There's 12 signs that your gallbladder is in trouble, but the most common sign,

over 80% of the time, is a symptom called asymptomatic, which means no symptoms.

The great majority of the time, people do not have any clue that they have a gallbladder problem.

However, even though there's no major symptoms, there are all sorts of clues that I'm going to cover

that will tell you what's going on with the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a very, very important

organ, okay? It's not an extra organ that we don't need. It's a storage

place for bile, so it can concentrate. So every time you eat, the gallbladder contracts,

and then that bile is decreed into the small intestines, and it helps extract certain fats,

like fat-civil vitamins and nutrients. It helps you break down fat. But that's just the tip of

the iceberg. There's many other things that it does. Number one, it's antibacterial. So in other

words, it keeps the bacteria out of the small intestine to prevent this overgrowth or fermentation

that can occur, and it's very common with people, especially if they eat fiber or a big salad,

and they feel bloated, they could have something called SIBO, small intestinal bacteria overgrowth.

And that's probably because they don't have enough bile to act as a detergent anti-microbial

to flesh that out. And then what happens is this bile goes all the way down this tube, which is

quite long, and then it gets reabsorbed right before the large intestine, and it actually gets

reabsorbed 18 times. So your body is very efficient and recycles bile because it's very, very important.

But if this bile is not the right texture or the right thickness, let's say it's too thick,

becomes sludge, if it becomes too concentrated, you get gallstones, and then you can start plugging

up the little tubes, they're called bile ducts, and then everything kind of backs up. So I'm going

to go through these signs. Most of them are a bile deficiency symptom because there's a blockage

of some sort, but there's one that is bile excess, especially if you had your gallbladder removed.
