Guest guest Posted April 12, 2000 Report Share Posted April 12, 2000 Angel; I would consider doing a parasite cleanse if your liver or gallbladder is reacting to eating oatmeal. Then too, I would consider not using the instant brands either. If you were to get a chance to try Steelcut Oatmeal you may find you like it much better as a provision for soluble and non-soluble fiber.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2000 Report Share Posted April 12, 2000 Angel, When I started with my gallbladder problems I was eating a lot of oatmeal for breakfast. My naturpath said that I should consider food allergies and took me off oatmeal, wheat etc. I started eating fruit for breakfast and a shake with apple juice, a natural blend of vitamins, flaxseeds and it has done wonders for me. a -----Original Message----- From: Angel [mailto:anglstar@...] Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2000 9:18 PM gallstonesonelist Subject: Is Oatmeal good for the Gallbladder? I have started taking instant oatmeal with added oatbran to which I added whole flax seeds for breakfast in the morning, no milk of any kind, only hot water, as I had hoped that it would help with constipation, but I noticed that after taking the oatmeal my gallbladder hurts somewhat, and it did not relieve my constipation, but it was very filling.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2000 Report Share Posted April 12, 2000 To a and others who are interested in reading about the effects of the consumption of grains and both other whole and refined carbohydrates on the gastrointestinal tract: Wolfgang Lutz, M.D. published a book on the topic of the specific negative effects of carbohydrates in the diets of both human and livestock, that is currently out-of-print in the English edition. It is titled " Dismantling A Myth: The Role of Fat and Carbohydrate in Our Diet " . The German edition is still available at " Leben Ohne Brote " . To benefit from Dr. Lutz's long years of self-experimentation and clinical evidence, go to: http://www.inform.dk/djembe/scd/scdlutz.html click on the " Chapter VII Gastrointestinal Tract " link that will take you here: http://www.inform.dk/djembe/scd/lutz/lutz7.html where you can read Chapter 7 of his book, in English, in its entirety, complete with his supporting data. or click on " the introduction to the book " and then " Introductions " to go here: http://www.inform.dk/djembe/scd/lutz/default.html#ANCHOR01 where you will find several general introductory threads such as I have exerpted below: " I approached him with my idea that humans as well as chickens were led away from their original mode of nutrition with the introduction of carbohydrates by agriculture, and that this might be the explanation for the similar forms of arteriosclerosis seen in the two species. " " In further experiments we were able to demonstrate that the rates of tumor growth in experimental animals which follow the application of carcinogens, diminish significantly when carbohydrates are replaced by the isocaloric amount of fat. This can be interpreted as a generally increased stress tolerance of all body cells and by intensified immune mechanisms, whereby the developing tumour cells are eliminated more efficiently. " There is a copy of the book available on an inter-library loan basis from the public library in Houston, Texas. There is also an unconfirmed rumor that the Price-Pottenger Foundation is negotiating with Dr. Lutz, who is in his nineties and living in Austria, to re-print the English translation.
