RE: Is Oatmeal good for the Gallbladder?

I bought the book A LIver CLeansing DIet by Dr. Cabot - thanks

and when. There are some quick hit recipes in there that should help

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.

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.

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.

Does oatmeal slow things down in the digestive tract because of its

stickiness? Why does oatmeal cause me more pain? Or would it be better if I

added Omega flax powder to it, would this provide more fibre than the whole

flax seeds and cause less pain? Or would it be better to add olive oil to

the oatmeal, or flax oil to the oatmeal, has anyone tried any of these

variations and if so do they tast good or is this edible?

I am looking for fast breakfast foods that are filling and with fibre to

keep things moving out including the gallstones. Does anyone on the list

have any ideas about good filling breakfasts for people with gallstones that

would not cause pain and discomfort?

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.
