#gallbladderstones Dr. Carlos Jaramillo: Today I want to talk to you about a topic that I get asked a lot about: the gallbladder. Often, people who have gallbladder problems don't fully understand where this organ is and what it's for. Also, when it's removed, they don't know what to eat. In this video, we'll explain some interesting things about the gallbladder in simple terms, and I hope it helps. First, what is the gallbladder? It's an organ located inside the abdomen, here above the liver. The bile produced by the liver is eliminated through the gallbladder and is used to properly assimilate fats and, to some extent, proteins. When food enters the stomach, it produces acid and the gallbladder begins to fill with bile. When food passes into the small intestine, the gallbladder contracts thanks to a hormone called cholecystokinin or CCK, and mixes with fats to properly assimilate them. But what happens when a person has gallstones? Gallstones are stones that form in the gallbladder, and are most often related to a triad that depends on three factors: the amount of cholesterol, the amount of water, and the amount of bile acids. High cholesterol in the blood is not always the only factor that influences the formation of gallstones. It is important to have a balance between these three factors. If a person has gallstones, it is necessary to make some dietary changes. In general, excess saturated fats, fried and processed foods should be avoided, as these can increase symptoms. It is recommended to consume foods rich in fiber and antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables, and foods with omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish and nuts. For people who have had their gallbladder removed, it is important to note that bile is no longer stored in the gallbladder, but is poured directly into the small intestine. Therefore, there may be an increase in diarrhea and fat intolerance in some cases. It is important to adapt your diet and avoid excessive fats. The gallbladder is a small but important organ in our body, located below the liver. It is often talked about in relation to gallstones and their surgical removal. However, it is important to know that the gallbladder has an important function in the digestion process and in the storage of bile produced in the liver. That is why, in addition to considering surgery as an option for gallstones, it is essential to take care of our diet and maintain good liver health to prevent their formation. Cleanse your liver and gallbladder by eating a balanced diet, exercising, and avoiding alcohol and tobacco. If you have symptoms such as pain on the right side of the abdomen, nausea, and vomiting, it is important to see a specialist to assess whether surgery is necessary. - ????BECOME AN EXCLUSIVE MEMBER AND ENJOY UNIQUE BENEFITS????: / @drcarlosjaramillo - BUY MY BOOKS AND SUPPLEMENTS HERE: https://shop.medicinafuncional.co/ - MY RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/shop/drcarlosj... - COURSES AND WORKSHOPS: https://cursos.anialife.com/ - LEARN ABOUT THE BEST PROTEINS AND SUPPLEMENTS IN SAVVY: https://bit.ly/2ML3khs - SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL IN ENGLISH: / @drcarlos - Dr. Carlos Jaramillo and the Institute of Functional Medicine seek to ensure that you always have good habits and, above all, clarity about how daily decisions produce a large part of the diseases that humanity has today.
