How to Get Rid of Gallstones for Good

Gallbladder stones are developed inside the gallbladder and can occasionally get stuck in its tube ducts. Your gallbladder is a small pear-shaped organ connected to your liver. Its functions include concentrating and storing bile. Bile is a yellowish-green fluid that your liver continuously releases to break down acid and fat in half-digested foods. Cholesterol is the main component of most gallstones. When your cholesterol levels are elevated, bile compounds turn into small, hard crystals in your gallbladder called gallstones. By employing all the methods below, you can help your body get rid of gallstones.

Instructions

• 1

  Consume three liters of water every day. Drinking enough water plays an important role in disintegrating gallstones. Your body is composed mostly of water, and it is vital that the balance of cells, enzymes, and hormones is maintained. Water eliminates unwanted cholesterol and toxins through your sweat glands, thus dissolving the gallstones.

• 2

  Consume foods that are rich in fiber. Fiber can help bind cholesterol, bile and fatty acids to make stool. Fiber helps break down gallstones by making your stool bulkier while transporting unneeded cholesterol as waste. Foods high in fiber include dried figs, fava beans, oatmeal and whole wheat pasta. Eat at least three cups of these kinds of food every day.

• 3

  Take vitamin C (ascorbic acid) capsules daily. Vitamin C acts by converting bad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein-LDL) to bile acids. When your body has low cholesterol levels and more bile acids, your gallstones will gradually disintegrate. Two 500 mg capsules once a day is the safe dosage for vitamin C.

• 4

  Consume lecithin capsules. Lecithin can help molecularly break down the fat in the food you consume. The recommended dosage is one 1200 mg capsule once daily with food. In addition, you can also consume foods high in lecithin, including lentils, tofu, nuts, wheat germ and whole grains.

  Avoid eating fatty foods such as canned meats and pastries. These types of foods are high in bad cholesterol, which can slow down the emptying of your stomach and increase acid secretion. The faster you remove fatty foods from your diet, the faster your liver can balance out your blood cholesterol levels, thereby dissolving your gallstones and prevent future ones from forming.
