@stephaniecrassweller: Sluggish bile flow = poor fat digestion, reduced nutrient absorption + another roadblock to feeling your best 1️⃣ Your gallbladder helps you digest the fats your hormones rely on 🥑 Your liver makes bile. Your gallbladder stores and concentrates it, then releases it when you eat fat. Without enough bile reaching your meal: → fats aren't digested as efficiently → absorption of vitamins A D E K can be reduced Those nutrients support everything from hormone function to metabolism and immune health. 💡 Include healthy fats with meals and chew your food well to support digestion. 2️⃣Your gallbladder helps your body eliminate used estrogen 🥦 Your liver packages used estrogen into bile. If bile flow is sluggish, estrogen elimination may be less efficient - especially if fiber intake is also low. Support with: ✔️ Cruciferous vegetables ✔️ Plenty of water ✔️ Daily movement 3️⃣Fiber helps carry bile, hormones and cholesterol OUT of the body 💩 Bile carries used hormones and cholesterol into your intestines. Without enough fiber, things can be reabsorbed instead of eliminated = inflammation More fiber = better elimination. Aim for 20–30g of fiber per day spread across your meals. 4️⃣Very low-fat diets can reduce gallbladder emptying ⚠️ Your gallbladder contracts when you eat fat. If you consistently avoid fat, it empties less often, allowing bile to sit longer. You don't need a high-fat diet but your body does need healthy fats. 🥑 Avocado 🫒 Olive oil 🥜 Nuts and seeds 🐟 Fatty fish 5️⃣ Removing your gallbladder doesn't mean you stop making bile 💚 The difference is that bile continuously trickles into your intestine instead of being stored and released in a concentrated burst with meals. Many people do well after surgery, while others benefit from strategies that support fat digestion and nutrient absorption. If your gallbladder isn't functioning well, it can absolutely become one more piece of the puzzle that's making your body harder to work with.
