Summary

Today, we’re going to talk about the most common symptom of gallstones and natural remedies for gallstones.

It turns out that the most common symptom of gallstones is having no symptoms at all. 80% of people with gallstones don’t experience any symptoms until the situation worsens.

Other symptoms of gallstones or a gallbladder problem:

• Pain or tightness under the right ribcage

• Pain under the right rhomboid

• Pain in the neck that runs up the side of the face

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Bloating

• Belching

• Jaundice

• Dark urine

• Pale stool

Gallstones can form when a person has high cholesterol and a lack of bile. Bile helps thin and eliminate cholesterol. A deficiency of bile is the real problem.

The gallbladder is an important organ that helps you store and concentrate bile and absorb fat-soluble nutrients.

Bile sludge is a common problem that can also cause pain, even when there aren’t any stones. Bile sludge can occur at different times but can be a complication after having your gallbladder removed, causing some of the same symptoms that lead you to have surgery.

Risk factors for getting gallstones:

• Pregnancy

• Birth control pills

• Obesity

• Type-2 diabetes

• Liver disease

• Constipation

• Low folate

• Taking PPIs

• Consuming a high-carb diet

• Consuming a low-fat diet

Natural ways to help get rid of gallstones:

1. Take purified bile salts and probiotics

2. Consume salad

3. Use acupressure

4. Decrease your insulin (do intermittent fasting and go on the keto diet)

0:00.0	Today we're going to discuss the first symptom that occurs with gallstones over 80% of the time.
0:07.6	Okay, and I'm also going to talk about the fastest way to dissolve a gallstone if you have a gallstone and let's dive right into the first
0:15.5	symptom that occurs over 80% of the time and that would be asymptomatic that's right There's no symptoms 80% of the time when a person has
0:26.4	gallstones, right? You don't even know you have them. Unless they get lodged into a duct
0:31.2	where it creates distention and pressure you might even not know you have them until they get really bad other than that are there any other symptoms and yes there is you're normally going to feel a sensation underneath the right rib cage, kind of like a fullness, a tightness, or a pain. You may feel pain in your right rhomboid that muscle between your scapula and the mid part of your spine and the back part there, you may even have pain that runs up to this side of your face right here.
1:01.2	These are all indications that there's something going on with the
1:03.9	gallbladder. It doesn't necessarily have to be a stone. It could be very small microstones that are really hard to
1:11.1	identify even on an MRI. You can also experience nausea, vomiting,
1:17.8	bloating, bloating, jaundice. Now why would you have jaundice, like where your skin is yellow? Well that's because the
1:24.9	gallstone is blocking the bowel duct and we're getting a backup of bile into the liver and that is coming
1:30.8	out through into the blood and into your skin. And some of that is coming out through into the blood and into your skin.
1:33.7	And some of that is something called Billy Rubin which is kind of a byproduct
1:37.9	of your red blood cells and that can create a yellowing effect of your skin.

It really is important for you to understand what causes a gallstone first, and that will explain everything. Many people think gallstones come from consuming too much fat, fatty foods, right? Or foods high in cholesterol because a gallstone is made out of cholesterol. So just by knowing that if you eat more
2:15.7	cholesterol you're at risk for getting a stone, right? Well, actually, no, you're not. The reason
2:22.1	why stones develop is for two reasons. One is you have this high amount of cholesterol coming through the body and, and this is the most important thing, you have a lack of bio salts.
2:36.0	And this number two thing is usually ignored.
2:38.4	They think it's just the cholesterol, but what keeps the cholesterol thinned is the bio salts.
2:45.0	Bile is the primary mode of elimination of cholesterol.
2:49.8	Okay, it goes to the bio ducts.
2:51.2	The more bile you have,
2:52.3	the more elimination of cholesterol that you have.
