The doctor spoke about the symptoms of bile stagnation Doctor Ivanova: dry skin and discomfort from fatty foods indicate bile stagnation 07:02

Bile stagnation can be accompanied by stool disorders and impaired absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, which leads to dry skin and mucous membranes. Adequate fat intake can prevent stagnation. Gastroenterologist CMD of the Center for Molecular Diagnostics Obninsk Federal Budgetary Institution Rospotrebnadzor, Candidate of Medical Sciences Irina Ivanova told socialbites.ca.

“Bile determines intestinal motility, so stagnation of bile manifests itself as constipation, and the discharge of accumulated thick bile causes diarrhea. Absorption of fat-soluble vitamins is also possible. At the same time, dry skin and mucous membranes, eyes, blurred vision at dusk develop. Nausea is possible due to foods that actively reduce the gallbladder (broth, eggs, chocolate, bakery products, cocoa). Their use can also cause discomfort, bloating, and pain in the right hypochondrium,” the doctor said.

Eating fatty foods leads to the release of thick accumulated bile in people with outflow disorders. In this case, severe inflammation occurs in several meters of the gastrointestinal tract. Discomfort and pain can be accompanied by weakness, intoxication, and sometimes a slight increase in body temperature. It is important for people who feel bad after eating fatty foods not to give up fat, as this will worsen the flow of bile.

“You can not refuse fats: if you do not have them, you will not have bile. An adult man needs about four tablespoons during the day, and a woman – three. It is better to choose oils, butter and unrefined vegetable oils. Sunflower oil is less healthy than others. Raw flaxseed is very healthy, but it should be fresh and not bitter. Vegetable oils should be present in the diet twice as much as animal fats,” explained Ivanova.

It is important to drink about two liters of water a day to stimulate bile flow. It is useful to drink warm water 15 minutes before meals, you can also add lemon to it.

“Warm water relaxes the sphincters responsible for the release of bile and pancreatic juice into the intestines, and citric acid activates the formation of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This leads to an increase in the level of cholecystokinin, a hormone that stimulates the bile ducts,” Ivanova said.

The doctor recommended that breakfast be eaten one to two hours after waking up and that the meal contain more fat. Physical activity and breathing practices that help relax the diaphragm and activate the parasympathetic nervous system are also beneficial. You can use diaphragmatic breathing from yoga, visceral massage, Wushu, or Qigong.
