What is Gallbladder Health

I believe that the gallbladder is one of the unsung heroes of the digestive system and is an organ that is often overlooked when it comes to digestive health. Our modern Western diet greatly impacts gallbladder health, leading to problems such as gallstones or sludge, an issue that affects many individuals. In supporting individuals on their gallbladder health, I use my knowledge and experience to support you in understanding the role that your gallbladder has in health and disease and teach you about some of the diet and lifestyle changes that can help to support your gallbladder and overall digestive health.

Sometimes people not only have gallstones, but an inflamed gallbladder called cholecystitis mostly caused when the ducts of your gallbladder become blocked due to gallstones.  This can cause significant pain and worsened by certain foods.

Gallbladder removal is also common treatment for gallstones, but it fundamentally changes your body’s digestive functioning and requires careful dietary management for the long term. Because the gallbladder acts as the storage chamber for bile, its removal means there is no longer a place to store bile as the liver is producing it, so a lesser amount is available at mealtimes and I help support you strategically to ensure healthy digestion during this chapter of life after Cholecystectomy.
