Re: Telman

One other thing I've been thinking about too--

Looking back now, I would now say I probably was one that had a weak bile problem for a long time prior to the gallbladder surgery, when the gallbladder was found to not be functioning (5%)--

but, now that I am looking at more of the bigger picture, I would guess that the "dieting" I did, starting in Jr High school, would have been a factor.

What I now understand, is that not eating (fasting) can cause stagnant bile (stones), and not eating fats, including good fats, can be a cause of stagnant bile and stones too. Not only was I mainly eating the complex carbohydrates that were supposed to be the good thing for you (whole grains etc--with celiac that I didn't know I had), but the fad was also to pay attention to the fat grams, and cut out all fats.

Plus..then factor in the Rocky Mtn Spotted Fever/Lyme coinfections from being sick from a tick when I was 8. I had no idea the problem was on-going for years. Tweet
