Gallstones
Approximately 750,000
Americans will have their gallbladders removed this year. Symptoms usually come
in the form of severe pain the upper right abdomen, nausea, and indigestion.
When you have an attack from gallstones, you will probably experience intense
pain from 15 minutes up to a few hours. Most people who experience this pain
find it debilitating and have difficulty leading normal lives. Since there is
such a high proportion of the population that is at risk for gallstones (about 1
in 12), it is very important to protect yourself from this harmful, painful and
even deadly condition. Complications from gall stones can be serious, and even
fatal, if left untreated.
We have to start with
the liver, because it works hand in hand with the gallbladder. Your liver
produces bile, a greenish-brown fluid charged with the duty of digesting fats.
The bile is sent to the gallbladder where it is concentrated and stored. When
you eat, your gallbladder contracts and releases stored bile where it begins to
help break down the fat in your food. But if bile within your gallbladder
becomes chemically unbalanced, it can form into hardened particles that
eventually grow into gallstones. This chemical imbalance, very simply, is an
overload of cholesterol which hardens with the bile to form gallstones.
Cholesterol does NOT exist in the vegetable kingdom. Therefore, a diet high in
cholesterol is a diet high in animal foods such as meat, chicken, fish, and all
dairy foods.
