How can gallbladder polyps and gallstones be treated with bile acids? Can gallstones dissolve?
How do gallbladder polyps and gallstones develop?
If a person has bile leakage disorder for a long time, biliary stone formation can start. Initially, bile polyps form on the gallbladder wall, and as the stagnant bile fluid builds up on these, small and then larger gallstones form. Biliary polyps are often initially asymptomatic.
The main symptoms of gallstones:
- bloating,
- crampy stomach, bile spasm
- pain under the right rib cage,
- stabbing pain radiating into the back
- diarrhoea or constipation.
"My daughter had bilious spasms every three months, she started taking GALLMET bile acid capsules, two a day, and hasn't had a bilious spasm for 3 years now."
What can someone who has already developed gallstones do?
- Taking bile acids and possibly bitter substances containing herbs
- Consuming bile acids can relieve symptoms and even dissolve up to 10-15 mm of the so-called soft cholesterol stone.
- A less stressful lifestyle can reduce the symptoms of gallstones.
Bile stone dissolution
Two important bile acids are formed in the liver, whose role is to keep otherwise water-insoluble fats in emulsion. In cases where gallstones are formed from cholesterol crystals, they can be made soluble by taking capsules containing bile acids of high purity (urzo or chenodeoxycholic acid).
What to watch out for during gallstone dissolution?
First of all, patience is required, as the stone formation takes months and it is not possible to dissolve it immediately.
The duration of treatment depends on the size, type and number of stones. The expected duration of therapy can range from a few months to a year.

Which gallstones are suitable for gallstone dissolution?
It is mainly cholesterol-containing stones that can be dissolved. These are recognisable by the fact that they are not visible on X-rays taken without contrast material (the X-ray beam is transmitted), but are clearly visible on ultrasound. Floating stones are particularly suitable for lithotripsy.
Further rules for chemical bile leaching:
- the size of the stone should not exceed 1-2 cm;
- the stone should be smaller than half the size of the gallbladder;
- a well-functioning gallbladder: it should be able to contract strongly when you eat;
- the bile ducts must be free of stones and freely passable;
- in the case of gallstone dissolution, you should check with the doctor supervising the gallstone dissolution what medicines you can take during the gallstone dissolution
"I have been taking GALLMET capsules for 2 years. I have had numerous biliary polyps, between 3 and 8 mm. On the last ultrasound the doctor only saw 1 polyp of 5 mm."
The benefits of gallstone dissolution
The safety and efficacy of gallstone dissolution with bile acids, without significant side effects, have been demonstrated in several international clinical studies in more than 10,000 patients.
During this treatment
- the gallbladder is preserved, avoiding surgery;
- no need to fear surgical risks and complications;
- the treatment is painless and the patient can continue with their daily work.
- symptoms of gallstones are relieved while taking bile acids: bloating, pain under the right ribcage, pain radiating into the back, constipation, etc.
- We recommend drinking 2-3 litres of non-carbonated and additive-free drinking water a day.
Treatment effectiveness: can be effective in 60-70% of cases. Ultrasonography, possibly supplemented by contrast media X-ray, is a suitable method to check for stone size reduction. Follow-up examinations are recommended every 3-6 months. Pregnancy should be avoided during this period.
What causes biliary polyps and gallstones?
- One cause of gallstone formation is genetic, so it runs in families and is mainly inherited by women.
- Because of a ruptured gallbladder and a ruptured bile duct.
- It is also common in women during pregnancy. It is also affected by lifestyle and diet.
- Too little water consumption, 2-3 liters of non-carbonated water per day is recommended.
- Most often, it can be caused by excessive fat consumption. So being overweight and having high cholesterol levels also predisposes people to gallstones.
- In other cases, it otherwise develops in dieters because they don't eat enough fatty, oily foods, which stimulate the gallbladder to produce enough bile.
- "One of the reasons for the formation of cholesterol stones is the relatively low consumption of fat compared to carbohydrates and the consequent reduced bile excretion. 10 dkg of salami can empty the gallbladder at 80%, three eggs at 100%" - Source: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - The gallstone problem
- So overall, it is mainly genetics, poor eating habits, liver dysfunction and emotional reasons that are behind gallstones.
