In this video, I want to explain a little bit about bile sludge. Bile sludge is a pre-gallstone state. Gallstones develop over a period of time from sludge. The sludge is a concentration of cholesterol without the thinning agent (bile). 

In bile salts, there are also cholesterol crystals, calcium salts, bilirubin, sodium chloride, and mucin. When there is more cholesterol and not enough bile salts, you can start developing sludge, which can then turn into a stone. This often happens in pregnant women. If someone has a history of antibiotics or they had gastric bypass, they may be at a higher risk as well. 

Bile sludge can get jammed up and stuck in the ducts, causing pressure, pain, inflammation, and other serious issues. Bile salts are detergents, and if they’re in the wrong place, this can create major irritation and side effects. One of the symptoms is pain in the right upper quadrant. 

One important function of bile is the elimination of things, such as:
• Drugs
• Xenobiotics 
• Toxins 
• Heavy metals 
• Fat-soluble poisons 

What you could do if you have bile sludge:
• Start taking purified bile salts on an empty stomach
• Implement the correct diet (healthy keto)
