I declined to remove my gall bladder ten years ago. My doctor was a professor at Columbia, and he lied to me ... he said that gall bladders cannot be healed. I just somehow knew that was wrong. I changed my diet and went back a bit over a year later and tested normal. When I asked him how that could have happened, he just silently flipped through my chart like he was thinking about something else and didn't hear me. I learned a lot from that experience. I still have my gall bladder. I now understand how it works, why I need it, and how I can support it in the future. Knowledge is good.
Hi D N. Almost a year ago I discovered that I had many stones in the gallbladder. Since that time I have done a paleo diet. I have never had pain again but I know they are still there because sometimes I feel a little discomfort. In your case, the stones disappeared? what is your diet?
@@sebastianpauluchak7361 Hi! I did not have stones. They told me I had a diseased gall bladder, I suppose due to an observed problem with the fat that was injected. Anyway, I go with keto with intermittent fasting, and then I do an extended fast three or four times a year. I know there is a gall bladder flush protocol for stones, but I have never used it. If you add ox bile supplements to your diet, you may get some relief from the discomfort. I wish you all the best!
1. Intermittent Fasting - It reduce insulin 2. Healthy ketogenic diet and NOT low fat diet 3. Bile salts 4. ACV / Fennel - Increase the flow of digestive juices and bile through the liver. Thank you Dr Berg
It is so sad, but I am not trusting my doctor anymore. 1 year ago I came over to check out my gall bladder. She didn't ask me , what I was eating, what was my diet. She cared less about it. She just told me ,if the pain will become worse, they could remove it. Wow! Isn't she a good doctor, waiting until it is going to be a really bad. So I decided, I have to do something and watched a lot of videos. I went through a healthy diet. And now I am in a good shape and so thankful. May God bless you doctor Berg! 🙏
My gallbladder was removed in 2006, and that was exactly 16 years ago, but luckily I have never any problems after that, I am healthy and I eat everything without any problems. It was removed because it has stones inside and got infected inside the gallbladder too, then I had a serious stomach pain one day and I was vomiting and hardly walked downstairs, and that was exactly 2 weeks after I had a baby with through a CS operation, and that baby today is a young tall handsome man. I bless God for his mercy upon me and my beautiful family.
Had near 50stones in mine, I was literally collapsed with excruciating pain and taken to hospital where they removed the gallbladder, it was the best thing I did. But now going to take note of Dr Bergs food diet etc.
I had my gallbladder removed a year ago. Gallstones were found several years ago during an unrelated ultrasound, but I had NO PAIN symptoms. I took a HIDA scan test to determine if there was a bile blockage and there was absolutely zero pass-thru. It was suggested that I have my gallbladder removed immediately, which I did. During the surgery, the doctor discovered that my gallbladder had become necrotized and was literally falling apart. Had I let it go, it could have become MUCH more serious. DON'T think that your gallbladder is fine just because you don't have any pain. I eat normally and have had zero complications after my colectomy, and I'm thankful that I decided to have it removed when I did.
Good to know that you are feeling better now after removing GB. I am 42 from India, have diagnosed multi gallstones size between 4 - 7 mm... I dont have right shoulder or back pain, but bloating and heaviness in chest ,between rig cage, also right side constant head pressure or heaviness. May I know is it related to GB stones. one doctor said its related to GB stone , other 3 Gastros saying its not related to GB stone, its GERD. I am totally confused. your inputs please.
@@ulaganathanc1463 - I know it's frustrating to not be able to get definitive answers from your doctor. I've had GERD for years as well, a persistent pain in the sternum that felt like someone was squeezing my esophagus inside my chest, and I am convinced that both conditions (GERD and gallstones) interact with each other somehow. Many years ago, I discovered DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice), a cheap, safe, easily obtained (Amazon) natural supplement made from licorice root that coats the stomach and promotes healing of the stomach lining and esophagus. It was a miracle cure that made my GERD 100% controllable. I highly recommend chewing on one 1/2 hour before each meal for a week or two and see if your GERD improves. As for the gallstones, I am not a doctor, but I would ask your doctor about taking a HIDA test if you have access to one, to see if your gallbladder is even functioning. The thing about gallstones is that they will never get better or go away; there is no cure but removal of the gall bladder. You also don't want to live with the risk of having a major attack at any time over your head for the rest of your life. Good luck!
@@ulaganathanc1463I would not trust gastros. The symptoms you describe seems to be related to gallstones. Just a matter of time until your shoulder aches as well.
Thank you for this. Found out I had gallstones a few months ago when one got loose. Luckily it moved through on its own. But I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday to have my gallbladder removed. There are a few stones in there. I'm concerned because I already have issues with vitamin D deficiency, and I have bad acid reflux. I heard that can get worse.
@@11283brandyl- You are welcome. BTW- I suffered with acid reflux for many years, including sleeping on a wedge pillow for much of that time. I found out about DGL (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice) and it all but cured my acid reflux within months.
My gallbladder is doing great thanks to you Dr Berg. Mom and sister had it taken out already, and a year ago I started to have pain when eating fat meals as well. I found your channel one night that I was woken up by pain at 2am. I started to cut the carbs and bought oxbile salts, after a few months I had no more symptoms. A year later I don't have any issue with digesting fats anymore. Thanks for all you do.
I had 33 gallstones. One got caught in my bile duct. I had mine removed via the old fashioned way. 5 years later, three more gallstones ended up happening.I needed to have another operation. I was 27. Years later, I was diagnosed with NASH. I had a liver biopsy and said I had limited or slight scarring. Then I had weight loss surgery a few years later. I lost 260 lbs. But I a really deficient in vitamins even though I take many supplements. I feel like I am in a downward spiral, sometimes. I am currently taking your Gallbladder supplements and am finally on an almost regular schedule. I am so glad I found this. Thanks so much. This might have saved me.
Well, I feel a god-given duty to respond to this although you might not see it. Have you ever tried a parasite cleanse? I’ve been on one the past 22 days and a lot of my problems are going away. My liver is functioning better as well. Look it up and I’m here if you have any questions. Thanks God.
I agree w/ Dr. Berg about trying to hold onto your gallbladder. However, he's absolutely right when he says if you're gallbladder is in very bad shape then you should remove it.
Recommended Diet for alleviating gallbladder issues being discussed (per Dr. Berg's presentation board at, say, "6:50," with minor clarifying rewordings by me): (1.) Low carbohydrate (2.) Lots of vegetables (3.) Increased (healthy) fats (4.) Moderate protein (5.) Modify diary & nuts (6.) Quality of food (prefer organic & pesticide-free foods; no bad cooking oils like soy, etc)
My first gallstone felt like a heart attack. It wasn't until after my third gallstone that my doc had me have an ultrasound of my gallbladder. They said it looked like deflated balloon full of sand and gravel. Had I seen this video years ago, it would have saved me a lot of pain and frustration. I find I say that about a lot of your videos. As always, thank you Dr. Berg. PS - based on another of you videos, I now take ox bile.
@@leondbleondb It certainly hasn't hurt. Honestly, I really should create a log of my specific food intake and compare it to my subsequent bowel movements. The problem is that I've done a lot health improvements concurrently, so it's hard to know which one is benefiting me -- or if they all are. I'm not above experimenting on myself, so this might make a good "30 days of..." video for my channel.
@@SeriousKeto even then it will help you to get your liver detoxified . There are still a large number of liver stones in your liver. It will make your energy level high. Follow Andreas Moritz on u tube . You will get all information. I am from India.
Thank you very much, and you're just astounding. Such a sad society we lived in, that the average doctor cannot explain this to patients. Everything today is about profits and nothing about health for the consumer and education. I remember I was taking a class for a master's in counseling. Here is the intro to the group therapy class and how we were told to keep patients coming back. I find that so unethical, and replied, let a person grow and if they need counseling later on, they will come back. We all have to stand on our feet.
I watch a bunch of health YT's every day, and this channel provides the most thorough pragmatic action steps concisely upon just the right amt of explanatory background info. No wasted time and far more doable user-friendly action steps than the other channels.
I had my gallbladder removed 20+ years ago. I was having horrible pain in my upper abdomen. The attacks would last between 10-30 minutes and so painful that sometimes I would pass out. An ultra sound showed my gall bladder packed full of stones. After having it removed, it took me some time to adjust, but now, I feel like I can eat pretty normally. And no more excruciating gall bladder attacks.
10-30 mins ? Lucky you lol the pain I had kept me awake the whole night, rolling around the floor, crying. I got rushed to hospital and was put on antibiotics because I had systemic infection. I would of rather of been dead, the pain was different LMAO. Mine's being removed on the 14th and I'm scared shitless tbh
@@SouLottaFunFamily I didn't, if I had more time I would of tried things but I don't think anything would of worked in a couple of weeks. I had it took out last week and I feel good
I been dealing with attacks for 2 years now just far apart from each other and they always happen when doing keto diet. I tried Dr bergs bile salts was good for 6 months but still ended up in the ER 😢 find out I had two stones stuck in bile duct and my stones are small in gallbladder with sludge but not a lot so idk if it was meant to be but bile salts didn’t help me. I had to have emergency surgery. I’m doing great now and will stick with a healthy gallbladder diet. Can’t say I didn’t try though. Don’t feel bad if you have to get it removed. It saved my life! I was showing signs of infection 😢
I swear..., no diabetes, no kidney stones, no gal bla stones, no stress 😖only BP.. Even that, under control because I am been treated by a best doc like u... Praise the Lord.. Amen 🙏👍
Had pain from stones the size of sand. Doctor "assured" me that the gallbladder isn't needed. Trusted him and had it removed. I've suffered with Gerd for 6 years and will forever. A side effect of Gerd is Globus Sensation which is absolutely maddening. I've been on meds for gerd for over a year with no real relief. (No gallbladder->Bile reflux->Gerd->globus sensation->depression) Thanks doc!
Omg ive been suffering from shoulder pain 15 years now and going for massage taking medicines plus upper stomach pain. It was killing me. Ive seen many doctors but nobody no one helped me as you did from only your explanation. Thank you doctor
Unfortunately I had to have mine removed in 1993. Full of stones, the surgeon was amazed, by the number and the size of 2 of the stones. I had bad diet, and bad habits. Taking Bile salts, since I started Keto last January. No one told me about post gall bladder problems. Your video's really help explain so much of my health history. Thank you!
Isn’t anyone worried about the pushing of the Keto Diet, and the fact the good Doctor is selling his own Bile Salts. I follow Dr. Berg and his breaking down of health issues but I am starting to be suspicious. Anyone else feeling this way.
You’ve missed possibly the most important cause off, which is stress. Stress will increase cortisol, along with pulse rate ( adrenaline ), and cholesterol, which is needed for all adrenal hormone production ( so the production of adrenaline and cortisol ). Under a stressed state, parasympathetic function is decreased ( rest, digest and repair mode ), meaning everything involved in digestion. So you’ll have low stomach acid, enzyme production and bile production, equating to high cholesterol, high cortisol with low bile.
I had my gallbladder removed after having an attack that led to pancreatitis. I was so sick, lying in the hospital bed in agony, blood in my urine, lab work was terrible. I begged them to take it out, actually. Anything to make it stop. Morphine and fentanyl didn’t work on the pain, I ended up on a pain pump of dilaudid. That stuff knocked me out! I basically slept for 3 days and then when the pancreatitis cleared up they removed my gallbladder. Fortunately I have had no side effects from its removal and I’m glad it’s gone if it means never feeling that pain again.
Thank you for this very informative video. I just had my gallstones problem and watching your video gaved me a better understanding. Truly appreciated!
I did a fast one day and at evening drank a mixture of olive oil and lemon and laid on my right side two hours before bed, the next day I spent all day on the toilet passing gall stones, green marbles and was not bothers with the gall bladder for ten years, this recipe came from Dr David Spicer in ft smith Arkansas and I can tell you from experience it works, I just need to do it again.
Wow! What kind of detox did you do? Just olive oil and lemon? I didn’t know people could pass gallstones. I thought that’s why they had surgeries to remove it.
You can still get the info from the dr but it is around half and half extra virgin olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon, he recommends organic but not necessary, make a full glass, large glass like 12 oz and I would drink a fourth every 15 minutes until gone then lay on right side watching a movie two hrs. All this on an empty stomach and when I woke up I spent most of the day passing stones and felt sick until the next day and I felt better then I had in years, the lemon softens the stones and the oil helps pass them, you will see bright emerald green stones ping pong ball size in the toilet. Check out Dr David Spicer Ft Smith Arkansas and you can get the directions, I was amazed and need to do it again, it last ten years according to the Dr and I was feeling the pain again about 12 yrs after I did it but you have to set aside two days, one to fast and one to, well sit and go.
They wanted to take mine out. That's the only "treatment" they have. I kept it. I lost my gallbladder. No doc. Told me about diet change or alternatives.
They just want to make money on the surgery. They do not care about your suffering afterwards. My nodules are not cancerous! I have had several biopsies. I am keeping my thyroid. All my hormone levels are normal!
@@Keep-on-ok Exactly! I tell my clients this all the time. They could easily remove the stones, if there is too many, once they open you up without removing it and give you info on diet. But noooo!
I have familiar hyperlipidemia and cholelithiasis with calcified stones. The gastroenterologist just wanted to cut out my gall bladder but I said no. I started watching carbs, drinking A.V.C. and taking ox bile as well as eating fermented foods. My upper abdomen has gone down in size ( liver ? ), and I feel much better. Only a periodic shoulder pain now, very seldom. I also have hyper-thyroidism with multi-nodular goiter, not associated with a disease and feel that they are connected in some way. I still have my thyroid and am on medication that has increased my T.S.H. And Vitamin D back to normal. I also now eat organic grass fed beef and butter, take K-2, Serrapeptase and M.S.M.. I will continue doing what is working for me because I believe that we have all our organs for a reason and do my best to keep them working, even in the condition they are in. Through your videos, I am becoming educated in how my body works. Thank you, Dr.Berg. 😊
The only nutritionist I follow these days. I went to my GP with the symptoms described with my right shoulder. He had no idea what it was. He recommended I see a physio to try help. I have private insurance so they paid for it but it made no difference to the pain. A complete waste of time and I thought this would be the case as I knew there was more to it. Now I understand it. I've had stones before which my GP also knew about. He has my medical history. I get the slight discomfort under the right rib page. Next time I get it I will try message it to see if the right shoulder pain goes away. I am not sure why there are so many useless GPs. I think they achieve their goal in life and then just give up. This is why I follow I subscribe. For me as part of my profession I learn every single day. Even if it means going through stuff I already know just so I do not forget and so I can verify I already know it. I'm an SME and this is what it takes. However, I have a massive interest in health and nutrition as well which is not my profession but something I love for personal reasons.. after all nothing... .absolutely nothing is more important than health. I can't think of any topic more interesting or fundamental to anyone. Thinking about it further I realise GPs are not experts when it comes to nutrition. They study drugs only but never tackle the source of the problem. This is a big problem. Dr Berg is by far and away the best out there when it comes to know how. I no longer follow anyone else. Please keep the videos coming. I also forward them to friends and they thank me for it.. if they are not following you already that is. I've got a health and nutrition friend in New Jersey and she is addicted to your channel now after I sent them just one of your videos.
I am a 42 y/o woman and I have never been on birth control. I just knew instinctively at 19 that it cant be good for my body. Now over time I am finding more and more reasons that prove my instincts were correct with regards to birth control
I changed my diet and no more pain related issues due to gallbladder and I still have mine. Lost weight and exercising again, feel so much better. I never drank soft drinks but avoid all soft drinks, I’m eating small amounts of meat, I’m eating more salmon, cruciferous veggies, my pain was in my lower right back area and I thought it was a muscle cramp.
Would you have an arm or even ear lobe removed due to severe or recurrent pain? NO! Not unless it was life-threatening. You could live without those parts too. Make the dietary and supplement changes needed and you likely avoid surgery. If it gets removed, you have to make those changes anyway. Plus you get a lifetime of side effects.
Thank you Doc! Because of your videos I still have my gallbladder. Looking back, yes I didn’t consumed too much carbs and fried food. The blood test showed I had fatty liver. My waist was always tight, bloated and People thought I was pregnant. Now I cut back to almost zero on saturated fats and consuming mostly fruits, vegetables and protein only. I don’t drink ‘liquid candies’. I feel great but I will remember forever what inflamed gallbladder attacked was like. Every step felt like a knife in the abdomen. It was awful.
@@foziaa1459 Sorry I know this is a year late but im only 20 and refuse to take my gallbladder out so what I did was cut out fast food, ate more fruit, took probiotics, ate more protein, and didn't eat dairy.
Listen to this man!! I had a really bad attack two weeks ago and I got some Gallbladder Formula from Dr Berg’s website shop ...feel better already....getting the Adrenal Kit next month
I wish I had this information in 1985. I was getting a lot of pain from my Gail bladder and the doctor said he’ll remove it cause I can get by without it. I knew nothing and just wanted the pain to go away. Now I’ve had digestive problems for 37 years. I hope Dr. Berg’s Bile Salts help.
I just came from the E.R. And that is exactly what the attending doctor said to me, “it’s just an extra organ, the body doesn’t need it” but it was the face he made while saying this to me, he looked like he didn’t believe his lie too. I am so glad I came across this. They wanted to remove my gallbladder tonight but refused. I knew I needed some time to think and do some research.
@@sonalisingh9919Hi! A little over a week after I commented, I ended up in serve pain. It was worse then labor pains. I ended up being admitted into the hospital & had my gallbladder removed the next day. I had multiple stones passing and hanging out in my gallbladder. Although I was eating clean & trying to take Dr. Berg advice, it did not work for me unfortunately.
In addition I do not regret having my gallbladder removed. The up side, I lost 15 lbs after surgery within two months and still shedding off the weight, bc now I am forced to eat clean.
I was in pain and my blood pressure was at stroke level. The doctor ordered a CT scan and told me that I didn't have gall stones. They were boulders. Plus there was a lot inflammation and infection in it. Like the doctor said in this video that is the time to take it out. I, quite frankly, can't tell any difference from when it was in. Maybe because there never was any room to store the bile. Getting old sure is fun!.
Thank you Dr Berg, for sharing vital information, I have right shoulder pain, your information has helped relieve a lot of my suffering, Thank you for caring
This is a great youtube channel. I really enjoy learning. Thanks for making these videos, i particularly enjoy your natural approach and focus on diet.
Gallbladder pain, headaches, right shoulder and neck pain have been plaguing me for months now. I refuse to ever get my gallbladder removed after seeing what it did to family. Just ordered your gallbladder formula and am making diet changes so I can’t wait to finally feel results.
@@manisss3614 idk. I’ve read a lot of positive comments Amazon about the formula, maybe too many to all be paid, but who knows. I just decided not to take it and I don’t follow a keto diet.
Thank you soo much for this information! I cannot tell you how grateful I am to see your video. I truly believe God gives you what you need. Everything in my body is sacred to me and my beliefs. They kept blaming that I was eating too much fatty foods. When I don't even consume those foods. It's inherited. But everyone before me got theirs removed. I won't have it removed because of my beliefs. Thank you again for this information!
Everything in our body has a purpose and it's all designed to work together. We weren't given disposable body parts. We pay a price when we don't take care of our bodies or allow pieces and parts to be removed, as the good Doc says. I was SO disappointed when my 21 year old granddaughter chose to allow her gallbladder to be removed. She was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I tried my best to inform her of the consequences of not addressing the root cause of her illness. We each have free will, so.....
I had my tonsils removed as an adult and was the best decision ever! God gives us common sense as well. Constant throat pain and taking steroid packs every month wasn’t healthy. 5 years later, I haven’t had a sore throat period. Get a second opinion and do research if you’re not sure, but don’t be naive when you are in pain.
I have used Swedish Bitters for 30 years. I use SB twice daily (mixed with water) as a tonic. When I’ve had a gallbladder attack, I actively dosed during the pain and the SB turned what had been a protracted, painful experience into something that I could end in short order. Gallbladders don’t like fat, caffeine, alcohol, spice, and fat. I reduced these radically and that helped too.
@@olgaolga9852 A tablespoon or two in some water, wait five or ten minutes, and dose again if pain persists. Keep doing this until the pain is resolved.
Had my cholecystectomy on Saturday and my surgeon was amazing. Everything went well and hopefully no more trips to the ER in agonizing pain! I feel like I am more healthier and boy that’s what I call an oil change, I feel rejuvenated!
@@frozengreen5597 I have had no complications other than being careful what you eat and that will be process of elimination what foods agree with you or the foods to avoid. I limit my dairy but still can have it in moderation. Be careful with constipation so have stool softeners in the medication cabinet. Other than that, I lost 10 pounds and feeling great!
@@stevemiller5545 this is so good to hear Steve! Thanks for replying. My Op date was moved and so I tried a couple of natural liver cleanses, I got just over 30 stones out but was still in pain. Another ultrasound revealed the inflammation and thickening had gone down but I still have so many stones so could be doing cleanses for years to get them all out. I have 4 small children all under age 7 and I just can’t carry on living my life with the attacks and not eating / living with food fear! My op is next week on March 18 and I just hope I have the same story as you afterwards, I’m very keen to stay keto, I limit dairy anyway and I’m not too bothered with milks/cheeses and can hopefully still just grass fed organic butter for my fats, we shall see! :-) xx
13 years ago I was having Gallbladder problems. Ironically, 6 months before had serious right shoulder injury. Which required surgery and Pt. When my Gallbladder started to act up, I worked with my doctor with diet and some medication. Even after tests after test it wasn't improving. On night, just happened to be my birthday, I got real sick. I've never been that sick before. I thought I had food poisoning. Ended up in the ER and had surgery at 10 pm. Was in the hospital for a few days. Wasn't happy about that especially I was just in 6 months prior for my shoulder. Now, I have had problems as you described on and off. Never really complained about them to any of my doctors. We have military health care so our doctor's change a lot. I will follow some of these guidelines you outlined. And make an appointment to see what else I can do. I'm in my 50s. Things hurt more than they used to. I don't want to spend the rest of my life fighting digestive issues.
I had gallstones and the doctor wanted to remove my gallbladder, but I told them no. After leaving the hospital I looked up for alternative medicine and found dr. Berg’s video and he said that he had a formula for the gallbladder. I have been talking it since almost 2 years after my gallbladder attack and have not had another attack thanks to the gallbladder formula! Thank you Dr. Berg❤️🙏
I bought here in Asia online, please tell me if it is right, it is like fine herbs inside the capsule? Please tell me if it is the same I'm scared of fake seller here in Asia
This video is the kick in the pants I needed. I have had digestive issues for a while and have fought and fought and fought against giving up dairy, for example. I recently had an ultrasound of my gallbladder. I will be getting the results later this month. Hang in there with bettering your health, fellow watchers. I am living proof that avoiding dealing with it does not improve the situation. Thank you for these videos, Dr. Berg. You are making a difference!
For years I've had awful, terrible pain with gallstones, nausea, vomiting, constipation...nothing worked to end the cramping, burning, loss of appetite. I tried a very simple remedy earlier this week that stopped my symptoms in minutes. It was extra virgin olive oil! Just a couple tablespoons with a tablespoon of lemon juice on an empty stomach - easy to do after vomiting. Often I add a tablespoon of honey for added benefits. For me, it's a miracle from God above, and to think I've had this right in front of me for years. I hope you try it and get the relief I found.
I don't have gallbladder and I am 32years old. I am having "zero" problems , no complications at all. Infact I am doing better then before. My digestion is working superb.. and if you are not doing surgery then you are only inviting more and more trouble for you . Before it's too late .. get your surgery done. It's a very small operation and recovery is really fast. And trust me. I am eating everything. Veg , non-veg . But eating little less then before and I am having no problem at all. Life is very smooth after gallbladder removal.
can i ask if what symptoms you have expereinced then?? i mean all of the symptoms because now i am having a clogged nose the reason why i am breathing in trouble in the morning but after taking decongestant meds i will be okay, but i dont have problem of stomach pain but i always have nusea
Just checking if you are still ok. My dad had his gallbladder removed because he had one stone a year ago and now he has stomach cancer. Cancer has never ran in his mother or fathers side, my dad is the first to get cancer. I’m suspecting it’s from the gallbladder removal.
Not for everyone. Most people have problems. Now the problems are more manageable than permanent pancreatitis which is a possible side effect if ones gall bladder is "packed with stones" as Dr berg described it. But if one has just a few stones and is younger, try to keep your gall bladder. It has an important function. But be realistic: will you make the lifestyle changes in diet and exercise needed to keep your gbladder healthy
@@rodneybeliso3242 removing the gbladder would not impact the stomach. It drains in below the stomach so increased bile would impact the bowel not the stomach
Thank you for your explanation, my discomfort all began with right shoulder pain. My Dr at the time ordered x-rays and put me on percocet it didn't help much . I'm in my late fifties and going thru menopause . I'm quite shocked my Dr didn't run test for this. Thanks again
Mine died and had to have it removed & it ended pains I hd endured for a long long time... I thought it was a hurt shoulder lol so... you nailed it! I still have pains but I back off eating a few days and I’m good again. Wish I had seen your videos years ago, I could have saved it!
Thank you Dr. Berg, I have a 1.7 cm gallstone. My doctor recommended a consultation with the surgeon because he says that the only way to remove the stone is to remove my gallbladder and I am terrified and very stressed. I just mentioned that I wanted to follow up on the gallstone because I have a little pain in my right ovary and a little cramping but I just turned 48 and maybe it could be related to menopause, my menstrual cycle is irregular now and sometimes it doesn't come . I told him that I don't want to remove my gallbladder because thank God I still don't have chronic pain and he told me then not to worry about the gallstone and he sent me to see a Gastroenterologist for a follow-up of the gallstone and for a Colon Screening for age. But I am sure that the specialist will advise me the same as my doctor told me. Watching this video gives me hope that maybe it could save my gallbladder, although I saw another video where they mention that gallstones larger than 1cm cannot be treated this way, I hope it's not true 🙏🏻
hello, i know your comment is 3 months ago but i want to ask you about your condition right now because im in the same situation i have one big stone 1.81cm and the doctor told me to remove it but im terrified and dont want to , i told him this is an imortant organ and turns out im right. did try medication or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy?
I had my gallbladder out when I was 28 or maybe 29. Right around that same time one of my cousins, I think, was having theirs removed. Gallbladders are one of the few organs most of my family seems to have removed. Mine was described as a lump of sludge filled scar tissue. On the positive side, which isn't saying much, all the issues I had before were still there after so removing it didn't change any of that, but not being in agonizing pain was worth it. The doctors/nurses were kind of worried when I had my procedure. That dye they use to outline/highlight the organs apparently my gallbladder never showed up because of it having no function to absorb it.
People that have hundreds of stones would have a ruptured gallbladder and be in an emergency room. I have 2. It's best to get a scan first and after if you're wanting to see actual results. those green floaty things aren't gallstones they're like jelly globs that contain bile fluid
Maria In Her 50s. mine ruptured! and I had emergency surgery, I was soooo sick! vomiting up my own bile, meaning- poop.. yes and all the tubes were the most painful especially when they pulled them out...not good
That’s why I’m scared to have kids. That pain was horrible. My mom told that I went through that and still the kid. “ Mom your grand kids are going to be adopted.”
I had an ultrasound that the doctor said showed gallstones. The surgeon wants to remove it. I had one issue where it caused me pain and now no pain at all. I recently changed my diet in a major way. I am now eating almost no sugar and very little carbs. I eat a vitamin and mineral rich high protein shake in the morning and a salad with home made vinaigrette dressing and a high protein, high fat afternoon meal. I have no pain and I have lost 25lbs in 90 days. I absolutely do not want to remove any part of my body that doesn’t cause me any discomfort.
My wife’s gallbladder is recently removed. We have the stones in a jar, I think 100 or more and one the size of a small pebble but most like small corn. Last year one stone traveled to her pancreas and she nearly died. Thanks for the upload and greetings from Netherlands.
Jorens Fibigs high fever, incredible pain in that region, not normal pain but screaming pain, like torture. The same day she was hospitalized. Stone was not removed but probably went out again by it self. Weeks later the gall bladder was removed. According doctor this was the most likely scenerio.
I wish I had known this before I had my gallbladder removed. Even though it was an emergency surgery because of how severe my condition was, I was doing a low fat diet and still too many carbs. Now, 10 years later, i'm dealing with low vitamin D and trying to get this keto thing down so that I can lose weight.
I've been 30-40 overweight for 30 years. I tried every diet and even took diet pills. Six years ago, I was rushed to the hospital and was diagnosed with GERD. I literally could not eat any carbs (rice potatoes bread sugar etc) and I lost 45 lbs I wish I knew this when I was younger.
I juiced beets, carrots, apples & ginger and drank a glass of it every morning on an empty stomach and it cleaned my gall bladder out. Felt relief after the first day and it got better each day. The recommendation I read said to drink it for 10 days but I didn’t want to take any chances and drank the juice for 3 weeks. i
@@thepriestess5969 I waited about an hour and then ate normally. Better to not have too much fat while you are doing this, some healthy fat is OK though.

I am 30 and hav diabetes. Recently got diagnosed with gallstone and fatty liver grade 2. Always fighting with obesity. In all this the answer is simple. Eat healthy and manage weight. Everything else will be in place. Hoping for the best. Surgery last option. I will eat blunt diet to save my gallbludder.
I just did a Andreas Moritz gallbladder and liver cleanse. I was shocked to see about 400 green stones floating on the toilet. How was that possible? The protocol was painless!!! It was incredible!
@@MAJAFUL No, I didn’t, I have done 4 cleanses so far and I continue seeing green stones coming out. Having an ultrasound it’s a good idea once I see no stones in the toilet ( 4-5 months hopefully) I may get one
My gallbladder was actually packed with tiny stones and sludge. I did the flush (many countless times) and to this day, I still haven't needed to get my gallbladder removed. This hasn't been an easy choice for me to be honest. It MIGHT have been easier for me to just get it taken out but I must say that I am glad that I didn't get it removed. I recently discovered that taking Lecithin is very helpful for the gallbladder as well (sunflower lecithin for men is suggested).
@Dan M7 I really should make a video on it. But let me be clear, I had to do several flushes to get where I am today. I still have pain in that area once in a while that goes away pretty quickly. Look up Dr. Hulda Clark’s Gallbladder Flush and how it's done. I took a big risk though due to the fact that my gallbladder was packed on the initial ultra sound. The next ultra sound I had after that was about 1 year later in which case they told me that there was significant gallstone reduction. That was 4 years ago since my first ultrasound. I had an ultrasound about 4 months ago and they said that I had "no visible stones". The flush does work but I wouldn't just do the flush. Look for helpful things for your gallbladder such as Malic acid, artichoke leaf extract, pectin, lecithin.
@@AmbrociousXP how long you have been doing the flush. How frequent? I got galstones to about half full in my galblader 0.5cm in size. So far I have done 4 flush since last August..planing to do 5th flush tomorrow. My second ultrasound scan also show some reduction of galblader stones.
@@unfunny9234 I lost my fight with the gallstones due to me not getting on the right diet to keep the stones from coming back. If you are going to keep doing the flushes, try and maintain a good diet that won't keep making the stones grow back. I would do about 2 flushes per month. Try to stay on a good diet for as long as you can to help the gallbladder heal.
@@AmbrociousXP oh wow..I was encouraged by your journey. Did you ultimately have to remove your gallbladder? It's surprising that they recurred that quickly after your ultrasound showing no stones...its clear that this is a lifestyle situation that requires some type of protective intervention with or without your gallbladder
The gallbladder tissue is too fragile to just empty it, so if you do that and then stich it back it would leak and cause complications like a biloma or some other things
@@victorcabrera9622 It can be emptied with the solution they use during ERSP and that can be done through the bile duct. They have procedures that address gallstones only in many EU countries, just in the USA it's their approach to cut the entire organ. I have a singular tiny stone and still every single doctor forces me to have the organ removed. That says something about how trustworthy these doctors are!
@@lenniejoe4037they can they do it in China. It depends if it’s weakened or not is the main issue. However I think if possible they should do exactly that and suggest diet changes or break up the stones other ways
In my 30s my doctor put me on a low calorie diet. I quickly lost 50 lbs. Then, gallbladder pain!. My doctor misdiagnosed as gastritis and put me on antacids. Then, I got infections all the time because I got low in vitamins and minerals because of no stomach acid. Then, I went to an alternative medicine doctor that correctly diagnosed me She had me well in a short period of time but still had some gallbladder issues. My surgeon talked me into gallbladder surgery at age 38. I am now 69. Over 30 years of dealing with my digestion without a gallbladder. My advice.... Don't have your gallbladder out! Do whatever you need to do to heal your liver and gallbladder without surgery.
My mother had gall bladder stones.then she took ayurvedic medicine and allopathic medicine as well they claimed that will dissolve but it didn't work after 5 years of wasting time on these medicines she finally went for surgery and after surgery she came to know that she had cancer in her gall bladder and due to surgery it has spreaded to liver and now she is getting treatment in cancer hospital she has completed 13 cycles of chemotherapy till now. So i suggest everyone don't delay if you have gall bladder stones
Thank you for teaching us the "why" behind these facts. Will you please help me understand more about consuming nuts, and the idea of nuts being germinated.
I would have more than likely died had I not had my gallbladder removed. I had gallbladder pain from childhood and by the time I was 18 my gallbladder was full of stones and they had also made their way into my liver and pancreatic ducts. I was suffering from pancreatitis which is what prompted me to see a doctor. So sometimes it IS absolutely necessary.
I changed my diet and routine and feeling much better. It didn’t take long. In with the good, out with the bad. Once I started , every day just got better and better, quickly.
My elder sister had gallbladder stones for many years. Doctors said no need ro remove the gallsrones/gallbladde and nothing to worryr. She developed gallbladder cancer which was detected very late. She had only six months to live after diagnosis. She was 59 when she was diagnosed with this cancer.
Thank you so much Dr Berg 🙏🙏🙏 Every single information in this video is 100% right 👍 I wish we’ve known you 25 years ago 🥰 This video is a winner to keep going on Ketoginic and IF diet for all my family ❤️🙋🏻♀️Best regards 🌷🌿💕
Thank you so much Doctor for sharing! I just knew I had the gallstones on April'23 after experiencing multiple incidents of having severe abdominal pain & back over the past 8 months
I live in England, had my gallbladder removed in April even though I went to my doctor beforehand to ask him if it was absolutely necessary to have it removed, he told me there was no other option, only to be in pain for the rest of my life, I already suffer from lupus and fibromyalgia, osteopetrosis, arthritis, IBS, hair loss, sun allergies, etc etc, after that I came across your channel, I cried a lot, I also had half my thyroid taken out, it had swelled so much it was actually strangling me, did not have oxygen in my body according to the consultant, so thankful they only took half of it. I was a size 24 (USA measurement) , I have been doing intermittent fasting and trying to follow a keto diet since May, not very successfully, but now I am a size 18 (USA) I guess it's not so bad for someone that hasn't been doing it 100% and was used to filling up with carbohydrates, specially sugar, that was sol hard to give up as I love sweet coffee, so I have been drinking green tea, that helped a lot, bought supplements, zinc magnesium and calcium and vitamin D, I'm still finding it difficult to get a full night's sleep, I wake up between 2-4 times a night, do you have any suggestions? THANK YOU VERY MUCH, sorry, I just needed to say that out loud
Wow keep it going, you are doing amazing 😉 and another channel that has tremendously help me it’s “sapien medicine” it’s a healing frequency channel, also soul healing, self forgiving, letting go of the past and unhealthy thoughts, and habits, SELF LOVE is super important, also healing codes and praying to Archangel Raphael
I'm having doubts about having my gall bladder out.i already have an under active thyroid .I have changed my diet, more green veg no sugar and I feel fine .
I know this is going to sound crazy. . . But you are here so you are up for the crazy. Mouth tape. . . Yes mouth tape, taping your mouth closed during your sleep. Which encourages nasal breathing. It has an abled me to sleep through the night for the first time in years. I have done it for 3 months no problems. An added bonus is that I no longer have bleeding gums, which was unexpected. And whilst I can't be sure that it's the mouth tape for this one, I didn't get sick (hopefully not yet anyway) this winter with a cold or flu when everyone around me was dropping. You might feel a bit strange at first but with in a few nights you will be use to it. Now I just have to get rid of the gallstones, fibro and chronic fatigue.😂
Not sure if my mom could be assisted. Here is her sonar results after we realised here urine looks like black coffee/coke: There's a blockage in the common bile duct where it joins with the pancreatic duct. This blockage is caused by a stone that is about 21 x 15 mm in size. The common bile duct is very enlarged, measuring 14 mm wide, and it has a twisted path. This enlargement is likely due to a long-term blockage. The appearance is not typical for a condition called choledochal cyst (choledoschocele). The pancreatic duct is slightly enlarged, but there are no growths inside the ducts, no tumors in the pancreas, and no inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). The gallbladder does not have any stones and is not inflamed. There are no abnormalities in the liver or enlargement of the spleen.
I have spent the last three days watching videos from different TH-camrs trying to learn how to heal a gallbladder full of sludge. My wife spent 6 hours in the ER this week due to gallbladder pain. She is seeing a surgeon on Monday but hope to avoid surgery. I do believe the body can be healed. My problem is that I am seeing some conflicting information with regards to fat intake. My wife and I eat very healthy (or at least we think we do). We cook most of our own meals, eat organic when ever possible do not eat any sugar. I make home made Greek yogurt and Kefir and consume daily. I have read so much about the benefits of yogurt and Kefir but it seems now I am hearing that we should avoid dairy?? Right now my wife will try anything to avoid having an organ removed. We just watched a TH-cam from Dr. Axe that promotes a gallbladder cleanse. He is saying to avoid fats. So, which is it: avoid or consume quality fats?
I removed my gallbladder stones naturally with green apple juice virgen olive oil lemon juice and Epsom salt. There's a process for one week and difinetly works.
i had houndreds of stones, couple as big as a golf ball (i'm 35). i did Andreas Moritz's "The Amazing liver and Gallbladder Flush" five times already, passed many stones. every time i feel better. my digestion improved and all the other health problems.
I didn't have any knowledge of body parts and issues. I was worried about the scar. Finding this information is mindboggling.. My kidney doctor has not even mentioned my gallbladder or thyroid. I'm going to look into bile salts. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
Thanks Dr Berg for another short but so full of information and so well explained video!! You really have a gift!! No wonder you have over 1 million followers!! 🙏😊🎈
I don't understand why they can't just cut open the gallbladder and clean it out and sew it back up. We have the technology to do this. Then put the person on a new diet to avoid more stones forming.
I asked for my gallbladder to be removed because I had an attack that lasted 5 days. An ultrasound revealed it was completely full of stones. I had recently lost 85-90 lbs and had persistent high cholesterol and triglycerides despite eating low carb. I had to wait 20 more days for a surgery date. The attack lasted the whole time. 25 days of misery.
@@LasdilElizaga The surgeon will tell you that you can eat the same as you ever have. SO UNTRUE! I have IBS-D now. I have to know where the bathroom is where ever I go. I have to be really careful what I eat. Too much grease, or even pasta, will ruin my day. I also get pains where my gallbladder used to be, and I'm not the only one. Not everybody has a negative experience like mine, but some people have it worse.
@@KittyPepperPhd oh no. Im so sorry to hear that. That’s one thing i don’t want to happen to me as well especially when travelling. I’m not scared for the surgery but really scared for the possible post operation side effects.
I used to have pressure under my right rib cage and once had a gallbladder attack, so bad I couldn't move off the couch. My husband asked me if I wanted to go to the emergency room to which I said "no, I don't want to remove my gallbladder." I've been consuming more saturated fat (grass/fed ghee, farm lard, coconut oil etc), which I think has really helped me. Also Stone Breaker by Herb Pharm works to help eliminate kidney and gallstones. When my Dad had dye in him prior to having a heart stent, his doctor said that he was worried that my Dad might end up being in a nursing home due to a kidney problem due to the dye. Anyway, I kept giving my Dad the Stone Breaker extract while in the hospital. A couple months later his doctor told me that "your Dad's kidneys were in better shape when he left the hospital vs when he went in. I didn't tell the doc what he took.
@@sriharithavarma2261 is a plant from the Amazon( Brazil) I am taking right know. And I hope will help me. Also I am drinking sometimes grapefruit juice( if you are not taking cholesterol medicine), apple cider with water, dandelion tea. When I feel bloated I do flushes with water and Epsom salt and I have diarrhea, it helps me with the pain. I hope until I go to the doctor I will not need surgery

God gave us gallbladder for a reason, why remove it? A doctor wanted to remove my thyroid because of nodules. I opted not to I turned to supplements like magnesium, selenium vitamin D and ashwagandha. I feel fine now! I’m glad there are doctors like you Dr. Berg.
Thank you Dr, some of the surgeons here in my country always suggest to remove it even I say it was my first pain attack, i have pneumonia and cardiac problems, im not ready for the operation.. but still I refused, I am on my 1st wk of healthy lifestyle, so far, I am feeling good
I declined to remove my gall bladder ten years ago. My doctor was a professor at Columbia, and he lied to me ... he said that gall bladders cannot be healed. I just somehow knew that was wrong. I changed my diet and went back a bit over a year later and tested normal. When I asked him how that could have happened, he just silently flipped through my chart like he was thinking about something else and didn't hear me. I learned a lot from that experience. I still have my gall bladder. I now understand how it works, why I need it, and how I can support it in the future. Knowledge is good.
Good for you! Yes, Western medicine & Big Pharma lies to all of us
D N i would have asked again and again and again until he burries his head in the ground.
Hi D N. Almost a year ago I discovered that I had many stones in the gallbladder. Since that time I have done a paleo diet. I have never had pain again but I know they are still there because sometimes I feel a little discomfort. In your case, the stones disappeared? what is your diet?
@@sebastianpauluchak7361 Hi! I did not have stones. They told me I had a diseased gall bladder, I suppose due to an observed problem with the fat that was injected. Anyway, I go with keto with intermittent fasting, and then I do an extended fast three or four times a year. I know there is a gall bladder flush protocol for stones, but I have never used it. If you add ox bile supplements to your diet, you may get some relief from the discomfort. I wish you all the best!
so basically i just need to change my diet and take ox bile supplement?
1. Intermittent Fasting - It reduce insulin
2. Healthy ketogenic diet and NOT low fat diet
3. Bile salts
4. ACV / Fennel - Increase the flow of digestive juices and bile through the liver.
Thank you Dr Berg
Why do people say that a vegan diet reduce's insulin aswell?

It is so sad, but I am not trusting my doctor anymore. 1 year ago I came over to check out my gall bladder. She didn't ask me , what I was eating, what was my diet. She cared less about it. She just told me ,if the pain will become worse, they could remove it. Wow! Isn't she a good doctor, waiting until it is going to be a really bad. So I decided, I have to do something and watched a lot of videos. I went through a healthy diet. And now I am in a good shape and so thankful. May God bless you doctor Berg! 🙏
I have 2 big stones from 4 years what can I do
No one has provided details at this level, thanks so much for all the information!
You're very welcome.
My gallbladder was removed in 2006, and that was exactly 16 years ago, but luckily I have never any problems after that, I am healthy and I eat everything without any problems. It was removed because it has stones inside and got infected inside the gallbladder too, then I had a serious stomach pain one day and I was vomiting and hardly walked downstairs, and that was exactly 2 weeks after I had a baby with through a CS operation, and that baby today is a young tall handsome man. I bless God for his mercy upon me and my beautiful family.
What was ur diet after gb removal?
@@elishaj8654size of stone?
Exact same thing happen to my daughter.
Hi did you concieve after gall bladder removal ? Any problems happened after that
Same thing happens with lot of women's while pregnancy/after pregnancy due to calcium-iron supplements during pregnancy.
Had near 50stones in mine, I was literally collapsed with excruciating pain and taken to hospital where they removed the gallbladder, it was the best thing I did. But now going to take note of Dr Bergs food diet etc.
Where were you 20!years ago!!! Still hearing the reasons for certain diet choices helps me now 18 years post surgery! Thank you!
I had my gallbladder removed a year ago. Gallstones were found several years ago during an unrelated ultrasound, but I had NO PAIN symptoms. I took a HIDA scan test to determine if there was a bile blockage and there was absolutely zero pass-thru. It was suggested that I have my gallbladder removed immediately, which I did. During the surgery, the doctor discovered that my gallbladder had become necrotized and was literally falling apart. Had I let it go, it could have become MUCH more serious. DON'T think that your gallbladder is fine just because you don't have any pain. I eat normally and have had zero complications after my colectomy, and I'm thankful that I decided to have it removed when I did.
Good to know that you are feeling better now after removing GB. I am 42 from India, have diagnosed multi gallstones size between 4 - 7 mm... I dont have right shoulder or back pain, but bloating and heaviness in chest ,between rig cage, also right side constant head pressure or heaviness. May I know is it related to GB stones. one doctor said its related to GB stone , other 3 Gastros saying its not related to GB stone, its GERD. I am totally confused. your inputs please.
@@ulaganathanc1463 - I know it's frustrating to not be able to get definitive answers from your doctor. I've had GERD for years as well, a persistent pain in the sternum that felt like someone was squeezing my esophagus inside my chest, and I am convinced that both conditions (GERD and gallstones) interact with each other somehow. Many years ago, I discovered DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice), a cheap, safe, easily obtained (Amazon) natural supplement made from licorice root that coats the stomach and promotes healing of the stomach lining and esophagus. It was a miracle cure that made my GERD 100% controllable. I highly recommend chewing on one 1/2 hour before each meal for a week or two and see if your GERD improves.
As for the gallstones, I am not a doctor, but I would ask your doctor about taking a HIDA test if you have access to one, to see if your gallbladder is even functioning. The thing about gallstones is that they will never get better or go away; there is no cure but removal of the gall bladder. You also don't want to live with the risk of having a major attack at any time over your head for the rest of your life. Good luck!
@@ulaganathanc1463I would not trust gastros. The symptoms you describe seems to be related to gallstones. Just a matter of time until your shoulder aches as well.
Thank you for this. Found out I had gallstones a few months ago when one got loose. Luckily it moved through on its own. But I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday to have my gallbladder removed. There are a few stones in there. I'm concerned because I already have issues with vitamin D deficiency, and I have bad acid reflux. I heard that can get worse.
@@11283brandyl- You are welcome. BTW- I suffered with acid reflux for many years, including sleeping on a wedge pillow for much of that time. I found out about DGL (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice) and it all but cured my acid reflux within months.
My gallbladder is doing great thanks to you Dr Berg. Mom and sister had it taken out already, and a year ago I started to have pain when eating fat meals as well. I found your channel one night that I was woken up by pain at 2am. I started to cut the carbs and bought oxbile salts, after a few months I had no more symptoms. A year later I don't have any issue with digesting fats anymore. Thanks for all you do.

Hello did you remove your gallbladder and has it helped you.
Well, I feel a god-given duty to respond to this although you might not see it. Have you ever tried a parasite cleanse? I’ve been on one the past 22 days and a lot of my problems are going away. My liver is functioning better as well. Look it up and I’m here if you have any questions.

I agree w/ Dr. Berg about trying to hold onto your gallbladder. However, he's absolutely right when he says if you're gallbladder is in very bad shape then you should remove it.
Recommended Diet for alleviating gallbladder issues being discussed (per Dr. Berg's presentation board at, say, "6:50," with minor clarifying rewordings by me):
(1.) Low carbohydrate
(2.) Lots of vegetables
(3.) Increased (healthy) fats
(4.) Moderate protein
(5.) Modify diary & nuts
(6.) Quality of food (prefer organic & pesticide-free foods; no bad cooking oils like soy, etc)
My first gallstone felt like a heart attack. It wasn't until after my third gallstone that my doc had me have an ultrasound of my gallbladder. They said it looked like deflated balloon full of sand and gravel. Had I seen this video years ago, it would have saved me a lot of pain and frustration. I find I say that about a lot of your videos. As always, thank you Dr. Berg. PS - based on another of you videos, I now take ox bile.
Do liver gallbladder flush by Andreas Moritz to get rid of gallstones. I have had experience.
@@ajaysaini-vq9hk My gallbladder was removed around six or seven years ago.
How is the ox bile working for you?
@@leondbleondb It certainly hasn't hurt. Honestly, I really should create a log of my specific food intake and compare it to my subsequent bowel movements. The problem is that I've done a lot health improvements concurrently, so it's hard to know which one is benefiting me -- or if they all are. I'm not above experimenting on myself, so this might make a good "30 days of..." video for my channel.

Thank you, Dr. Berg! Thank you for actually explaining things to us and not saying everything needs surgery. Been following you for years now.
Thank you very much, and you're just astounding. Such a sad society we lived in, that the average doctor cannot explain this to patients. Everything today is about profits and nothing about health for the consumer and education. I remember I was taking a class for a master's in counseling. Here is the intro to the group therapy class and how we were told to keep patients coming back. I find that so unethical, and replied, let a person grow and if they need counseling later on, they will come back. We all have to stand on our feet.
I watch a bunch of health YT's every day, and this channel provides the most thorough pragmatic action steps concisely upon just the right amt of explanatory background info. No wasted time and far more doable user-friendly action steps than the other channels.
That concise clarity for results approach appears to be Dr. Berg's plan!
I had my gallbladder removed 20+ years ago. I was having horrible pain in my upper abdomen. The attacks would last between 10-30 minutes and so painful that sometimes I would pass out. An ultra sound showed my gall bladder packed full of stones. After having it removed, it took me some time to adjust, but now, I feel like I can eat pretty normally. And no more excruciating gall bladder attacks.
10-30 mins ? Lucky you lol the pain I had kept me awake the whole night, rolling around the floor, crying. I got rushed to hospital and was put on antibiotics because I had systemic infection. I would of rather of been dead, the pain was different LMAO. Mine's being removed on the 14th and I'm scared shitless tbh

I been dealing with attacks for 2 years now just far apart from each other and they always happen when doing keto diet. I tried Dr bergs bile salts was good for 6 months but still ended up in the ER 😢 find out I had two stones stuck in bile duct and my stones are small in gallbladder with sludge but not a lot so idk if it was meant to be but bile salts didn’t help me. I had to have emergency surgery. I’m doing great now and will stick with a healthy gallbladder diet. Can’t say I didn’t try though. Don’t feel bad if you have to get it removed. It saved my life!

@@pajkt6283 what kind of problems did you had?
Isn’t anyone worried about the pushing of the Keto Diet, and the fact the good Doctor is selling his own Bile Salts. I follow Dr. Berg and his breaking down of health issues but I am starting to be suspicious. Anyone else feeling this way.
You’ve missed possibly the most important cause off, which is stress.
Stress will increase cortisol, along with pulse rate ( adrenaline ), and cholesterol, which is needed for all adrenal hormone production ( so the production of adrenaline and cortisol ).
Under a stressed state, parasympathetic function is decreased ( rest, digest and repair mode ), meaning everything involved in digestion. So you’ll have low stomach acid, enzyme production and bile production, equating to high cholesterol, high cortisol with low bile.

lee harlow, you really connected the dots for me, thank you for your comment!
I had my gallbladder removed after having an attack that led to pancreatitis. I was so sick, lying in the hospital bed in agony, blood in my urine, lab work was terrible. I begged them to take it out, actually. Anything to make it stop. Morphine and fentanyl didn’t work on the pain, I ended up on a pain pump of dilaudid. That stuff knocked me out! I basically slept for 3 days and then when the pancreatitis cleared up they removed my gallbladder. Fortunately I have had no side effects from its removal and I’m glad it’s gone if it means never feeling that pain again.
Question: Where does pancreatitis hurt?
But don’t you have to stay near bathrooms, and you can’t eat no fats?
Thank you for this very informative video. I just had my gallstones problem and watching your video gaved me a better understanding. Truly appreciated!
I did a fast one day and at evening drank a mixture of olive oil and lemon and laid on my right side two hours before bed, the next day I spent all day on the toilet passing gall stones, green marbles and was not bothers with the gall bladder for ten years, this recipe came from Dr David Spicer in ft smith Arkansas and I can tell you from experience it works, I just need to do it again.
Wow! What kind of detox did you do? Just olive oil and lemon? I didn’t know people could pass gallstones. I thought that’s why they had surgeries to remove it.
You can still get the info from the dr but it is around half and half extra virgin olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon, he recommends organic but not necessary, make a full glass, large glass like 12 oz and I would drink a fourth every 15 minutes until gone then lay on right side watching a movie two hrs. All this on an empty stomach and when I woke up I spent most of the day passing stones and felt sick until the next day and I felt better then I had in years, the lemon softens the stones and the oil helps pass them, you will see bright emerald green stones ping pong ball size in the toilet. Check out Dr David Spicer Ft Smith Arkansas and you can get the directions, I was amazed and need to do it again, it last ten years according to the Dr and I was feeling the pain again about 12 yrs after I did it but you have to set aside two days, one to fast and one to, well sit and go.
Eric Martin Thx for the info!
Please can you tell me exact measurement for olive oil and lemon thank you
@@ericmartin4560 please Tell me in so much details
No! And do not let them remove your thyroid because of nodules either.
Totally agree...had my thyroid removed 13 years ago and I completely regret it...
They wanted to take mine out. That's the only "treatment" they have. I kept it. I lost my gallbladder. No doc. Told me about diet change or alternatives.
Wendy Darlene can you tell me your reason for regretting having your thyroid removed, sounds like there are strong reasons, thank you.
They just want to make money on the surgery. They do not care about your suffering afterwards. My nodules are not cancerous! I have had several biopsies. I am keeping my thyroid. All my hormone levels are normal!
@@Keep-on-ok Exactly! I tell my clients this all the time. They could easily remove the stones, if there is too many, once they open you up without removing it and give you info on diet. But noooo!
I have familiar hyperlipidemia and cholelithiasis with calcified stones. The gastroenterologist just wanted to cut out my gall bladder but I said no. I started watching carbs, drinking A.V.C. and taking ox bile as well as eating fermented foods. My upper abdomen has gone down in size ( liver ? ), and I feel much better. Only a periodic shoulder pain now, very seldom. I also have hyper-thyroidism with multi-nodular goiter, not associated with a disease and feel that they are connected in some way. I still have my thyroid and am on medication that has increased my T.S.H. And Vitamin D back to normal. I also now eat organic grass fed beef and butter, take K-2, Serrapeptase and M.S.M.. I will continue doing what is working for me because I believe that we have all our organs for a reason and do my best to keep them working, even in the condition they are in. Through your videos, I am becoming educated in how my body works. Thank you, Dr.Berg. 😊
The only nutritionist I follow these days. I went to my GP with the symptoms described with my right shoulder. He had no idea what it was. He recommended I see a physio to try help. I have private insurance so they paid for it but it made no difference to the pain. A complete waste of time and I thought this would be the case as I knew there was more to it.
Now I understand it. I've had stones before which my GP also knew about. He has my medical history. I get the slight discomfort under the right rib page. Next time I get it I will try message it to see if the right shoulder pain goes away.
I am not sure why there are so many useless GPs. I think they achieve their goal in life and then just give up. This is why I follow I subscribe. For me as part of my profession I learn every single day. Even if it means going through stuff I already know just so I do not forget and so I can verify I already know it. I'm an SME and this is what it takes. However, I have a massive interest in health and nutrition as well which is not my profession but something I love for personal reasons.. after all nothing... .absolutely nothing is more important than health. I can't think of any topic more interesting or fundamental to anyone. Thinking about it further I realise GPs are not experts when it comes to nutrition. They study drugs only but never tackle the source of the problem. This is a big problem.
Dr Berg is by far and away the best out there when it comes to know how. I no longer follow anyone else. Please keep the videos coming. I also forward them to friends and they thank me for it.. if they are not following you already that is. I've got a health and nutrition friend in New Jersey and she is addicted to your channel now after I sent them just one of your videos.

I changed my diet and no more pain related issues due to gallbladder and I still have mine. Lost weight and exercising again, feel so much better.

@@MsJjd84 I still do, and still have my gallbladder. No flare ups.
@@GenuwineG How's your diet now?
Would you have an arm or even ear lobe removed due to severe or recurrent pain? NO! Not unless it was life-threatening. You could live without those parts too. Make the dietary and supplement changes needed and you likely avoid surgery. If it gets removed, you have to make those changes anyway. Plus you get a lifetime of side effects.
Thank you Doc! Because of your videos I still have my gallbladder. Looking back, yes I didn’t consumed too much carbs and fried food. The blood test showed I had fatty liver. My waist was always tight, bloated and People thought I was pregnant. Now I cut back to almost zero on saturated fats and consuming mostly fruits, vegetables and protein only. I don’t drink ‘liquid candies’. I feel great but I will remember forever what inflamed gallbladder attacked was like. Every step felt like a knife in the abdomen. It was awful.

How are you now?
Yeah , what did u do, to help solve yr problem?
@@foziaa1459 Sorry I know this is a year late but im only 20 and refuse to take my gallbladder out so what I did was cut out fast food, ate more fruit, took probiotics, ate more protein, and didn't eat dairy.

Listen to this man!! I had a really bad attack two weeks ago and I got some Gallbladder Formula from Dr Berg’s website shop ...feel better already....getting the Adrenal Kit next month
What is dr bergs address thinking about ordering bile salts ,
how to order the adrenal kit also ?
I wish I had this information in 1985. I was getting a lot of pain from my Gail bladder and the doctor said he’ll remove it cause I can get by without it. I knew nothing and just wanted the pain to go away. Now I’ve had digestive problems for 37 years. I hope Dr. Berg’s Bile Salts help.
I just came from the E.R. And that is exactly what the attending doctor said to me, “it’s just an extra organ, the body doesn’t need it” but it was the face he made while saying this to me, he looked like he didn’t believe his lie too. I am so glad I came across this. They wanted to remove my gallbladder tonight but refused. I knew I needed some time to think and do some research.
Can u pls tell me how are you
now? Did you require gall bladder surgery or not ,pls reply
@@sonalisingh9919Hi! A little over a week after I commented, I ended up in serve pain. It was worse then labor pains. I ended up being admitted into the hospital & had my gallbladder removed the next day. I had multiple stones passing and hanging out in my gallbladder. Although I was eating clean & trying to take Dr. Berg advice, it did not work for me unfortunately.
In addition I do not regret having my gallbladder removed. The up side, I lost 15 lbs after surgery within two months and still shedding off the weight, bc now I am forced to eat clean.
Now this is a real doctor Thank so much
I was in pain and my blood pressure was at stroke level. The doctor ordered a CT scan and told me that I didn't have gall stones. They were boulders. Plus there was a lot inflammation and infection in it. Like the doctor said in this video that is the time to take it out. I, quite frankly, can't tell any difference from when it was in. Maybe because there never was any room to store the bile. Getting old sure is fun!.
Hey Kris. I have crazy blood pressure too. I think it's related to my gallbladder too. Thanks for your comment. Hope and pray you're healthy.
Thank you Dr Berg, for sharing vital information, I have right shoulder pain, your information has helped relieve a lot of my suffering, Thank you for caring
Thanks for sharing Dr Berg, i am so grateful for these videos 👍🏼

This is a great youtube channel. I really enjoy learning. Thanks for making these videos, i particularly enjoy your natural approach and focus on diet.
Gallbladder pain, headaches, right shoulder and neck pain have been plaguing me for months now. I refuse to ever get my gallbladder removed after seeing what it did to family. Just ordered your gallbladder formula and am making diet changes so I can’t wait to finally feel results.
Hey, I know this post was made some time ago, I just wanted to know if you were able to fix your gallbladder issue without having to remove it.
So did you heal your gallbladder ?
Not sure if these are some of the paid comments for promotion of Dr Berg’s products?
@@manisss3614 idk. I’ve read a lot of positive comments Amazon about the formula, maybe too many to all be paid, but who knows. I just decided not to take it and I don’t follow a keto diet.
How you been feeling
Thank you soo much for this information! I cannot tell you how grateful I am to see your video. I truly believe God gives you what you need. Everything in my body is sacred to me and my beliefs. They kept blaming that I was eating too much fatty foods. When I don't even consume those foods. It's inherited. But everyone before me got theirs removed. I won't have it removed because of my beliefs. Thank you again for this information!
Everything in our body has a purpose and it's all designed to work together. We weren't given disposable body parts. We pay a price when we don't take care of our bodies or allow pieces and parts to be removed, as the good Doc says. I was SO disappointed when my 21 year old granddaughter chose to allow her gallbladder to be removed. She was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I tried my best to inform her of the consequences of not addressing the root cause of her illness. We each have free will, so.....
that's right, God gave us body parts for a reason, he didn't make a mistake 100%
Well said!
I had my tonsils removed as an adult and was the best decision ever! God gives us common sense as well. Constant throat pain and taking steroid packs every month wasn’t healthy. 5 years later, I haven’t had a sore throat period. Get a second opinion and do research if you’re not sure, but don’t be naive when you are in pain.

I have used Swedish Bitters for 30 years. I use SB twice daily (mixed with water) as a tonic. When I’ve had a gallbladder attack, I actively dosed during the pain and the SB turned what had been a protracted, painful experience into something that I could end in short order.

13 years ago I was having Gallbladder problems. Ironically, 6 months before had serious right shoulder injury. Which required surgery and Pt. When my Gallbladder started to act up, I worked with my doctor with diet and some medication. Even after tests after test it wasn't improving. On night, just happened to be my birthday, I got real sick. I've never been that sick before. I thought I had food poisoning. Ended up in the ER and had surgery at 10 pm. Was in the hospital for a few days. Wasn't happy about that especially I was just in 6 months prior for my shoulder. Now, I have had problems as you described on and off. Never really complained about them to any of my doctors. We have military health care so our doctor's change a lot. I will follow some of these guidelines you outlined. And make an appointment to see what else I can do. I'm in my 50s. Things hurt more than they used to. I don't want to spend the rest of my life fighting digestive issues.
Did you remove your gallbladder ?
I had gallstones and the doctor wanted to remove my gallbladder, but I told them no. After leaving the hospital I looked up for alternative medicine and found dr. Berg’s video and he said that he had a formula for the gallbladder. I have been talking it since almost 2 years after my gallbladder attack and have not had another attack thanks to the gallbladder formula! Thank you Dr. Berg❤️🙏

This video is the kick in the pants I needed. I have had digestive issues for a while and have fought and fought and fought against giving up dairy, for example.
I recently had an ultrasound of my gallbladder. I will be getting the results later this month.
Hang in there with bettering your health, fellow watchers. I am living proof that avoiding dealing with it does not improve the situation.
Thank you for these videos, Dr. Berg. You are making a difference!
For years I've had awful, terrible pain with gallstones, nausea, vomiting, constipation...nothing worked to end the cramping, burning, loss of appetite. I tried a very simple remedy earlier this week that stopped my symptoms in minutes. It was extra virgin olive oil! Just a couple tablespoons with a tablespoon of lemon juice on an empty stomach - easy to do after vomiting. Often I add a tablespoon of honey for added benefits. For me, it's a miracle from God above, and to think I've had this right in front of me for years. I hope you try it and get the relief I found.
Thanks for this comment. I totally resonate with giving up any food. It's time to get some discipline jn my life 👌🏻
What were the results of the ultrasound? Update please
@@lucidman420 thank you for asking. I appreciate it. The way it was emptying was healthy, and there were no stones either! I'm so relieved.
Thank you Doctor for the excellent insight in the situation of Gall bladder stones.
I don't have gallbladder and I am 32years old. I am having "zero" problems , no complications at all. Infact I am doing better then before. My digestion is working superb.. and if you are not doing surgery then you are only inviting more and more trouble for you . Before it's too late .. get your surgery done. It's a very small operation and recovery is really fast. And trust me. I am eating everything. Veg , non-veg . But eating little less then before and I am having no problem at all. Life is very smooth after gallbladder removal.
can i ask if what symptoms you have expereinced then?? i mean all of the symptoms because now i am having a clogged nose the reason why i am breathing in trouble in the morning but after taking decongestant meds i will be okay, but i dont have problem of stomach pain but i always have nusea
LOL what an ignorant servant of the corrupt system you must be
Just checking if you are still ok. My dad had his gallbladder removed because he had one stone a year ago and now he has stomach cancer. Cancer has never ran in his mother or fathers side, my dad is the first to get cancer. I’m suspecting it’s from the gallbladder removal.
Not for everyone. Most people have problems. Now the problems are more manageable than permanent pancreatitis which is a possible side effect if ones gall bladder is "packed with stones" as Dr berg described it.
But if one has just a few stones and is younger, try to keep your gall bladder. It has an important function. But be realistic: will you make the lifestyle changes in diet and exercise needed to keep your gbladder healthy
@@rodneybeliso3242 removing the gbladder would not impact the stomach. It drains in below the stomach so increased bile would impact the bowel not the stomach

Mine died and had to have it removed & it ended pains I hd endured for a long long time... I thought it was a hurt shoulder lol so... you nailed it! I still have pains but I back off eating a few days and I’m good again. Wish I had seen your videos years ago, I could have saved it!

Thank you Dr. Berg, I have a 1.7 cm gallstone. My doctor recommended a consultation with the surgeon because he says that the only way to remove the stone is to remove my gallbladder and I am terrified and very stressed. I just mentioned that I wanted to follow up on the gallstone because I have a little pain in my right ovary and a little cramping but I just turned 48 and maybe it could be related to menopause, my menstrual cycle is irregular now and sometimes it doesn't come . I told him that I don't want to remove my gallbladder because thank God I still don't have chronic pain and he told me then not to worry about the gallstone and he sent me to see a Gastroenterologist for a follow-up of the gallstone and for a Colon Screening for age. But I am sure that the specialist will advise me the same as my doctor told me. Watching this video gives me hope that maybe it could save my gallbladder, although I saw another video where they mention that gallstones larger than 1cm cannot be treated this way, I hope it's not true 🙏🏻
hello, i know your comment is 3 months ago but i want to ask you about your condition right now because im in the same situation i have one big stone 1.81cm and the doctor told me to remove it but im terrified and dont want to , i told him this is an imortant organ and turns out im right. did try medication or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy?

I had my gallbladder out when I was 28 or maybe 29. Right around that same time one of my cousins, I think, was having theirs removed. Gallbladders are one of the few organs most of my family seems to have removed. Mine was described as a lump of sludge filled scar tissue. On the positive side, which isn't saying much, all the issues I had before were still there after so removing it didn't change any of that, but not being in agonizing pain was worth it. The doctors/nurses were kind of worried when I had my procedure. That dye they use to outline/highlight the organs apparently my gallbladder never showed up because of it having no function to absorb it.
I did a gall bladder flush amd I eliminated several hundred stones. It was absolutely incredible! I feel so much better now.
could you please guide in detail how you flush your gallbladder safely. It would be helpful, me also having multiple stones.
What flush??
People that have hundreds of stones would have a ruptured gallbladder and be in an emergency room. I have 2. It's best to get a scan first and after if you're wanting to see actual results. those green floaty things aren't gallstones they're like jelly globs that contain bile fluid
Gallbladder attacks are more painful than giving birth! I thought I was dying!!
Maria In Her 50s. mine ruptured! and I had emergency surgery, I was soooo sick! vomiting up my own bile, meaning- poop.. yes and all the tubes were the most painful especially when they pulled them out...not good

I had an ultrasound that the doctor said showed gallstones. The surgeon wants to remove it. I had one issue where it caused me pain and now no pain at all. I recently changed my diet in a major way. I am now eating almost no sugar and very little carbs. I eat a vitamin and mineral rich high protein shake in the morning and a salad with home made vinaigrette dressing and a high protein, high fat afternoon meal. I have no pain and I have lost 25lbs in 90 days. I absolutely do not want to remove any part of my body that doesn’t cause me any discomfort.
Gallbladder needs a live q&a just on that topic it is sooo important
My wife’s gallbladder is recently removed. We have the stones in a jar, I think 100 or more and one the size of a small pebble but most like small corn.
Last year one stone traveled to her pancreas and she nearly died.
Thanks for the upload and greetings from Netherlands.
Johan Van Angeren this happened to me too!
What were the simptoms, how did she know that the stone was in the pancreas and was the stone removed from the pancreas?
Jorens Fibigs high fever, incredible pain in that region, not normal pain but screaming pain, like torture. The same day she was hospitalized. Stone was not removed but probably went out again by it self. Weeks later the gall bladder was removed.
According doctor this was the most likely scenerio.
I wish I had known this before I had my gallbladder removed. Even though it was an emergency surgery because of how severe my condition was, I was doing a low fat diet and still too many carbs. Now, 10 years later, i'm dealing with low vitamin D and trying to get this keto thing down so that I can lose weight.
I've been 30-40 overweight for 30 years. I tried every diet and even took diet pills. Six years ago, I was rushed to the hospital and was diagnosed with GERD. I literally could not eat any carbs (rice potatoes bread sugar etc) and I lost 45 lbs
I wish I knew this when I was younger.
I juiced beets, carrots, apples & ginger and drank a glass of it every morning on an empty stomach and it cleaned my gall bladder out. Felt relief after the first day and it got better each day.

This hasn't been an easy choice for me to be honest. It MIGHT have been easier for me to just get it taken out but I must say that I am glad that I didn't get it removed.
I recently discovered that taking Lecithin is very helpful for the gallbladder as well (sunflower lecithin for men is suggested).
@Dan M7 Yes, more than one ultrasound.
@Dan M7 I really should make a video on it. But let me be clear, I had to do several flushes to get where I am today. I still have pain in that area once in a while that goes away pretty quickly. Look up Dr. Hulda Clark’s Gallbladder Flush and how it's done.
I took a big risk though due to the fact that my gallbladder was packed on the initial ultra sound. The next ultra sound I had after that was about 1 year later in which case they told me that there was significant gallstone reduction. That was 4 years ago since my first ultrasound. I had an ultrasound about 4 months ago and they said that I had "no visible stones".
The flush does work but I wouldn't just do the flush. Look for helpful things for your gallbladder such as Malic acid, artichoke leaf extract, pectin, lecithin.
@@AmbrociousXP how long you have been doing the flush. How frequent? I got galstones to about half full in my galblader 0.5cm in size. So far I have done 4 flush since last August..planing to do 5th flush tomorrow. My second ultrasound scan also show some reduction of galblader stones.
@@unfunny9234 I lost my fight with the gallstones due to me not getting on the right diet to keep the stones from coming back. If you are going to keep doing the flushes, try and maintain a good diet that won't keep making the stones grow back. I would do about 2 flushes per month. Try to stay on a good diet for as long as you can to help the gallbladder heal.
@@AmbrociousXP oh wow..I was encouraged by your journey. Did you ultimately have to remove your gallbladder? It's surprising that they recurred that quickly after your ultrasound showing no stones...its clear that this is a lifestyle situation that requires some type of protective intervention with or without your gallbladder
I don’t understand why a surgeon can’t just empty the gall bladder instead of removing it.
The gallbladder tissue is too fragile to just empty it, so if you do that and then stich it back it would leak and cause complications like a biloma or some other things
@@victorcabrera9622 It can be emptied with the solution they use during ERSP and that can be done through the bile duct. They have procedures that address gallstones only in many EU countries, just in the USA it's their approach to cut the entire organ. I have a singular tiny stone and still every single doctor forces me to have the organ removed. That says something about how trustworthy these doctors are!
Oh my goodness i’ve been asking that same question , and i wish someone will answer this
@@lenniejoe4037someone did.
@@lenniejoe4037they can they do it in China. It depends if it’s weakened or not is the main issue. However I think if possible they should do exactly that and suggest diet changes or break up the stones other ways
In my 30s my doctor put me on a low calorie diet.
I quickly lost 50 lbs.
Then, gallbladder pain!.
My doctor misdiagnosed as gastritis and put me on antacids.
Then, I got infections all the time because I got low in vitamins and minerals because of no stomach acid.
Then, I went to an alternative medicine doctor that correctly diagnosed me
She had me well in a short period of time but still had some gallbladder issues.
My surgeon talked me into gallbladder surgery at age 38.
I am now 69.
Over 30 years of dealing with my digestion without a gallbladder.
My advice....
Don't have your gallbladder out!
Do whatever you need to do to heal your liver and gallbladder without surgery.

My mother had gall bladder stones.then she took ayurvedic medicine and allopathic medicine as well they claimed that will dissolve but it didn't work after 5 years of wasting time on these medicines she finally went for surgery and after surgery she came to know that she had cancer in her gall bladder and due to surgery it has spreaded to liver and now she is getting treatment in cancer hospital she has completed 13 cycles of chemotherapy till now.
So i suggest everyone don't delay if you have gall bladder stones
Wow..Poor Lady sustain pain,discomfort and mild inflammation for so many years...Yikes!
Oh wow , I hope your mother is doing well...she ended up with gall bladder cancer because she left her stones in?
All my Blood numbers are perfect. No symptoms of anything. My gallbladder is full of stones. Never had overweigth, never smoked, no alcohol.
What did u do
@@dimple1440 i had it removed. 1.5 years now, nothing that i noticed changed. I now eat more fat in smaller portions. Im lazier now. similar weight.
Thank you for teaching us the "why" behind these facts. Will you please help me understand more about consuming nuts, and the idea of nuts being germinated.
Watch "Germinate Your Seed & Nuts to Enhance Vitamins and Minerals" on TH-cam
This is his video on that subject. Hope tnis helps.
This is great information. I’ve been trying to understand more about this. Thank you so much 💯
I would have more than likely died had I not had my gallbladder removed. I had gallbladder pain from childhood and by the time I was 18 my gallbladder was full of stones and they had also made their way into my liver and pancreatic ducts. I was suffering from pancreatitis which is what prompted me to see a doctor. So sometimes it IS absolutely necessary.
yes that was too late to say No.
How are you the truth.??
I changed my diet and routine and feeling much better. It didn’t take long. In with the good, out with the bad. Once I started , every day just got better and better, quickly.
My elder sister had gallbladder stones for many years. Doctors said no need ro remove the gallsrones/gallbladde and nothing to worryr. She developed gallbladder cancer which was detected very late. She had only six months to live after diagnosis. She was 59 when she was diagnosed with this cancer.
Oh wow, I am so sorry for your loss. These are many of the reasons why I am scared to keep mine because things can progress so badly
Thank you so much Dr Berg 🙏🙏🙏 Every single information in this video is 100% right 👍 I wish we’ve known you 25 years ago 🥰 This video is a winner to keep going on Ketoginic and IF diet for all my family ❤️🙋🏻♀️Best regards 🌷🌿💕
Thank you so much Doctor for sharing! I just knew I had the gallstones on April'23 after experiencing multiple incidents of having severe abdominal pain & back over the past 8 months
I live in England, had my gallbladder removed in April even though I went to my doctor beforehand to ask him if it was absolutely necessary to have it removed, he told me there was no other option, only to be in pain for the rest of my life, I already suffer from lupus and fibromyalgia, osteopetrosis, arthritis, IBS, hair loss, sun allergies, etc etc, after that I came across your channel, I cried a lot, I also had half my thyroid taken out, it had swelled so much it was actually strangling me, did not have oxygen in my body according to the consultant, so thankful they only took half of it. I was a size 24 (USA measurement) , I have been doing intermittent fasting and trying to follow a keto diet since May, not very successfully, but now I am a size 18 (USA) I guess it's not so bad for someone that hasn't been doing it 100% and was used to filling up with carbohydrates, specially sugar, that was sol hard to give up as I love sweet coffee, so I have been drinking green tea, that helped a lot, bought supplements, zinc magnesium and calcium and vitamin D, I'm still finding it difficult to get a full night's sleep, I wake up between 2-4 times a night, do you have any suggestions? THANK YOU VERY MUCH, sorry, I just needed to say that out loud
Strong work
Wow keep it going, you are doing amazing 😉 and another channel that has tremendously help me it’s “sapien medicine” it’s a healing frequency channel, also soul healing, self forgiving, letting go of the past and unhealthy thoughts, and habits, SELF LOVE is super important, also healing codes and praying to Archangel Raphael
I'm having doubts about having my gall bladder out.i already have an under active thyroid .I have changed my diet, more green veg no sugar and I feel fine .
I know this is going to sound crazy. . . But you are here so you are up for the crazy. Mouth tape. . . Yes mouth tape, taping your mouth closed during your sleep. Which encourages nasal breathing. It has an abled me to sleep through the night for the first time in years. I have done it for 3 months no problems. An added bonus is that I no longer have bleeding gums, which was unexpected. And whilst I can't be sure that it's the mouth tape for this one, I didn't get sick (hopefully not yet anyway) this winter with a cold or flu when everyone around me was dropping. You might feel a bit strange at first but with in a few nights you will be use to it. Now I just have to get rid of the gallstones, fibro and chronic fatigue.😂
Not sure if my mom could be assisted. Here is her sonar results after we realised here urine looks like black coffee/coke:
There's a blockage in the common bile duct where it joins with the pancreatic duct. This blockage is caused by a stone that is about 21 x 15 mm in size.
The common bile duct is very enlarged, measuring 14 mm wide, and it has a twisted path. This enlargement is likely due to a long-term blockage.
The appearance is not typical for a condition called choledochal cyst (choledoschocele).
The pancreatic duct is slightly enlarged, but there are no growths inside the ducts, no tumors in the pancreas, and no inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).
The gallbladder does not have any stones and is not inflamed.
There are no abnormalities in the liver or enlargement of the spleen.
I have spent the last three days watching videos from different TH-camrs trying to learn how to heal a gallbladder full of sludge. My wife spent 6 hours in the ER this week due to gallbladder pain. She is seeing a surgeon on Monday but hope to avoid surgery. I do believe the body can be healed. My problem is that I am seeing some conflicting information with regards to fat intake. My wife and I eat very healthy (or at least we think we do). We cook most of our own meals, eat organic when ever possible do not eat any sugar. I make home made Greek yogurt and Kefir and consume daily. I have read so much about the benefits of yogurt and Kefir but it seems now I am hearing that we should avoid dairy?? Right now my wife will try anything to avoid having an organ removed. We just watched a TH-cam from Dr. Axe that promotes a gallbladder cleanse. He is saying to avoid fats. So, which is it: avoid or consume quality fats?
Excellent Video, nice explanation
I removed my gallbladder stones naturally with green apple juice virgen olive oil lemon juice and Epsom salt. There's a process for one week and difinetly works.
Procedure?
Please expand on the process, do you blend or eat them?
@@thepriestess5969 Check out the andrea moritz liver cleanse. I did it last week and got out 100s of stones
A1+@
That was solidified olive oil that you got out. Which is why it was green.
i had houndreds of stones, couple as big as a golf ball (i'm 35). i did Andreas Moritz's "The Amazing liver and Gallbladder Flush" five times already, passed many stones. every time i feel better. my digestion improved and all the other health problems.
dude thats amazing. How are u now?
I didn't have any knowledge of body parts and issues. I was worried about the scar. Finding this information is mindboggling.. My kidney doctor has not even mentioned my gallbladder or thyroid. I'm going to look into bile salts. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
No problem. Glad to share this info. Take care.
Thanks Dr Berg for another short but so full of information and so well explained video!! You really have a gift!! No wonder you have over 1 million followers!! 🙏😊🎈
I don't understand why they can't just cut open the gallbladder and clean it out and sew it back up. We have the technology to do this. Then put the person on a new diet to avoid more stones forming.
Surgery can be dangerous & should be a last resort. Learned this the hard way.
I asked for my gallbladder to be removed because I had an attack that lasted 5 days. An ultrasound revealed it was completely full of stones. I had recently lost 85-90 lbs and had persistent high cholesterol and triglycerides despite eating low carb. I had to wait 20 more days for a surgery date. The attack lasted the whole time. 25 days of misery.
Oh my God I'm so sorry you had to go through that pain I had my first six hours I thought that was the worst feeling ever
Omg oh my goodness....poor you...Im so sorry I went thru all that pain
how are you now? im planning to remove mine as well, i can't handle the daily pain and discomfort anymore
@@LasdilElizaga The surgeon will tell you that you can eat the same as you ever have. SO UNTRUE! I have IBS-D now. I have to know where the bathroom is where ever I go. I have to be really careful what I eat. Too much grease, or even pasta, will ruin my day. I also get pains where my gallbladder used to be, and I'm not the only one. Not everybody has a negative experience like mine, but some people have it worse.
@@KittyPepperPhd oh no. Im so sorry to hear that. That’s one thing i don’t want to happen to me as well especially when travelling. I’m not scared for the surgery but really scared for the possible post operation side effects.
I used to have pressure under my right rib cage and once had a gallbladder attack, so bad I couldn't move off the couch. My husband asked me if I wanted to go to the emergency room to which I said "no, I don't want to remove my gallbladder." I've been consuming more saturated fat (grass/fed ghee, farm lard, coconut oil etc), which I think has really helped me. Also Stone Breaker by Herb Pharm works to help eliminate kidney and gallstones. When my Dad had dye in him prior to having a heart stent, his doctor said that he was worried that my Dad might end up being in a nursing home due to a kidney problem due to the dye. Anyway, I kept giving my Dad the Stone Breaker extract while in the hospital. A couple months later his doctor told me that "your Dad's kidneys were in better shape when he left the hospital vs when he went in. I didn't tell the doc what he took.
What is this extract consists of and how it is made
@@sriharithavarma2261 is a plant from the Amazon( Brazil) I am taking right know. And I hope will help me. Also I am drinking sometimes grapefruit juice( if you are not taking cholesterol medicine), apple cider with water, dandelion tea. When I feel bloated I do flushes with water and Epsom salt and I have diarrhea, it helps me with the pain. I hope until I go to the doctor I will not need surgery
@@sriharithavarma2261 Stone Breaker is the name on the gold Herb Pharm bottle. It's chanca piedra, an herb. You can buy it in bulk on amazon and make tea. It's widely used in India and Germany.
@@sriharithavarma2261 It's just chanca piedra and maybe some alcohol? not sure. I prefer buying it in bulk as a dry tea.
@@cathrynp3491 thank you so much for your reply and detailed explanations...you are really so sweet. Wish you good luck and health
God gave us gallbladder for a reason, why remove it? A doctor wanted to remove my thyroid because of nodules. I opted not to I turned to supplements like magnesium, selenium vitamin D and ashwagandha. I feel fine now! I’m glad there are doctors like you Dr. Berg.
Yes!! Amen ! Hope you’re getting plenty of iodine for your thyroid!
Thank you Dr, some of the surgeons here in my country always suggest to remove it even I say it was my first pain attack, i have pneumonia and cardiac problems, im not ready for the operation.. but still I refused, I am on my 1st wk of healthy lifestyle, so far, I am feeling good
