Don’t know if bile deficiency is related to joint issues but this may be something to look into if you haven’t yet. My naturopath recommended digestive enzymes with bile salts (suspecting pancreatic insufficiency) to help break down fats & proteins and aid vitamin/ nutrient absorption.
Interesting, my family Dr. had no suggestions for the onset of diverticulosis other than don’t eat seeds & nuts and go to ER if you have to, Anyhow, I gave info to two family members who’ve had their gall bladders removed (no suggestions from their drs either). It’s made a huge improvement for all of us.
FGMIA mods if I’m breaking any rules with links & I’ll remove. Just thought this may help some here. And agree with you Drink...health win is lacking. Maybe we need a GAW Health or Maga Health daily sticky of our own like Gen Discussion?
I love Dr. Berg. He's really helped on my intermittent fasting and keto progress and I take his electrolyte supplement. I WISH I still had a gallbladder. I went to 5 different doctors over 7 years with complaints and they all diagnosed me with tl;dr psychosomatic issues. But it was a gallbladder so blocked up it was termed a "porcelain gallbladder".
I'm not surprised, my dad and a friend had their gallbladders out and neither was told by the docs about bile salts or digestive enzymes to make up for it. My dad only found out about them from me when he told me his bloodwork showed low vitamin D and testosterone, he didn't know that the lack of a gallbladder was making it harder to him to absorb fat soluble vitamins and that he was going to need extra sunlight and that the falling D levels was going to sabotage his T levels in turn. Now his levels are returning to normal naturally after rectifying those issues.
