Gallbladder
problems
Gallbladder
removal is the most common operation in North America. Every year,
more than half a million people in the United States and more than
50,000 people in Canada undergo surgery to remove their gallbladders
because of gallstones. Approximately 80% of all gallstones show no
symptoms and may remain "silent" for years. Once symptoms arise,
they persist and increase in frequency. The most common triggers for
gallbladder attacks are caffeine, chocolate, eggs, dairy products
(especially ice cream) and greasy or deep fried foods. Symptoms may
include right upper quadrant abdominal discomfort or sharp pain, gas
or fullness after a heavy meal. The pain can also spread to the
chest, shoulder, neck or back. In addition to these symptoms, stones
expelled from the gallbladder during contraction may become lodged
within the bile duct leading to infection of the bile duct or
gallbladder.
Different approaches to gallbladder problems in conventional
medicine all carry unwanted risks. The most common treatment,
surgery, has as many as 10% of patients coming out of surgery with
stones remaining in the bile ducts according to the U.S. National
Institute of Health. Bile duct injury is another risk. According to
the Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons:
"Complications of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy are infrequent, but
include bleeding, infection, pneumonia, blood clots, or heart
problems. Unintended injury to an adjacent structure such as the
common bile duct or duodenum may occur and may require another
surgical procedure to repair it. Bile leakage into the abdomen from
the tubular channels leading from the liver to the intestine has
been described."
The other treatment in conventional medicine is gallstone
dissolution by different drugs such as chenodeoxycholic acid (Chenix),
ursodeoxycholic acid (Actigall), methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), and
ethyl propionate. These drugs only work on smaller cholesterol
stones and may cause diarrhea, hepatic injury and increase in plasma
cholesterol level, nausea, pain or fever [References 2 and 3 at the
end of this section]. MTBE administration (intra-gallbladder
instillation) is an invasive procedure.
