Hi,
thanks for the answer you gave me below
Some questions though:
What does bile duct blockage manifest itself as as far as symptoms? And it seems like this BB has a lot of people gung-ho about gallbladder flush without any symptoms. You seem to be the only moderate person re this subject.
Also I am taking PIONEER digestive enzymes plus Betaine HCL which seems to have helped a bit but not too much. What does lecithin contribute?
I also have been taking milk thistle tincture every once in a while.
It seems like the stool color is very pale (yellowish) when consuming meat/rice/potatoes and bordering normal when eating vegetables/fruits however both are unformed.
I am really starting to think that it is parasites since I have been taking probiotics for ages with no signicant effect. However, I have also been taking anti-parasite stuff so I am at a loss.
thanks
Martin
>>Hi Marten,
Don't worry about doing the gallbladder flush. if the ducts were clogged, you WOULD know it. You wouldn't be debating it.
For fat malabsorption,..lipase enzymes, pancreatin, lecithin, and a liver lipotropic formula is the standard protocol. I treated my fathers malabsorption strictly with lipase and lecithin. You may need the lipotropic for bile lubrication. It should contain choline, methionine, artichoke, milk thistle, dandelion, ect.
I hope this helps you

You would most likely be experiencing one or more of the following symptoms:
Severe pain in the upper right abdomen possibly accompanied by fever, nausea, and vomiting. Other symptoms include constant pain below the breastbone that shoots into the right or left shoulder area and radiates down the back. People think they are having a heart attack (some are!).
Lecithin is a fat emulsifier and aids in the digestion of fats. This is something that people with gallbladder trouble have a hard time with.
Your enzyme formula should be high in lipase. look for a brand that contains at least 15,000 USP units of Lipase. There are many ways of measuring enzymes. Sometimes they are measured in HUT units so it can be a littel tough. Just try to find a formula specifically designed to digest fats.
I believe that by improving digestion and the functioning of the gallbladder and liver, most liver/gallbladder flushes are not needed.
