(food first, then supplements) for everyone. All of these components are important for all people—with or without a gall bladder!
Let’s get right to the gall bladder info:
The gall bladder stores and releases bile to help emulsify & digest fats, and also plays an important role the liver’s detoxification pathways. The great news to remember is that the bile has always been made in the liver---and that doesn’t change. What does change is that now, without a gall bladder, there is no storage capability.

What this means for you is this: rather than bile being released in the presence of fats only, bile is always being released, like a drip drip drip from your liver to your small intestine. So, when you have a meal with a large amount of fat, there may not be enough bile present to properly digest that fat. If that happens, then fat can move through the body rather quickly & exit explosively. Not optimal, to say the least, right?
Here’s what you can do:
Avoid trans fats (hydrogenated fats) & greasy foods of any type. Avoid processed refined foods. Try to eat a small amount of healthy fats in regular intervals. The body loves a rhythm & a schedule. Exercise & sleep play an important role in this as well. Besides being good for your fat digestion, a consistent schedule is great for balancing hormones as well.
Healthy fats include avocado, extra virgin olive oil, flax seed oil, coconut oil, organic butter wild Alaskan salmon, and other wild caught fish (no farmed!), free-range, grass-fed animal proteins, greek yogurt (if you don’t have sensitivity to dairy) and various organic nut and seed butters.
Additionally, you may benefit from supplemental bile salts & enzyme support. So many people have improved their quality of life with these simple shifts.

Finally, the liver is an important KEY TO HEALTH for everyone.
We recommend a seasonal purification twice a year to maintain optimal vitality. This is simply an intelligent whole foods based program of supporting all of the organs of elimination. Emphasis is placed on health promoting foods & conscious health practices.
