Re: Low Functioning Gallbladder

[Guest guest]

Well I have some ideas if your willing to try them.

To improve gb function you can try many things.

1. Apple Cider Vinegar in water minimum 10 min before food

2. Sweedish bitters taken after food. I did a quick search for

sweedish bitters and this is what came up:

3. Rebounding and stretching: I bought a rebounder from walmart.

Dirt cheap. I jump on it for only 5 minutes (you can work up to

longer durations). You dont have to jump you can just bounce if your

worried about balance issues. Excellent for detoxifying body tissues

including organs, muscles etc. The Lymphatic system loves rebounding

because its functioning is dependent on muscle contraction which may

or may not be adequate. So Lymph detox for those with chronic health

issues becomes vital. My gb felt much better and seemed to contract

more completely after using rebounder. I use it every day.

Lie on your right side. Put your right hand on the side of your head

to cradle it. Put pillows under your right arm pit. Allow your trunk

to stretch slighly. Reposition yourself so you can feel the stretch

along different areas of the right side of the body. Lying on the

right side while having the arm of the couch under your arm also is a

good way to get this stretch. Its almost like a more mild form of a

seated side bend. I felt a stretch right close to where the gb was

located, I suspect this was tight abdominal and diaphragm muscles

preventing the gb from contracting completely/properly. Though this

is just suspicion.

4. Amino Acids: I buy mine in bulk 1 lb powder from www.jomarlabs.com

High dose aminos can trigger emptying of the gb:

If I were you I would be taking 1 heaping tsp of amino complex powder

2x a day. Mix with a small amount of baking soda if you notice any

acid reflux or acidic feelings after dosing. Also mix some magnesium

in with it as mag helps assimilation of aminos within the body.

doctor mentioned a hida scan because he thinks I may have a low

functioning gall bladder. Is there anything to help it function more

efficiently? My symptoms come and go. I think I am all better then I

start to feel pressure again.

I think rebounding is great.....and very non-invasive on the knees,

etc. If anyone wants to learn more about it and just how good it is

for you I would recommned reading one of Al 's books, THE

MIRACLES OF REBOIUND EXERCISE, and his newer one called REBOUND

EXERCISE. Great way of keeping your lymphatic system clean, and you

can work up to other exercises shown in the book that are fun to do

because it doesn't really feel like exercise. You don't think you're

getting exercise but you sure feel it later, so my advice is to

start out slowly!

PS Anyone heard of Nia Yoga??

You can buy a book from Amazon by Al called Rebound Exercise.

His other one is THE MIRACLE OF REBOUND EXERCISE. The info he gives

motivates you to do rebounding every single day, it is that good for

you. He's helped people get out of wheelchairs and get well from

just bouncing! He recommends you start out for only a minute because

even tho it feels like you aren't getting any good out of it, you may

feel sore the next day. It exercises places you normally don't use.

And, like Amber said, you don't have to bounce like a crazy

person...just a few mins. Just bounce from the ball of your foot w/o

taking your foot off the mat. Make sure your body is loose and just

let everything 'flop' when you bounce. I was up to 20 mins. at one

point, but cut back because of time. I do jump on it every chance I

get, tho. Have fun with it!
