Dissolving Gallstones and Gallstones RemedyWhat foods affect Gallbladder disease?
Gall bladder is a pear shaped organ under the liver which stores bile which is essential for digestion.
Swelling of the gall bladder causes gall bladder disease. Gall bladder disease occurs when the gallstones formed can block the duct that leads from the gall bladder.
Gallstones develop when the bile contains excess cholesterol. High content of cholesterol can form crystals leading to the formation of stones.
The symptoms for gall bladder diseases include physical discomfort, severe pain, nausea, fever and in extreme cases jaundice.
Food plays an important role for gall bladder disease. There are certain foods that can help in relieving from this disease whereas there are certain foods that should be avoided.
A list of foods that are helpful and that needs to be avoided for gall bladder diseases are as follows:
| HELPFUL FOODS | FOODS TO BE AVOIDED | | Beets | Egg, pork, onions, milk, beans, nuts, coffee
| | Cucumbers | Hydrogenated fats | Vegetable juices of beets and cucumber as well as celery, carrots, beet greens
| Saturated fats like Clarified butter, red meat
| | Fresh garlic for cleansing of the liver. | Margarine | | Sweet potatoes | Fried foods | | Ripe tomatoes | Black tea | | Cold water fish | Chocolate, ice-cream and milk products
| Lemon. Drink lemon juice mixed with warm Water in the morning
| Cabbage, cauliflower, radish and turnips
| | Grapes and fresh juice of organic grapes | Wheat, rye and barley | | Apples, apricots, berries, figs and guava | Legumes and beans | Omega 3 rich oils like flax and hemp. Add these Oils in the salads preferably in the raw form.
| | | Lots of water | | | Low fat cottage cheese | | Coconut (Coconut in oil form is rich in Medium chain Triglycerides)
| |
There are certain points that need to be considered:
- Do not avoid fats totally. Fat free and low fat diets can also be a root cause of the problem. Your body requires fats.
Certain oils like coconut oil or butter are rich in Medium Chain triglycerides that can be absorbed without the presence of bile. Hence though there is fat restriction for gall bladder disease, whatever little oil is consumed it should be the ones that are rich in Medium Chain Triglycerides. - Eliminate egg as it is considered as a primary food allergen that can aggravate gall bladder diseases.
- Prefer foods low in fat, cholesterol, sugar and high in fiber. High fiber intake in the diet can prevent the slowing down of intestinal transit time. Have more of fresh vegetables and fruits.
