gallbladder function

gallbladder function

I was just wondering how quickly gallbladder function can go down? I have a slow functioning gallbladder--10% as of last year. How quickly does the percentage go down? I am on a low fat diet, but have eaten some other meats since last year.

Ask your doctor about doing the following!
a bottle of “bile salts” (basically, bile in tablet or capsule form). After any meal containing more than a tiny bit of fat or oil, take one to three tablets or capsules.
Some physicians think that trying to reproduce a more normal bile flow with bile salts is
too much trouble and advise taking large extra quantities of all the fat-soluble nutrients daily instead. But even those who choose this option need some bile to achieve optimal fat-soluble nutrient assimilation, I recommend taking bile salts if your own gallbladder is gone. You’ll never be able to exactly match the amount of bile you take to the oil or fat you eat the way your gallbladder did automatically, but taking bile salts will go a long way in helping the process along, and it’s much better for your health than not taking them at all.
there are very few potential adverse effects of taking replacement bile salts. Too much,
and bowel movements become abnormally dark and sometimes loose. Conversely, too little, and bowel movements are very light in color nowhere close to a “normal” medium to dark brown. Bile salt replacements are available in natural food stores, compounding pharmacies.
