While gas and bloating may not be as problematic as a gallbladder attack, it is still a digestive complaint that significantly affects quality of life. There are several possible reasons behind it aside from what’s happening in the biliary system. As you read on, you will understand ten of the most common causes of gas and bloating. Knowing what these are may help save you from trouble.

Gas and bloating often accompany gallbladder problems. It is also a digestive complaint that can significantly affect quality of life.

A major concern people have when they start to experience the pain of a gallbladder attack is whether or not the gallbladder is about to burst or if it already has. But a gallbladder attack is often accompanied by excruciating pain that has nothing to do with rupture. When the normal flow of bile gets disrupted, regardless of the mechanism, pain ensues. And when the gallbladder is blocked and distends, it may place pressure on the nerves causing the pain to refer to the back.

Gallbladder rupture is a rare but valid concern of those with gallbladder pain. Perforation is often caused by cholecystitis among others. Learn more here.

Although it is a natural phase every female goes through as part of aging, it is still very natural to have some concerns. Aside from being a biological reminder of years passing by so quickly, menopause can bring about an overwhelming number of physical, emotional, and cognitive changes. Therefore, it is important to know all the possible risks involved during this turning point. One aspect that we at GallbladderAttack would like to emphasize is the impact of menopause on biliary and gallbladder health.

The probability of developing gallbladder diseases, including gallstones, increases as we age or reach menopause.

Astragalus is deemed to be so effective that it is now considered an official drug in the modern Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China. In the Western world, however, there is still insufficient clinical evidence on the medicinal benefits of Astragalus to influence the outcome of human diseases despite the sheer volume of pharmacological studies related to the plant. Nevertheless, it is slowly taking its ground as a supplement with its immuno-stimulant, anti-oxidative, cardio-protective, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and stem cell stimulating properties.

Astragalus or Huang Qi is one of the most famous herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Know its health benefits in this blog.

We have always emphasized the connection between digestive health and brain health. It’s the reason why chronic gastrointestinal issues may cause a foggy brain, insomnia, or depression. It also works vice versa, with stress and overthinking affecting our digestive process. Many of our patients have experienced these symptoms and are aware of the mind-gut link, so we get a lot of inquiries about how we can help them boost their brain health.

We have partnered with Neurohacker to bring you Qualia Stack and Qualia Mind, top-of-the-line nootropics to take you to the next level.

“Turn back the hands of time. Restore your smooth, radiant, and wrinkle-free skin.”
“Get rid of your blotches and blemishes. Bring back your youthful glow.”
“Stop looking your age.”

These are just some of the promises of skincare products promoted daily in our midst. It seems borderline offensive but effective – as seen in the growing market for anti-aging products worldwide. And when we think of products that claim to counter (or reverse) skin aging, we think of hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid is known for its skin benefits. But there's more to it for the skin, joints, and the eyes. Learn more here.

Resveratrol is a natural compound associated with a lot of health benefits. It is a type of polyphenol, a stilbene, best known as a component in red wine and grapes. Its discovery and association with red wine gave rise to the term “French paradox in a bottle,” an explanation for why there is a low incidence of heart disease and obesity among the French people when they have a relatively high-fat diet.

Resveratrol is a known antioxidant. But did you know that there are also resveratrol benefits for the liver, gallbladder, and the gut?

Collagen and gelatin are proteins widely used for food, medicine, and cosmetics because of their excellent qualities. They are biocompatible, which means that they do not produce toxic or immunological responses when exposed to the body or any living tissue. They also have weak antigenicity, so they won’t elicit an immune response when ingested – great news for those suffering from chronic inflammation, allergies, and autoimmune diseases. Collagen and gelatin protein are also biodegradable and easily absorbed by the body.

Collagen and gelatin are not only good protein sources, they're also good for leaky gut and more. Find out benefits of collagen protein and gelatin here.

Avoiding fried foods can be a challenge. Despite the proven consequences of excessive fat intake, frying is still a widely used industrial and domestic cooking method. So if you really must fry, you can use avocado for higher heat, then olive or coconut. However, it doesn’t work that way if you think that unhealthy fried food will suddenly become good for you just because you have used a healthy oil for frying. Doughnuts and fried soda will still be bad for your health.

Patients with gastrointestinal and gallbladder problems are often advised to steer clear of fried and greasy food. But is healthy frying possible?

Despite the taste, we see significant involvement of the bitter flavor in almost every culture, especially within the early medical systems. One ancient Oriental adage even says, “Good medicine always tastes bitter.” As far as 2,000 years ago, early Mediterranean, Ayurvedic, and Chinese medical practitioners have integrated bitter herbs and bitter foods into their formulas. With the expansion of global trading and the advancement of technology, these preparations have evolved and become more than just an herbal tonic and folk remedy.

Know about the science of bitter taste and how bitter herbs benefit more than just the gastrointestinal system. Read the blog to learn more about bitters.

There are a lot of synthetic and natural anti-inflammatories available in the market today, but none of them work like CBD.

CBD counteracts inflammation via different pathways. It interacts with various receptors, hormones, fatty acids, and cell-signaling proteins to produce an anti-inflammatory effect. These may sound technical, but it is good to know that CBD has more ways than one to reduce or manage inflammation in the body.

Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, has a number of known benefits for brain health, immunity, pain management, and gut health including for gallbladders.

Pungent, earthy, sulphury – words you might not want to describe the food you’re eating. That’s spirulina. After all, it’s an alga. But whatever it lacks in taste, it makes up for in nutrition. Despite its pungent smell and borderline nasty taste, spirulina is considered the best among the supplements available today. It gives the most nutrition per acre among all other foods globally. Even the United Nations and World Health Organization have recognized spirulina supplement health benefits and nutritional value and have claimed it to be an ideal food.

The term superfood gets thrown around a lot these days. But if you haven't tried spirulina supplement, then you haven't experienced the best of the best.

Generally, organic food is produced by farmers and animal raisers who employ the use of environment-friendly methods and renewable resources. Food products must be grown and processed according to federal guidelines to get USDA certification. Companies that handle or process organic food until it gets to various establishments should also comply with strict requirements.

Organic food is getting more and more popular in the last decades. Know the pros and cons of this food consideration by reading this blog.

Despite the overwhelming numbers and worldwide patronage of coffee, one question remains unanswered – is coffee good or bad? Unfortunately, there is no definitive response to that. In our Gallbladder Food list, we have categorized coffee under the “do not consume” list for a number of reasons, all of which will be discussed in this blog. It is very important for patients suffering from gallbladder attacks to avoid coffee. On the other hand, science proves that coffee may also support the liver and the bile.

Coffee is off-limits to those having gallbladder attacks. But are there coffee benefits that gallbladder patients can consider?

Have you noticed how you feel so sleepy and lethargic after a big meal? Or how you can’t sleep when you’re hungry? Or how do your digestive issues seem to be worse after a bad night of sleep? Not to mention the fact that gastrointestinal symptoms make sleep elusive. You have probably experienced at least one of these, but you just can’t put your finger on how it is that gut affects your sleep and vice versa.

There is a strong connection between sleep and gut health - the circadian clock. But do you know how they influence each other?
