Gallbladders and Bile

You form stones

My gallbladder came out almost a year ago, and I haven't had to change my eating habits much at all, but I've heard that this can vary quite a bit from person to person, with some people being more sensitive than others. Your doctors should have told you that you may have trouble digesting fats, particularly dairy products. To get a little more specific (and graphic), I find that if I eat a lot of really greasy fried food, or a lot of greasy cheese, I'd better plan on sitting on the toilet for a while within an hour or two. So fried mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms, ice cream, crab rangoons, extra greasy and cheesy pizza, spinach/artichoke dip, and funnel cakes are some good examples of things to avoid in large quantities. I still eat all these things, but just not very much in one sitting. I suppose if you don't mind having the runs all the time, you could go ahead and chow down on the fried cheese all you want. I've had multiple people tell me that lettuce goes right through them just like the fried foods, but this has never been a problem for me. I'd suspect it's more an issue with the high fat content of the salad dressing they're using, but people keep telling me it's the lettuce itself. It doesn't make any sense to me, but I hear it so often I thought I'd share. hope that helps!

I don't know if it's the largest in the world, but my grandfather, Joseph A. LaRosa, has the record for the largest gallbladder in the City of Lawrence, Massachusetts. It was over 13 inches long

Gallstones are the most significant risk factor for the development of gallbladder cancer. Roughly 75 to 90 percent of patients with gallbladder cancer also have gallstones. Larger gallstones are associated with a higher chance.

used to make other things in your body dissolve and to make you die and suffer. just kidding it is used to make atomic bombs and u r gay and very ugly. i hate you. go die alone in a stupid dark cave. noone will care. you are the worst thing made. jk i love u. jk i dont even know u. k bye .

Well it is a reward given by someone really important for the United State

the common bile duct

It works with the liver in delivering bile to the small intestines to aid in digestion.

Gall bladder ejection fractions greater than 35% are generally considered normal. Most often, values lower than 35% are due to gall stones, or gall bladder muscle dysfunction NOT attributable to obstruction from gall stones.

See the following reference for elaboration http://jnm.snmjournals.org/cgi/reprint/32/9/1695?ijkey=04710f50335540ad9c2c23277417b2ab42a16df0

Bile is different than digestive enzymes because bile is not an enzymes but it is a juice that is secreted by liver and then is stored in gallbladder, which is then send to the small intestine for making the medium basic . this medium allows other enzymes to be reactive in this medium.

I suffer pain on the right side after drinking occasionally. I was told that the liver is not capable of emiting pain, unlike the gallbladder.

I read that a way to reduce the pain of a gallbladder attack was to eat a raw cucumber. In despiration one day, I ate an entire cucumber, and I have to admit that the pain was reduced remarkably. So that also made me feel I was on the right track with diagnosing this problem. I have no medical insurance and cannot afford expensive medical tests.

Also apparently if your liver were giving you problems you would have other symptoms like yellowing skin, dark stools, etc.

These are all just things that I have read, not medical facts, but after reading it, I was relieved to believe that it is just most likely a gallbladder acting up, and not something more serious.

The cost varies based on facility, surgeon, outpatient vs inpatient, where you are in the US, etc.

For example, in 2005, Utah averaged $5,851 for the outpatient procedure. Minnesota showed $9,020 as an average price.

Insurance companies may also have a negotiated price which may be lower.

Take it to a licensed vet immediately, as there could be some issues with the dog's digestive system that need to be checked out by the vet.

Hi, Yes always consult a vet first, but vets do not seem to know everything so consider my experience.

I rescued a very underweight GSD who upon getting her home constantly had bright orange bile coming out of both ends every night. It seemed to happen mostly in the early hours of the morning and occasionally throughout the day. As she slept on the side of my bed, I decided to stay awake and observe her. About 3 in the morning I heard a slurping noise and observed that she was in fact drinking her own pee straight from her bits.

About an hour later again she was puking and messing the bright orange bile out of her system.

I concluded (as a trainer) that this dog had more than one endemic problems. The main one been that she had been brutally housetrained (not by me) to such an extent that she was afraid to pee on the floor and was drinking her own pee. This practice had seriously affected her stomach lining and probably gave her ulcers (was subsequently vets conclusion) and acute acid reflux due to extremely bad nerves (my conclusion).

The solution would come in several forms.

1) I did not show any form of emotion or annoyance at the mess on the floor the next morning and actually stroked her with sympathetic assuring words that everything was going to be ok. (do this every time)

2) From that day on I devised a much more gentle, calm and quiet regime around her.

3) I took her water away from her at 6pm and took her for her final walk at 11pm. (this reduced the amount of pee over night).

4) The aluminum based medicine from the vets only worked while she was taking it, when it ran out the condition returned. I decided to re-educate her stomach by putting her on a diet of one tea cup of plain steamed rice every two hours. This acted like a poultice on her stomach and the condition greatly improved. I kept this regime up for the next ten days. On the eleventh day I introduced a small amount of boiled chicken for the next week and then added small amounts of vegetables and other foods over the subsequent months.

This solved the problem of the ulcers.

5) At the same time I had to deal with the acute acid reflux. I put her on two tablets which she now has every day and will do so for the rest of her life.

The first is vitamin B Complex one a day to address the problem of her nervous (acid reflux) disposition and the second is one dose of Zenprol which contains 10mg omeprazol and is designed to regulate the formation of bile acid at 10pm, an equivalent dose of Zantac is just as good.

(Vets cannot make money out of self medication and do not approve of it, but it works)

Now that the condition is totally under control she can eat just about anything I care to give her with no adverse effects.

It is recommended that you do not feed your dog once a day; the time period between feeds is just too long and will lead to this problem. I recommend separating your dogs food into three portions given every six hour during the day, 8am, 2pm and 8pm.

Regarding the water situation, now my dog has water down all the time and she has learnt to regulate herself.

PROBLEM SOLVED

She was 19 kilos at 13 months of age when I rescued her and very sickly and depressed. Now she is a highly confident and very active and lively four year old weighing 39 kilo and in peak health and condition.

You must remember, her condition is not cured, it is managed very well and if that management stopped for whatever reason, she would deteriorate very quickly.

I believe the following apply: liver transplant 996.8 status post liver transplant V42.7

Liver transplant actually 996.82

there are different things you can do. here are a few:

drink mint tea

drink a fizzy drink very fast thins will make you burp to get rid of the wind

drink a mixture of lemon juice, water, tea spoon of syrup and a tiny bit of salt

rub your stomach in circular motions

Yes, you can pass a gallstone. How to pass gallstones takes some knowledge and the ability to follow some specific directions. Here's a guide that teaches how to pass you gallstones: http://www.gallstoneadvice.com

Gallstones form in your gallbladder, that is attached to your liver. The gallbladder empties into your gut.

Gall stones are passed though your stools. I have passed many stones and have had them tested as well to verify.

Bile does NOT digest fats. It is NOT an enzyme, therefore, it cannot break down lipid molecules into smaller nutrients. What bile does is it HELPS enzyms to digest fats by emulsifying the fat molecules. This means the surface area is increased, thus enuring a more efficient and quicker digestion of the lipid molecules. This process takes place at the top of the small intestine, in the duodenum, as this is where bile is secreted from the gallbladder, through the bile duct and onto the food.

Bile is made in the liver while pancreatic juices are made in the pancreas. Bile is stored in the gall bladder while pancreatic juices aren't stored. Pancreatic Juice has lots of enzymes while bile just makes the environment suitable for enzymes to survive.

Bile is made in the liver and passes through bile ducts and into the common hepatic duct which carries it out of the liver. From here, it can pass down the common bile duct into the duodenum or take a detour into the gallbladder via the cystic duct.

Bile is stored in the gallbladder, a muscular sac-like organ located underneath the liver on the right side of the abdomen.

It is called a gallstone. When food is consumed our body secretes a fluid from our liver, which is called bile. Bile helps in the breakdown of foods in our alimentary canal (digestive system). Our gallbladder is, normally, under the liver and holds the bile until it is ready to help with digestion. Sometimes when it sits in the gallbladder it can harden (crystallize), like a rock. It then can obstruct a bile duct and is very painful. Some people feel the pain radiate to their back. Look up gallstone.

Pain in the gallbladder may indicate gallstones, which can pass on their own, but surgical removal of the gallbladder may be required.

In humans, the gall bladder is not a required organ - it's simply a storage organ for bile for the times that we are not eating and digesting foods. Without a gall bladder, you may have some stomach upset due to the constant slow release of bile into the upper duodenum that may leak back into the stomach. Otherwise, you shouldn't see much of a difference after you heal up from teh surgery.

gallstones come out of your pee-hole... it's a kidney problem.. they dont change the color of your sh!t.

^^^ you're wrong. actually they can. gallstones can get in the way and stop bile going into your small intestine and for some reason it makes your faeces pale but i dont know why, that is what im trying to find out and how i came across this question and who ever answered this question before me should calm down and look at some facts before gettin angry.

I am not a doctor but I do know... (and you can find this on the net).

Stones from the gallbladder can block the flow of bile in to the intestines. Bile normally mixes with the waste in the intestines, and as the waste and bile work through the bile changes colour and creates that familiar brown colour. Clay or putty coloured poop is a sign that bile hasn't got in to it, and this can be due to a blockage caused by gallstones. My doctor told me white poop (even one occasion of) can be caused by temporary blockage of bile caused by gallstones.

Kidney stones are different - they are crystals (I think caused by uric acid) and they affect the renal system causing much pain when you pee, or bladder infections.

Gall Stones can cause white poo. There's a protein called 'Bilirubin' that is the 'heme' product of hemaglobin. Bilirubin is responsible for the brown colour of poo. Heme is taken from the spleen to the liver where it is synthesised to Bilirubin which is then stored as bile. Gall Stones and other things that may block the oddi of sphincter may stop Bilirubin being transported to the duodenum, hence the poo doesn't get its brown colour :)
