Sad realities of the post-month No-Carb/No-sugar diet
On the subject of gall bladder not contracting:
Won't it be associated with the definite external symptoms? Like decolouration of one's urine or stool? I'm also reading that there are some herbal & mineral means in such cases to force the contractions and gall disposal. Like St.-John's wort or some mineral waters. "Ignoramus11294" wrote in message ... In article , Patricia Heil wrote: I would get to my doctor as fast as I can because that pain "around your liver" could be gall bladder disease from the fat in this diet. Here's a quote that indicates the opposite: http://www.annecollins.com/diet-news...w-cal-diet.htm ``Following a diet too low in fat or going for long periods without eating (skipping breakfast, for example), a common practice among dieters, may also decrease gallbladder contractions. If the gallbladder does not contract often enough to empty out the bile, gallstones may form.'' Here's the list of causes of gallstones, none involves eating fat: http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddise...ones/index.htm What causes gallstones? Cholesterol Stones Scientists believe cholesterol stones form when bile contains too much cholesterol, too much bilirubin, or not enough bile salts, or when the gallbladder does not empty as it should for some other reason. Pigment Stones The cause of pigment stones is uncertain. They tend to develop in people who have cirrhosis, biliary tract infections, and hereditary blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia in which too much bilirubin is formed. Other Factors It is believed that the mere presence of gallstones may cause more gallstones to develop. However, other factors that contribute to gallstones have been identified, especially for cholesterol stones. * Obesity. Obesity is a major risk factor for gallstones, especially in women. A large clinical study showed that being even moderately overweight increases one's risk for developing gallstones. The most likely reason is that obesity tends to reduce the amount of bile salts in bile, resulting in more cholesterol. Obesity also decreases gallbladder emptying. * Estrogen. Excess estrogen from pregnancy, hormone replacement therapy, or birth control pills appears to increase cholesterol levels in bile and decrease gallbladder movement, both of which can lead to gallstones. * Ethnicity. Native Americans have a genetic predisposition to secrete high levels of cholesterol in bile. In fact, they have the highest rate of gallstones in the United States. A majority of Native American men have gallstones by age 60. Among the Pima Indians of Arizona, 70 percent of women have gallstones by age 30. Mexican American men and women of all ages also have high rates of gallstones. * Gender. Women between 20 and 60 years of age are twice as likely to develop gallstones as men. * Age. People over age 60 are more likely to develop gallstones than younger people. * Cholesterol-lowering drugs. Drugs that lower cholesterol levels in blood actually increase the amount of cholesterol secreted in bile. This in turn can increase the risk of gallstones. * Diabetes. People with diabetes generally have high levels of fatty acids called triglycerides. These fatty acids increase the risk of gallstones. * Rapid weight loss. As the body metabolizes fat during rapid weight loss, it causes the liver to secrete extra cholesterol into bile, which can cause gallstones. * Fasting. Fasting decreases gallbladder movement, causing the bile to become overconcentrated with cholesterol, which can lead to gallstones. |

Sad realities of the post-month No-Carb/No-sugar diet

I have observed the dairy products you list are all massively processed products. They all just happen to be enzyme broken down calcium molecules. Wow, where to start... If you know of an enzyme that can break down a calcium molecule, you are on your way to the Nobel Prize for Physics. Let's just say you need to do a bit of reading up on the processes that produce cheeses, yogurt, sour cream and other milk-based products. Many lactose-intolerant people can manage yogurt because the enzyme needed to digest lactose, missing in many adults, is produced as part of the fermentation process by Lactobacillus acidophilus and others. The reason real cheeses are lower-carb than the milk they are made from is that lactose has largely been converted to lactic acid. One cheese rule of thumb - any cheese product that has the word 'food' in it, isn't.
