Why you should avoid removing the gallbladder?
You will get hungry often and tend to eat many times a day. Since the bile will be keeping coming from the liver all the time. This frequent eating habit will lead to being overweight. Another problem is the difficulty in digesting fat. Whenever you eat a fatty meal, the gallbladder squeezes and releases the bile to digest the fat in the food. Once the gallbladder is removed, it causes gastric problems and indigestion whenever you consume food that contains fat. Also increases the risk of intestinal cancer. A study confirms that patients who performed cholecystectomy presented a 108% higher risk of developing Colorectal Cancer (CRC) than the common population. The male and female patients who underwent cholecystectomy were reported to have a 74 and 154% higher risk of CRC, respectively (1).
The Causes and Prevention of Gallstone:
- It is an interesting fact that people who do not eat meat, dairy products, or eggs rarely have gallstone attacks. It is animal fat which tends to form gallstones.
- Drinking water helps prevent gallstone formation. It has been discovered that those with gallstones drink little water.
- Drinking a pint of water causes the gallbladder to empty about 10-20 minutes later. This is the ongoing way to keep the gallbladder cleaned out and in fairly good condition; that is if you do not eat any fats of animal origin.
- Lack of exercise increases the likelihood of gallstone formation. Cholesterol is excreted more rapidly by the liver and bladder with more exercise. The truth is that everything works better when you exercise regularly.
- Do not overeat. This is very important.
- Do not eat processed, fried, sugared, spicy, or junk foods.
- Do not use alcohol, caffeine, or tobacco.
- Keep your weight down. Overweight women over 40 who have had children have the most gallstones.
- Some medications containing estrogen increase the cholesterol saturation of bile.
- Eating eggs greatly increases the likelihood of stone formation. A diet low in vitamin C also does.
- Eating lots of refined carbohydrates increase stone formation. Not including enough fiber in the diet does also.
How to relieve gallstone pain immediately
The best remedy is, to mix three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in ginger tea and drink. It works. You will experience complete relief in 10 to 15 min.

There are simple solutions to stop gallstone pains. After dissolving the stones, if you choose to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle, you will not get it back.
If you got a gallstone attack, you need to drink half a cup of water with 2 to 3 tablespoons of concentrated Apple Cider Vinegar. Also lying down and elevating the hip with a pillow and applying hot formation with a hot water bag helps in reducing the pain and subsidies.
