Lifestyle Changes To Help Prevent Gallstone Formation

#HealthTrivia #Gallstone

PREVENTION is better than CURE!

LIFESTYLE CHANGES TO HELP PREVENT GALLSTONE FORMATION DIET:  

• Eat whole grains, unrefined carbohydrates (brown bread, rice and pasta etc) and plenty of dietary fibre.
• Increase intake of vegetable proteins (especially soy products), decreasing intake of animal proteins.
• Consume plenty of fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, especially those containing pectin (especially green apples) and cellulose (especially celery and crisp fruits and vegetables).
• Eliminate intake of saturated fats, and ALL products containing white sugar and white flour.
• Eat no fried foods, especially those that are deep-fried.
• Avoid ice-cold foods and drinks - room temperature or slightly warm is best.
• Avoid coffee.
• Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water per day to keep the water content of your bile topped up, plus chamomile tea if possible
• NEVER skip meals and ALWAYS eat breakfast.
• Every meal or snack should contain 10g of fat to enable the gallbladder to contract.
• Drink a little unrefined, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil each day (see Daily Flush Drink above). Olive oil will help the gallbladder to contract vigorously and thus cleanse itself.
• Do not eat excessively large meals, which put an unnecessary burden on the digestive system.
• Vegetarians have a much lower incidence of gallstones, so adopting a vegetarian diet will certainly help.

Helpful supplements include

Vitamin E (200iu per day, to help prevent and dissolve gallstones), Vitamin A (helps to keep the mucosal walls healthy, preventing excess dead cells from entering the gallbladder and bile), Vitamin B Complex (helps to empty the gallbladder more efficiently), Vitamin C (helps to convert cholesterol into bile acids and render it harmless), omega-3 oils (flaxseed etc), soya lecithin (a fat emulsifier; helps keep cholesterol in solution), the amino acid tausine, psyllium husks (an excellent source of gel-forming, non-irritating dietary fibre, which alters the synthesis and absorption of secondary bile acids that form in the intestinal tract), milk thistle and dandelion tinctures (which increase the production and flow of bile), peppermint capsules/tablets (enteric coated; keeps cholesterol crystals from forming in bile), chamomile tea and good quality antioxidants (antioxidants deficiencies can inducegallstone formation). Turmeric spice is also helpful.

How Diet Affects Your Gallbladder

reposted from: https://www.healthline.com/health/gallbladder-diet

How food affects your gallbladder

Your gallbladder stores and concentrates the bile that is produced in your liver, which is located directly above it. Your gallbladder releases the bile into your small intestine to help digest food.

The gallbladder is a sensitive organ, and maintaining a healthy diet full of nutrient-dense foods help keep it in perfect health. Certain foods that can protect and promote a healthy gallbladder, while others increase the likelihood of problems like inflammation or gallstones.

Because your gallbladder may need to be removed if it isn’t kept in great health, eating a gallbladder-healthy diet is essential.

Gallbladder-friendly foods

For a healthy gallbladder, incorporate the following foods into your diet:

• bell peppers
• citrus fruits
• dark, leafy greens
• tomatoes
• milk
• sardines
• fish and shellfish
• low-fat dairy
• beans
• nuts
• lentils
• tofu
• tempeh

Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables is the best way to improve and protect your gallbladder’s health. Fruits and vegetables are full of nutrients and fiber, the latter of which is essential to a healthy gallbladder.

Some of the listed foods are either high in vitamin C, calcium, or B vitamins, which are also good for your gallbladder.

It’s thought that eating more plant-based protein could also help prevent gallbladder disease. Foods like beans, nuts, lentils, tofu and tempeh (as long as you aren’t allergic to soy) are excellent alternatives for red meat.

What To Eat And Avoid When You Have Gallstones

this article reposted from http://theconversation.com/got-gallstones-heres-what-to-eat-and-avoid-53229

You can’t change your genes, but there are some food and lifestyle factors you can target to lower your risk. Eat healthily, increase your fibre intake, eat more fruit and vegetables high in vitamin C and drink coffee.

Avoid weight gain and if you do try to lose weight, do it slowly.

What does the gallbladder do?

The gall bladder is a storage sac for bile, which is made in liver. After you eat, bile is squirted into the small intestine.

Bile emulsifies or breaks up the fat in the food we eat into tiny particles, a bit like washing-up detergent. This means that fat-digesting enzymes from the pancreas can mix with the fats from foods and break them down into smaller particles that can be absorbed.

What are gallstones?

Gallstones form in the gall bladder when components of bile, such as cholesterol and bilirubin (a breakdown product of red blood cells), aggregate and form stones.

These stones vary in size from single large hard stones about the size of an apricot and made mainly from cholesterol, to small pebble-sized stones made mainly from bilirubin. Gallstones can also be very tiny, like a grainy sludge.

How can you prevent gallstones?

The good news first. Having a healthy diet lowers your risk of getting gallstones.

In a US study that followed more than 13,000 adults over ten years, women with higher blood levels of vitamin C had a lower chance of developing gall bladder disease. This was not the case for men.

Foods high in vitamin C include capsicum, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, citrus fruits, pawpaw, kiwi fruit, strawberries and pineapple. You could try vitamin C supplements, but studies are inconsistent and taking vitamin C supplements can increase the risk of kidney stones.

A higher fibre intake is also associated with lower risk. There is no need to become vegetarian, but eating more legumes, pulses, wholegrains, vegetables and fruit boosts fibre intake.

A review of studies involving more than 200,000 people found people who drank a lot of coffee (four cups or more a day) had a a reduced risk of gallstone disease. However, some studies found this association in women only.

Having a moderate alcohol intake is also associated with a lower risk of gall bladder disease. But it’s wise to drink in line with current guidelines, which recommend no more than two standard drinks on any day.

Rapid weight loss

Losing weight at a rate of more than 1 to 1.5 kilograms a week is considered rapid and increases the risk of gall bladder disease.

When you markedly cut back your total food and fat intake, you need less bile. Your gall bladder doesn’t need to contract as much and bile salts become more concentrated. This means gallstones are more likely to form.

Cutting down on foods that contain large amounts of fat is a good idea because you reduce total kilojoule intake as a result and therefore lose weight. To ensure your gall bladder still contracts and keeps excreting bile, still consume some fat, around 20 grams, each day.

Other risk factors

Risk factors such as body weight, using hormone replacement therapy and number of pregnancies are theoretically modifiable. Others, such as age and being female, are not. Women are twice as likely as men to get gallstones, due to higher oestrogen levels.

Around the world, Pima Indians have the highest rate of gallstones at 70%, compared to 10-30% among Europeans and North Americans and less than 5% in Asian and African populations.

Treatment

Treatment for gall bladder disease depends on size and location of the gallstones, whether you have other symptoms such as pain and infection, and whether you have other medical conditions.

Silent gallstones are ones that cause no symptoms and generally are not treated. Other approaches include the dietary changes mentioned earlier, lithotripsy for small stones, or surgery to remover the gallbladder along with the stones. See your doctor for advice.

What happens after your gall bladder is removed?

Once your gall bladder is removed, bile can no longer be stored, but trickles constantly into the small intestine.

Your digestive tract will make some adjustment after the surgery, but if you eat a large fatty meal, your body is not able to squirt in extra bile. This means some undigested fat passes through the small intestine and travels into the large bowel where bacteria will try to break it down.

However, a lot of the fat will be malabsorbed, triggering steattorhoea, which means fatty diarrhoea. Some fat-soluble vitamin A and E will be lost in the stools as well.

Boost your intake of these vitamins by eating foods that are good sources of them. The vegetable form of vitamin A, called beta-carotene, is found in dark yellow, orange and dark green vegetables, such as pumpkin, carrots, sweet potato, spinach and broccoli.

Good sources of vitamin E include nuts, seeds, wholegrains, peanut butter, tahini, spinach, broccoli, tomato, avocado, kiwifruit and mango.

When it comes to gallstones, food should be part of prevention and treatment strategies.

What Are Gallstones - Everything you need to know about gallstones

Gallstones are stones or lumps that develop in the gallbladder or bile duct when certain substances harden.The gallbladder is a small sac located on the right-hand side of the body, on the underside of the liver. Some of the chemicals that exist in the gallbladder can solidify into either one large stone or several small ones.

There are approximately 20 million Americans with gallstones. A study revealed that the prevalence of gallstones in adults in industrialized countries is around 10 percent and appears to be rising.

Fast facts on gallstonesHere are some key points about gallstones. More detail and supporting information is in the main article.

• The gallbladder is a small organ located on the underside of the liver.
• Stones can form when there is a chemical imbalance in the gallbladder.
• People with overweight and obesity are more likely to develop gallstones.
• Experts believe a low-fat, high-fiber diet may help prevent gallstones.

• Symptoms

  The majority of people with gallstones experience no symptoms at all. This is because the stones stay in the gallbladder and cause no problems.
  Sometimes, however, gallstones may lead to cholecystitis, or an inflamed gallbladder.
  The primary symptom is pain that comes on suddenly and quickly gets worse. This pain can occur on the right side of the body, just below the ribs, between the shoulder blades, or in the right shoulder.
  Other symptoms include:
• pain on the right-hand side of the body, just below the ribs
• back pain between the shoulder blades
• pain in the right shoulder
• nausea
• vomiting
• sweating
• restlessness

• Treatment

  Gallstones are only treated if they have caused gallbladderinflammation, blockage of the bile ducts, or if they have moved from the bile ducts into the intestines.
  Cholecystectomy
  Cholecystectomy means the surgical removal of the gallbladder. This is usually performed with keyhole surgery. Keyhole surgery is not possible for about 10 percent of people who need open cholecystectomy. They will have open surgery instead.
  With open cholecystectomy, a large cut is made in the abdomen. People who undergo open surgery require a longer hospital stay and recovery time. If a gallbladder is severely inflamed, open surgery will be needed.
  For a large proportion of those who undergo a cholecystectomy, gallstones come back within a year. To help prevent this, many people with gallstones are given ursosdeoxycholic acid, which is the acid found in bile.
  Ursosdeoxycholic acid lowers the cholesterol content of bile, making it less likely that stones will form.
  Ursodeoxycholic acid
• If the gallstone is made of cholesterol, it can sometimes be slowly dissolved with ursodeoxycholic acid. This type of treatment, known as dissolution, may take up to 24 months to be effective. It is not as effective as surgery but is sometimes the only choice for people who cannot have a general anesthetic.
  Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatolography
  When a person with gallstones cannot have surgery or ursodeoxycholic acid, they may undergo endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatolography (ERCP), which requires a local anesthetic. A flexible fiber-optic camera, or endoscope, goes into mouth, through the digestive system, and into the gallbladder.
  An electrically heated wire widens the opening of the bile duct. The stones are then removed or left to pass into the intestine.
  Lithotripsy
  Ultrasonic shock waves are aimed at the gallstones, which break them up. If gallstones become small enough, they can then pass safely in the stools. This type of treatment is uncommon and is only used when there are few gallstones present.

  Diagnosis

• In many cases, gallstones are discovered by accident when an individual is being treated for a different condition. A doctor may suspect gallstones after a cholesterol test, an ultrasound scan, a blood test, or even an X-ray.

  Blood tests may be used to look for signs of infection, obstruction, pancreatitis, or jaundice.

  Cholangiography

  A dye is either injected into the blood stream so that it concentrates into the bile ducts or gallbladder, or it is inserted straight into the bile ducts using an ERCP. The dye shows up on X-rays. ERCP is also used to locate and remove stones in the bile duct.

  The doctor will then be able to look at the X-rays and identify possible gallbladder or bile duct disorders, such as pancreatitis, cancer of the pancreas, or gallstones. The X-rays will indicate to the doctor whether the dye is reaching the liver, bile ducts, intestines, and gallbladder.

  If the dye does not move into one of these areas, it generally means that the gallstone is causing a blockage. An expert will have a better idea of where the gallstone is located.

  CT scan

  This is a non-invasive X-ray that produces cross-section pictures of the inside of the human body.

  Cholescintigraphy (HIDA scan)

  A small amount of harmless radioactive material is injected into the patient. This is absorbed by the gallbladder, which is then stimulated to contract. This test may diagnose abnormal contractions of the gallbladder or an obstruction of the bile duct.

  
  

  Diet

  It used to be the case that people with gallstones who were not yet ready for surgery would be prescribed an extremely low-fat diet to prevent gallstone growth.

  This has recently been shown to be less helpful than previously thought, as rapid weight loss can cause gallstones.

  A balanced diet with regular meals is recommended. This will not cure gallstones, but it can have a positive impact on any symptoms and pain experienced.

  Avoiding foods high in saturated fats can help to reduce the risk of gallstones developing, such as butter, hard cheese, cakes, and biscuits. Cholesterol is thought to have a role in forming gallstones.

  Dietary steps can be taken to help prevent the condition, such as eating more nuts and consuming small amounts of alcohol.
