The real source of gallbladder symptoms may come long before your gallbladder begins its work in the digestive process. What you’re eating, or not eating, may have a big impact on your likelihood of developing gallbladder symptoms.
Lack of enzymes in food makes the pancreas and gallbladder work overtime to digest. The result is imbalanced gallbladder function. Fresh foods, especially vegetables and fruits, are living foods with a high enzyme content. These enzymes begin to digest food in the stomach, before the body’s main digestive enzymes have a chance to kick in. These predigested foods spare your body the extra digestive burden.
Dr. Marina Rose, DC who practices in Los Altos, CA uses a Chiropractic care and Functional Nutrition to help people with gallbladder symptoms and other challenging, chronic health conditions.
On the other hand, processed foods have practically no enzyme content. Enzymes are naturally occurring proteins found in foods capable of breaking down the food on a molecular level. It is the enzyme content of food that allows it to rot if it sits too long, so it is actually essential to take the enzymes of out foods to make them shelf stable.
This may be good for shelf life, but it can wreak havoc on our digestive systems that are designed to process fresh foods. Eating enough fresh foods, staying hydrated, and choosing healthy, monounsaturated fats are all things that you can do to keep your gallbladder healthy. Dr. Andrew Weil agrees that these kinds of natural approaches can help you to avoid gallbladder symptoms.

I never knew the gallbladder was so important. It’s scary to think that doctors are so quick to remove it without a second thought. Thanks for the info.
Besides “symptoms”..in what ways do you diagnose a classic gallbladder case?
