So, today . . . let's talk about how the LACK of a "gallbladder" can damage our body.
We've spoken about this before . . . but, let's take a moment and refresh . . .
Our "liver" is connected to our "small" intestine via our "gallbladder".
The "liver" produces "bile" to help digest "fats" from the food we consume.
The "liver" sends this "bile" to the "gallbladder" . . . which is like a balloon that holds this "bile fluid" including "bile salts/bile acids" . . . until we eat a meal and the "bile" is needed in the "small" intestine for digesting that "fat".
At that time . . . the "gallbladder" deflates . . . when releasing the "bile" into the "small" intestine . . . waiting for the "liver" to fill it up again for the next meal.
Simple right . . .
But . . . what happens if we've had our "gallbladder" REMOVED???
And yes . . . I'm one of those people . . .
Well . . . in this procedure . . . they surgically connect the "liver" to the "small" intestine . . . and remove the "gallbladder".
So now . . . instead of the "bile" that the "liver" is making going into the gallbladder for a "holding pattern" until we eat a meal and the "small" intestine needs the "bile" to digest "fat" . . .
The "bile" just "DRIPS" into the "small" intestine . . . NON-STOP . . .
And due to this . . . the "bile" is LESS "concentrated" because it "didn't" sit in a "holding pattern" in the gallbladder first.
So . . . not only is this "bile" dripping all the time . . . it's NOT as "strong" as it should be . . . and CAN'T digest our "fats" properly.
And unfortunately . . . due to this "weak" bile . . . it puts us at a greater risk for "pancreatic cancer" . . . Hepatocellular carcinoma . . . Colorectal cancer . . . and Kidney cancer . . .
So, tomorrow . . . let's continue
