I'm curious because I've never heard about this until today. Has anyone had any Bladder problems on low Carb?

I know right now I'm nowhere near low carb, but I have low carbed and this is news to me.

Best wishes,
Xeta Happy

Gallstones are caused by low fat diets.

The main stimulant for the gallbladder is fat. Eat little or no fat and you produce very little bile. Your gallbladder may get impacted with stones due to the lack of flowing bile.

When you start eating more fat the liver starts producing more bile (one of the reasons cholesterol levels may rise from eating fat is because it's a component of bile) and the gallbladder gets more stimulation, the stones that have been sitting in there for several years during low fat eating then get pushed out and may cause discomfort, pain and get stuck.

Today's lesson: Eating lard everyday keeps the gallstones away.

My dad recently got his gall bladder removed, and on advice from his doctor, he's eating even LESS fat now...not like he was getting any before.

My dad says he can eat more than his doctor said he could. The liver does produce bile, so you would probably have to eat less or more frequently or something...I don't know. Sad

Right now my family is giving me crap about the high fat diet anyway Very Mad

Bear's got a broad facial structure and neck. I wonder if it was that way before years of low carb?

Is it just me, or do they both have enormous ears?? Shock

I guess ear-size must not be related to diet. Cool

This thread's old, but I gotta tell ya, Ornish don't look like that NOW. That's an old picture.

I had my gallbladder removed, and I can eat plenty of fat....just have to not eat a HUGE amount at one time. I eat 3 meals a day and plenty of fat each meal, no problems.

Avalon · Top Carnivore Joined: 29 Nov 2006 Posts: 3326

I don't look like I used to either Cry

A think I felt my gallbladder yesterday. I ate a LOAD of butter and two fatty steaks for dinner. Probably 200 g fat in that meal. A while after my meal I could feel this stabbing type of pain just under my right ribcage. It was nothing too serious and went away after a few minutes. Afterwards I felt fine and did not get any digestive problems at all.

Did anyone catch the multi-part Ornish interview on Jimmy Moore's podcast? Ornish just drove me crazy all the way through. He had no information or explanation for anything, no account of the mechanisms of how anything works. Just kept repeating his "studies" that supposedly show his ridiculous eating plan to be the best thing since sliced bread. Wait a minute -- it really is the best thing since sliced bread, because that's one of the worst dietary developments you can name!
