Summary: <p><br></p> <p>Today, we’re going to talk about the most common symptom of gallstones and natural remedies for gallstones. </p> <p><br></p> <p>It turns out that the most common symptom of gallstones is having no symptoms at all. 80% of people with gallstones don’t experience any symptoms until the situation worsens. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Other symptoms of gallstones or a gallbladder problem: </p> <p> • Pain or tightness under the right ribcage </p> <p> • Pain under the right rhomboid </p> <p> • Pain in the neck that runs up the side of the face</p> <p> • Nausea </p> <p> • Vomiting </p> <p> • Bloating </p> <p> • Belching </p> <p> • Jaundice </p> <p> • Dark urine </p> <p> • Pale stool</p> <p><br></p> <p>Gallstones can form when a person has high cholesterol and a lack of bile. Bile helps thin and eliminate cholesterol. A deficiency of bile is the real problem. </p> <p><br></p> <p>The gallbladder is an important organ that helps you store and concentrate bile and absorb fat-soluble nutrients. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Bile sludge is a common problem that can also cause pain, even when there aren’t any stones. Bile sludge can occur at different times but can be a complication after having your gallbladder removed, causing some of the same symptoms that lead you to have surgery. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Risk factors for getting gallstones: </p> <p> • Pregnancy </p> <p> • Birth control pills </p> <p> • Obesity </p> <p> • Type-2 diabetes </p> <p> • Liver disease </p> <p> • Constipation </p> <p> • Low folate </p> <p> • Taking PPIs</p> <p> • Consuming a high-carb diet </p> <p> • Consuming a low-fat diet </p> <p><br></p> <p>Natural ways to help get rid of gallstones:</p> <p>1.
