Like hundreds of thousands of Americans out there, I have had my gallbladder removed this year in June. I did my research before the surgery and discovered this product on Amazon. Subsequently, I've researched ox bile from one end to the other, and in a nutshell this is your gallbladder in a bottle.My surgeon didn't even know ox bile existed and wanted the information about this so she could recommend it to her other patients whose gallbladders she removed.I discovered that when you have your gallbladder removed, within a very short period of time you will indeed gain weight. By using the ox bile, your food is properly digested, and the weight gain stops. Without using the ox bile, the animal fats and animal products that you consume are not digested properly and pass through your intestinal tract undigested. In your large intestine, the fat is extracted and stored into your fat cells, and that is why you gain weight quickly without a gallbladder.I get the 125 milligrams because if you need more you can take more. I take 1 ox bile after my first bite or two of food where I am consuming an animal product some sort. If you have had your gallbladder removed, even decades ago, I promise you your doctor probably never mentioned one word to you about proper eating, the weight gain that follows gallbladder removal, the bloating and digestive issues that you will experience, the constipation or diarrhea that you will experience. You were probably told that once your gallbladder is removed you can go back to eating like you could before all the problems started. I'm sure by now you have discovered that that is not so, and that you have gained a lot of weight and you don't know why. I also highly recommend that you Google "life without a gallbladder" and read everything you can. I also take digestive enzymes, (which are different than probiotics), to aid in digestion when needed. Your pancreas provides the digestive enzymes, but sometimes, after gallbladder removal, you need a little extra help. (Research digestive enzymes too).I highly recommend this product. This is indeed your gallbladder in a bottle. Also if your gallbladder is still in your body but not functioning properly you can take this product as well. You will find that adding an ox bile capsule to a meal where you have meat or cheese, your food will digest much better. Please educate yourself on this first.

First, a little medical history. About ten years ago, I began to suffer from gall bladder attacks. The HIDA scan showed my gall bladder was functioning at about 10% capacity, so out it came. I did moderately well after recovery, though I suffered from bouts of diarrhea when I ate anything to fatty. I was told that was normal. Fast forward about five years and I began to suffer from digestive difficulties again. This time the issues seemed to be bloating, gas, gerd, nausea and diarrhea. Following an episode of blood diarrhea, I was given a endo- and colonoscopy. They found over a dozen polyps, a couple of which were pre-cancerous. I seemed to be better following their extraction. I was told I dodged a bullet. Fast forward to the last year, and the digestive difficulties returned again. This time much worse than ever before. I couldn't eat anything without suffering from extreme bloating and gas, stomach pains, diarrhea of the "Oh, God, just kill me now" variety, horrific nausea, and now dizziness and rapid heart beat. My BMs were pale yellow and greasy. The GERD was almost unbearable. I finally got online and searched for "problems digesting after gall bladder removal" and found out about ox bile supplementation. I bought these after a little more research, not really expecting too much. Nothing else had helped. But I have been very pleasantly surprised. In fact, fingers crossed, I might even say that I have cured myself! The first time I took two pills with a Subway sub my only food for the day, and was delighted to find that I digested it pretty easily and without very much gas or bloating. The next time I took them with my wife's homemade chili. Although there was some gas-- probably the chili-- and I did spit up acid once from the GERD, the pills helped me digest the chili without too much difficulty. I think I would have been fine if I had taken two pills but my wife has been watching me like a hawk with these pills for some reason and I only took one. Guess she thinks I am going to overdo it. Today, a big greasy burger and potato wedges. I said what the hell and took three. Although burgers really seem to throw my belly for a loop, my stomach chewed it up like a champ with only very mild burping. No gerd. No nausea. No bloating. No diarrhea. Today, for the first time in two weeks, my stools were normal colored and somewhat firm, rather than a greasy, explosive mess. You normally shouldn't expect quick results with any kind of supplement, but the ox bile works directly on aiding your digesting, and the effect should be immediately evident if you are not producing enough bile to digest your meals. I have decided to take one of these for a snack. Two for a larger meal. And three with my problem foods. Fried chicken. Fries. Pizza. Nuts. Hamburger. Although I tend to eat lightly, I do not follow any specific diet plans. After years of stomach woes, I have shrunk my stomach and only eat one or two things a day. I basically developed an eating disorder. I still can only eat very small meals twice a day. But at least those meals are digesting properly. I finally have some relief. My symptoms following all my stomach problems were SEVERE. I mean, there were times I thought about killing myself. But these pills really seem to be the missing puzzle piece that I have been searching for for a while. I wish my doctor had suggested I take an ox bile supplement with my food following my gall bladder removal. He would have spared me ten years of unending suffering and unpleasantness.
