Work, but only 500 mg per pill
These pills do what they should by digesting fats. I bought them because I thought they were 1000 mg per pill, which is what I was taking in another brand that became unavailable. But they are only 500 mg pills. I’ve had my gallbladder removed and was very sick for years before gallbladder removal and afterwards. No doctors helped my issue. Horrible acid, nausea, bloating and chronic constipation. I found out with outside lab tests that I had Candida and mold, plus a fatty liver. I had my gallbladder removed because it was packed with gallstones but that only made matters worse. I’ve found out since that most people with gerd actually have too little hci and most people with gallstones have too little bile being produced by their liver, that is getting fatty. I take several hci capsules now and one bile capsule now with every meal and it has changed my life. Doctors actually hurt us so much more by giving us antacids and ppi’s for acid. We need that hci that the lining of our damaged stomach is not making enough of… too little hci, and the little flap at the top of our stomach isn’t triggered to close properly… leading to our stomach acid being able to come up our throat… making us THINK we have too much acid… when in fact we have not enough… This started with me and I wasn’t able to digest proteins properly and I had horrible acid coming up my throat. It happens with age or when our gut flora become imbalanced .. poor diet… many reasons, but it starts a chain reaction… if our liver starts getting fatty , it doesn’t produce enough bile anymore… bile helps take out toxin’s. It also helps regulate our hormones and cholesterol. It also helps our Thyroid function. From a healthy person, I went downhill fast.. I was chronically sick.. I lost a lot of weight because I felt so toxic and nauseous. I was very constipated very badly and I looked 6 months pregnant with all the bloating. I spent thousands of dollars on tests and different pills. Our gallbladder is a holding tank for the bile that our liver produces. It releases the amount that we need to digest fats when we eat. If our liver is already damaged and not making enough bile… then we get our gallbladder removed… small drips of bile then go straight into our small intestine. When we eat a fatty meals, we don’t have the proper amount of bile to digest those fats. So these bile pills now do that for me, along with the the hci pills helping digest proteins I eat. When I started the hci… I had no more gerd.. it just stopped. Then by adding the ox bile, no more nausea and no more constipation. Also the Thyroid pills the drs had put me on… I no longer need them, because the bile that I’m now getting is helping my Thyroid function. I just had my annual blood tests, and my Thyroid function was normal!! I’ve been taking these now for almost a year. I do take enzymes as well with my meals. And occasionally probiotics… but what really changed things for me was the Ox Bile and HCI. It’s sad that drs only focus on treating a symptom, instead of trying to stop the symptom from happening to begin with and it’s very sad that sometimes we have to learn to try to help ourselves and can’t count on them.
