Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor Eric Burg.

So let's talk about the best food for gallstones, what causes gallstones.

It's a situation where you have super saturated cholesterol that's forming a stone.

But just because you have high cholesterol does not mean that you're going to get a stone.

It has to have another situation occurring, which is this, low amounts of bile salts.

If you have a bile deficiency and a super concentrated amount of cholesterol, that's when you get the stone.

We could reword this as the best foods for increasing bile production.

The primary bile salts are made by your liver, and then you have secondary bile salts made by your microbes.

So you need friendly bacteria to also make bile, not just the healthy liver, but enough bacteria.

There's a lot of natural things that can help you increase bile as far as supplements goes to reduce stones.

One is colean. You can get that in supplement.

It just so happens that grass-fed butter has colean in it, so that's one of the things that can help you to a certain degree.

And just because I'm talking about butter, I'll talk about it right now.

A certain amount of that butter is easier to digest because it doesn't have to go through all the steps of digestion.

I don't want to get into the mechanism of that.

All you need to know is that grass-fed butter does have some colean that can help you, but also the grass-fed butter being a fat, a saturated fat, can actually trigger the liver to make more bile.

As compared to people that are in a low-fat diet, they are at a higher risk for getting a gallstone simply because they're not triggering the liver to make more bile.

And they end up with the gallstones, not necessarily people that are consuming more fat.

Now, just taking purified bile salts are very important if you have gallstones because that has been known and used even by the medical community to help dissolve stones.
