Home Remedies For Gallbladder Gallbladder Disorders The gallbladder is a 3 to 4 inch-long pear-shaped organ located on the right side of the body, directly under the liver. One of the functions of the liver is to remove poisonous substance from blood so that they can be excreted from the body. The liver excretes all these gathered toxins in a digestive agent called bile. Bile also contains cholesterol, bile salts, lecithin, and other substances. The bile (about one pint of it every day) goes first to the gallbladder, which holds it until food arrives in the small intestine. The gallbladder then releases the bile, which passes through cystic and bile ducts into the small intestine. Ultimately, the toxins are passed out of the body through the feces. Abnormal concentration of bile acids, cholesterol and phospholipids in the bile can cause the formation of gallstones. The presence of gallstones is known to doctors as cholelithiasis. It has been estimated that 20 million Americans have gallstones, so she is not alone. In fact, one in ten people have gallstones without knowing it. However, if a stone is pushed out of the gallbladder and lodges in the bile duct, this can cause nausea, vomiting, and pain in the upper right abdominal region. These symptoms often arise after the individual has eaten fried or fatty foods. Gallstones can range from the size of a tiny grain of sand to larger than a pea-sized mass. Seventy five percent of gallstones are cholesterol stones, with the remaining 25 percent being pigment stones. Pigment stones are composed of calcium salts. Although the cause of pigment stones is unknown, factors such as intestinal surgery, cirrhosis of the liver, and blood disorders can increase the rate risk. The presence of gallstones creates a possibility that cystitis, inflammation of the gallbladder, may develop. This can cause severe pain in the upper right abdomen and/or across the chest, possibly accompanied of fever, nausea, and vomiting. Other symptoms of gallbladder disease include constant pain below the breastbone that shoots into the right or left shoulder and radiates into the back. The pain can last from 30 minutes to several hours. The urine may be tea- or coffee-colored, and there may be shaking, chills, and a yellowish discoloration of the skin and eyes. Gallbladder attacks occur often in the evening and can take place sporadically. Abdominal pain that occurs on a daily basis may be a problem unrelated to the gallbladder. A gallbladder attack may mimic a heart attack, with severe pain in the chest area. Inflammation of the gallbladder requires immediate treatment. If left untreated, it can be life threatening.

My appetite was lost as well. I (and my doctor) thought this was related to my shoulder problems since I have had 4 shoulder siurgeries in three years. It turned out that I had a stone stuck in the neck of the gallbladder. I have had a craving for vinegar several times throughout all this but just didn't know why, I was sure my body was simply telling me I needed it. In the cuppboard my wife had some apple vinegar for cooking. I drank a shot of this fromm time to time. Recently I had a couple of very severe episodes of pain. I went to the fridge and saw a jar of pickles. My craving struck me again and I drank the entire jar of pickle juice. I still had a craving and followed that with a good size cup of apple vinegar. About 1-2 hrs later, I nearly passed out, I saw a bright light dim very quickly followed by deafness in my right ear. The deafness turned to ringing and later, after I layed down, the sound became like that of a rushing waterfall. Afterwards, and for an entire week now, I have been feeling excellent. The pain is gone, and I have a ravishing appetite. After reading this link, as well as a few others, I am convinced this cider vinegar and pickle juice did the trick. I am convinced because I only had a craving for them, I did not read anywhere that this could be a natural cure. Your body knows what it needs if you just take time to listen. #2 - James Klaty - 04/03/2009 - 14:15 Name E-mail (Will not appear online) Homepage Title Comment To prevent automated Bots form spamming, please enter the text you see in the image below in the appropriate input box.
