Hey, guys, in this video, I'm going to talk about what really causes gallstones.

Okay, there's a myth out there that a high fat diet will cause gallstones.

That is absolutely not true.

Let's go into that a little bit more.

Most stones are cholesterol stones.

Okay, so it's a concentrated amount of cholesterol because there's not enough bile.

So the real deep underlying cause of a gallstone is bile deficiency.

Bile is a fluid that is made and liver and concentrated in the gallbladder by 20X.

And it's used to help you extract nutrients from the food, especially like extracting the fat

type of vitamins, essential fatty acids, and then the pancreas releases enzymes to help break it down even more.

So really the underlying cause of gallstones are a lack of bile because bile keeps the stone from developing.

It keeps cholesterol from forming a stone.

And also it disposes of excess cholesterol.

So bile is very, very, very, very important.

Okay, and if you had your gallbladder out, you're going to be deficient in bile even more because

now you don't have a sac to allow the bile to be concentrated.

So the original reason probably they took it out is you had stones.

And now they take it out.

And now we have a deficiency of bile even more.

It trickles down.

So you might switch the problem from a stone to another problem of a lack of absorption of fat type of vitamins,

or omega-3 fatty acids, or an essential fact called DHA, which is good for your brain and your heart.
