Gall Bladder Stones: Eat Right, Prevent & Treat them!

Gall Bladder Stones cause severe pain! HOW, you ask? 🤔

Understanding the importance of gallbladder may widen your idea!

The Gallbladder is considered as ‘Mystery Organ’ which is present near liver. It stores bile (a fluid produced by liver) and release it in small intestine when food reaches there. 😵

You may be wondering what bile is? It is like a detergent that helps in breaking down fats which further helps in digestion, and absorption of fat in the blood.

What will happen if Bile is not produced in enough amount?

Insufficiency of bile may lead to various conditions such as Gallstones, Jaundice (obstruction in gall bladder), Gallbladder attack, Cholecystitis (gallbladder obstruction), Pancreatitis (Pancreatic Duct Obstruction), Cholangitis (inflammation of bile duct). ☹️

How Bile is related to Gallstones?

When we talk about stones, an image of rocks forms in our mind! Doesn’t it? But let me tell you, gallstones are certainly not those rocks. When bile is not produced in appropriate amount, cholesterol may accumulate in different regions. In Gall Bladder, this cholesterol gets concentrated and forms stones.

Gall Stones may also be caused by other factors such as:

👉 Excess Bile in Gallbladder: If there is too much bile in gallbladder, it gets concentrated and causes bile stones

👉 Excess Bilirubin in Gallbladder: Too much bilirubin produced by gallbladder gets concentrated and forms stones

👉 Body weight

👉 Reduced Gallbladder movement

👉 Diet

You must follow the following and you can simply avoid the formation of Gall Bladder Stones:

👉 Consume Low Carbohydrate Diet: It helps to regulate insulin levels in body which indirectly reduces the formation of gallstones

👉 Saturated fat diet: It helps to promote the release of bile and lowers the risk of stones

👉 Moderate amount of protein in diet: A balanced meal with proteins reduces the consumption of fats and carbohydrates and simply decreases the chance of gallbladder stones

👉 Large amount of vegetables: They help in maintaining liver health and maintains levels of cholesterol
