In this episode of The Simplicity “Bite” Sessions, I dive into a topic that will be of interest to women who will or have had their gallbladder removed. A lot of women are told that their gallbladder needs to be removed for their health to improve, the truth is that it is often not the root cause of your health issues but rather just a symptom.

 

These are the main topics in this short but resourceful episode:

• The main symptoms women experience after having their gallbladder removed (symptoms that may also have present before):
• Digestive sensitivity
• Gas and bloating
• Troubles digesting fats
• Struggling to defecate
• Acidity and reflux
• Hot flashes
• Weight gain
• Thyroid issues
• What is the gallbladder’s role?
• The right nutrition, lifestyle, and supplementation after gallbladder removal.
• How to support your liver.
• Seek professional support.
• What is the difference between digestive bitters and digestive enzymes?
• Antiinflammatory foods and beverages.

Quotes:

“Your gallbladder is not where the root cause of your health struggles lays, it is just a symptom.”

“The liver has nowhere to send the bile after the gallbladder is removed.”

“When you are not able to properly absorb the nutrients that your body needs is when you start to become deficient.”
