroidism because of it (low t3 syndrome). I’m losing weight a lot. It’s scary. Just bought bile. Let’s see if this works.
Did it work?
@@ezra4518 it wasn’t SIBO, it was mold colonization.
@@justlol7281 How did you heal from the mold colonization?
@@brianlittrell797 I didn’t. I’m still dealing with it. I took Itraconazole 400 mg a day for 2 months and gave myself heart issues. I’m dealing with that now, but the Itraconazole was definitely working. So I would advise you to take Itraconazole 200mg a day for a few months. Don’t take more than 200mg a day, you might hurt your body like I did.
@@brianlittrell797I didn’t. I’m on the verge of dying.
Good one
I’m a bit confused- the liver makes the bile, the gallbladder is just the storage bin. So if the gallbladder is removed, the bile just goes from the liver to the small intestine. So why would there be a reason to take a bile salt supplement? The body doesn’t stop making bile just because the gallbladder is removed.
I think it's about a larger quantity of food needing more bile salts. The gallbladder should provide a large dose if needed while the liver alone would just ooze small amounts over a longer period.
It's because your Gall bladder makes the bile concentrated upto 20 times. If GB is removed you get very dilluted bile. Hence bile salts required.
Kathirvel K S that makes sense. Thank you

In another video doctor telling not to use bile salt in SIBO,hypertension and etc but again in this video the opposite
Hello Dr. Berg very helpful video as usual, one question, can you offer an explanations on how a fatty liver affects bile production and gallbladder function. I was recently diagnosed with fatty liver and gall bladder sludge and Iv’e been dealing with weird stools, gas and brain fog.
how are you now?
@@maztergee got rid of it by just losing weight and fasting. The brain fog was actually being caused by lack of sleep from sleep apnea, vitamin d deficiency and anxiety. I've fixed most of it and its gotten a lot better.

You literally have a video named: "Never Take Bile Salts with These 3 Conditions" which includes SIBO in these 3 conditions.
hi Dr. Berg, very interesting, thank you. Quick one: could you do a video on IF/Keto and healing process post-surgery?
Hi! Thank you for the video suggestion. I will check with Dr. Berg with doing a video on this subject.

What brand of bile works well please??????
What is the correct course of action if you have H pylori and SIBO?
Does bile kill candida/yeast too?
I'm curious of that as well
I think Dr. Berg has mentioned in his videos that the best way to lessen candida to a balanced bacteria is to do Intermittent Fasting for candida and yeast.
So the bile should be taken on an empty stomach? While fasting o before a meal? Why not during a meal to aid digestion? I don't get it.
Would u make a video about zeominerals, please?
The best👍👍info Thank you
I appreciate that and thanks for following!
This is what I understood that Salt Bile is good to take if you have Sibo Methane for constipation. The Salt bile will help flush out. But if you have Sibo Diarrhea is NOT a good idea to take Salt bile because it'll make Diarrhea worst. Salt bile is like a detergent that flushes the small intestine. This is what I understood about when to take Salt bile on the other video. Diarrhea sibo probably needs like a binder to slow it down. I'm going to try the Salt bile with my constipation. I'll come back and update if it helps or not. Words of advice. DON'T EXPECT TO HEAL IF YOU CONTINUE TO EAT GARBAGE! My Sibo came from antibiotics 😔.
Any updates ?
@@riotide9013 I'm dealing with a stomach ulcer and I was afraid to take it alone. So I put it I'm my smoothie and makes it taste bad. But I don't think I'm getting the benifits of it. I'm also taking a very small dose and that could be the reason why I'm not getting good results.
@@rafaelthemotivator how’re you feeling now. I think I have SIBO/constipation. I don’t pass stool often, I don’t know if I should take bile salt😢

You're most welcome.
Hi Dr. Berg,
It was mentioned in the video to take bile salts and betaine on an empty stomach. When I spoke to my doctor and pharmacist they mentioned to take with food. Can you please tell me why on an empty stomach and would they cause gastric irritation/ulcers/lesions?
Thank you!
I think because Bile salt is alkaline and it will negatively affect the digestion of food, as food needs acid to be digested properly. Dr. Berg mentioned it in another video.
I am taking Dr. Bergs bile salts and its written in the bottle take it with food.
Please make a video on whether I can do a liver flush with fatty liver.
I have fatty liver also and found what I think/ hope is good info with motivational Doc. He has several vids on the health of the liver
I am taking oregano oil treating my SIBO now. Can I also add olive leaf extract too?
