Re: More Gut Pain!

I am doing the lecithin granules although not daily and I am doing fiber daily in different forms.  I'm still doing the other health protocols and supplements you've suggested to me over the last eight months or so as well.

I have lost weight recently, about 30 pounds since January and I want to continue on my weight loss program.  The first part of the program was six weeks with no fat. I am thinking that's why when I began eating fats again on the second part of the program, my gallbladder had a fit about it.  I will take the transition much slower next round.  I will be starting back to the no fat portion of the program in two weeks. [I know you don't approve of 'extreme' weight loss measures but I feel this is good for me and the weight is dropping!]

So taking bitters at every meal will trigger the gallbladder to release bile, yes? 

Is the purpose of bile only to break down fat in the diet? 

If so, I won't need the bitters on the no fat portion of my program, correct? 

Is the liver secreting cholesterol into the gallbladder and normal thing?

What is the purpose of that?  If it is not normal, can it be corrected and if so, how?

Can gallstones, if there are any, be dissolved or eliminated other than with flushes?  I've heard epson salts or bile salts help relax and open the ducts? 

What ongoing things can one do to keep the gallbladder healthy and functioning properly?

Thanks a bunch like always, James!!!
