Gabriel treats gallstones conservatively when possible—many stones asymptomatic, surgery not always necessary.
Gabriel treats gallstones conservatively when possible—many stones asymptomatic, surgery not always necessary. Protocol: 1) Bile acid supplementation (ursodeoxycholic acid can dissolve cholesterol stones over months), 2) Dietary modification (adequate healthy fats to stimulate bile flow—paradoxically, low-fat diets worsen gallbladder function), 3) Supplements to support bile flow and composition, 4) Address underlying metabolic issues, 5) Gallbladder flush protocols (controversial but some patients report benefit), 6) Treat food sensitivities. Surgery appropriate if: severe symptoms, large stones, complications (pancreatitis, cholecystitis)—but many asymptomatic or mild cases managed conservatively.
Standard Treatment
Asymptomatic stones: watchful waiting, Symptomatic: Cholecystectomy (surgical removal—laparoscopic), Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA—dissolves cholesterol stones, slow, only works for small stones, stones recur after stopping), Lithotripsy (shockwave—breaks up stones, less common now), Acute cholecystitis or complications: emergency surgery, antibiotics.
The Problem
Surgery (cholecystectomy) is definitive but: Removes organ (gallbladder has function—concentrates and releases bile, without it: continuous bile drip into intestines, diarrhea common, fat malabsorption, nutrient deficiencies, increased colon cancer risk in some studies), 20-40% develop 'post-cholecystectomy syndrome' (ongoing pain, digestive issues), doesn't address WHY stones formed (metabolic issues persist), UDCA rarely offered (can dissolve stones non-surgically but takes months, only for cholesterol stones), conventional doesn't recognize: low-fat diets WORSEN gallbladder function (need adequate fat for contraction), food sensitivities trigger attacks (elimination diet helpful), bile salt supplementation helpful post-surgery (replaces gallbladder function), many asymptomatic stone patients pushed toward surgery when watchful waiting appropriate.

Moderate healthy fats (NEED fat to stimulate gallbladder contraction—very low-fat diets worsen bile stasis and increase stone risk), Include: olive oil, avocado, nuts, fatty fish, coconut oil, Avoid: refined carbs, sugar (increases cholesterol saturation in bile), trans fats, fried foods, processed foods, Increase fiber (binds bile acids, reduces cholesterol reabsorption), Identify food triggers (eggs, dairy, gluten common—food sensitivities can trigger attacks), Beets and bitter greens (stimulate bile production), Adequate hydration, Coffee (stimulates gallbladder contraction—protective), Avoid rapid weight loss (increases stone risk—lose weight gradually), Small frequent meals vs large meals.
Gradual weight loss if overweight (rapid weight loss precipitates stones), regular meals (don't skip—bile stasis if gallbladder doesn't contract), adequate healthy fat intake (stimulate bile flow), manage metabolic health (insulin resistance linked to gallstones), avoid rapid fasting, if asymptomatic stones: watchful waiting often appropriate (many never cause symptoms), acute attack management: pain relief, avoid fat during acute inflammation, seek medical care if severe pain, fever, jaundice (complications require emergency treatment).
