Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I found a nutritionist here who is specialized in liver disease and especially NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease). She told me that because I take Urso, it is not good to eat Quaker porridge, since it inhibits production of bile salts. Has anyone heard of this, and can anyone explain this to me?

The bile acids are mostly but re-absorbed from the lower intestine and then recycled to the liver. They said oats contained a soluble fibre called beta glucan and that it was postulated, and supported by studies examining the effect of beta glucan on bile acid excretion, that beta glucan bound to bile acids in the intestine and resulted in a greater than normal excretion from the body. Cholesterol in the body was then used to make new bile acids in the liver, so helping to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. " So it's not as much that it inhibits production of bile salts, as that it binds up the ones that are already there (sort of like cholestyramine perhaps?) so that your body has to produce more rather than reabsorbing them. If taken to close to the Urso, it may bind it up too, and that may be what your nutritionist was worried about. athan No virus found in this outgoing message Checked by PC Tools AntiVirus (4.0.0.20 - 10.060.001). http://www.pctools.com/free-antivirus/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 , This is from the Quaker oats website: How do oats reduce cholesterol? Oatmeal is the only major grain that has been proven to help reduce cholesterol. Oat soluble fiber mixes with cholesterol-based bile acids in the digestive tract and prevents them from being absorbed. The oat fiber then carries them out of the body. In response, the liver pulls cholesterol out of the bloodstream to replace these bile acids. Cholesterol levels then drop. http://www.quakeroats.com/qfb_OurBrands/BrandDetail.cfm?BrandID=5 My nutritionist seems to conclude that the excretion of bile this way is not good for us; that it does the opposite what Urso does, so they cancel each other out.
