Healthy Diet for the Gallbladder Question

[Guest guest]

I was just wondering what type of diet would you all suggest to help the

Gallbladder. I am pregnant so no flushes yet for me. I would like to start

eating a lot better to help when I do a flush. Any food suggestion would be

great.

Thanks so much

No not yet, But I need to just reasearch more. I know beets are very good

for the Gallbladder. Just wanted to know what other vegetables are good for the

Gallbladder also.

~Here is some good info from Dave Sheldon that I saved from a

few days ago that might interest you. He's just shock-full of info!

And if I can't find an answer to somthing I will scroogle it (you

won't save history when you scroogle instead of google).

Hope this helps with the herbal part, anyway :~)

All bitter and sour herbs and foods stimulate the flow and

manufacture of bile. Many of the compounds that have these flavors

are members of the polyphenol group. Because of our jaded palettes

in the western cultures, we tend to skin them off, mill them out,

etc. This group contains: bioflavanoids, flavones, catechins,

saponins, tannins, anthocyanadins, proanthocyanadins, coumarins,

xanthones, etc. There is liver protection, liver detoxification and

liver regeneration. Many of these herbs and foods do all three to

some extent. Probably the best herb for regeneration would be bhumy

amalaki also known as chancha peidra in central and South America.

The above compounds are cold energetically. Herbs and foods that

contain volatile oils can also be liver detoxifying/protective.

Their energetics are warming. Boldo, dong quai, cinnamon,

notopterygii, oxknee are some of the members of this group. They

also stimulate the movement of blood (the liver in some ways is like

an oil filter) so the more blood you move through, the more efficient

the filtering process. The ladies in this group will notice that

this last group is " female hormonal " even though they do not contain

hormonal precursors, the female menstrual cycle is a blood cycle so

the majority of " female " herbs are blood moving liver herbs. The

saponins have both a hydro (water) and lipo (oil) lyphic end so are

soapy (sapo) and quite detoxifying as well as liver protective. Wild

yam is a good example. The steroidal saponins do contain the

hormonal precursors (wild yam). Milk thistle is more liver

protective than regenerative. New studies are showing licorice to be

equally protective by the way. Hope this helps, -D
