In this video, you will see an awesome tea for treating inflamed gallbladder. You certainly have heard someone talking about having gallstones, or even needing to remove their gallbladder, right?
It might be during a talk with your friend or a family member. The point is, this is a common health issue today.
Almost no one thinks about the gallbladder, a small organ located at the right side of the body, under the liver. It is responsible for storing the bile, a substance produced by the liver and that helps digest the fats of our diet.
Poor functioning of the gallbladder may cause stones that make the organ so sick that, in most cases, the only solution is removing it through surgery.
Gallstone, or cholelithiasis, is a disease that affects almost 10% of the population. When that happens, the gallstones block bile ducts, and bile ends up retained.
In most cases, inflammation is caused by the buildup of fluids in the gallbladder.
The symptoms of gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis) are usually silent, especially in babies and elders. However, the most common are acute pain on the right side of the abdomen, belly bloating, dark urine, pale stools, and diarrhea.
Nausea, frequent vomiting, fever around 100F, and yellow eyes are also common. When the symptoms are more intense – high fever, abdominal distension and leukocytosis – it is necessary to seek medical help immediately.
Gallstones happen because of a diet high in fats, simple carbs, and low in fibers. Other habits, like the lack of physical activity, smoking, or prolonged use of birth control, can also contribute to the disease.
Did you know that family history also plays a role in the development of cholecystitis?
