RE: Gall Bladder Functioning at 17%. The cause of low gallbladder functioning is often the Standard American Diet, which basically amounts to high fat, high cholesterol, mostly from vegetable oils and eating meat.Avoiding oily and fatty food will remove fat blockages of the gall bladder, but the gall bladder also functions in utilization of electrolytes and water. Hence drinking plenty of water during meal with a small pinch of sea salt, strict vegetarian diet for only two weeks, no vegetable oils will reduce most of the problem in a matter of two weeks. Thereafter adjust diet accordingly, but most importantly that granulated lecithin, which is primarily defatted, is also a fat emulsifier may restore that condition. Some major electrolytes I used are sea salt, some potassium, preferably tripotassium citrate, or potassium chloride, and magnesium supplements, but no calcium is required. Less sugar in the diet makes for less calcium to leech out of the bones as sugar are acid forming and less acid inducing food, will help reduce calcium blockages from the high sugar (mostly corn syrup fructose, but glucose and sucrose is avoided, and no use of artificial sugars as in aspartame which is a neurotoxin). Gall bladder issues can be reversed if diets are changed.
