NutriCology Ox Bile 125 mg - Supports Fat Digestion - Delivers 125 mg Concentrated Bile Salts per Serving - Hypoallergenic & Vegetarian - 180 Servings - 180 Capsules

First, a little medical history. About ten years ago, I began to suffer from gall bladder attacks. The HIDA scan showed my gall bladder was functioning at about 10% capacity, so out it came. I did moderately well after recovery, though I suffered from bouts of diarrhea when I ate anything to fatty. I was told that was normal. Fast forward about five years and I began to suffer from digestive difficulties again. This time the issues seemed to be bloating, gas, gerd, nausea and diarrhea. Following an episode of blood diarrhea, I was given a endo- and colonoscopy. They found over a dozen polyps, a couple of which were pre-cancerous. I seemed to be better following their extraction. I was told I dodged a bullet. Fast forward to the last year, and the digestive difficulties returned again. This time much worse than ever before. I couldn't eat anything without suffering from extreme bloating and gas, stomach pains, diarrhea of the "Oh, God, just kill me now" variety, horrific nausea, and now dizziness and rapid heart beat. My BMs were pale yellow and greasy. The GERD was almost unbearable. I finally got online and searched for "problems digesting after gall bladder removal" and found out about ox bile supplementation. I bought these after a little more research, not really expecting too much. Nothing else had helped. But I have been very pleasantly surprised. In fact, fingers crossed, I might even say that I have cured myself! The first time I took two pills with a Subway sub my only food for the day, and was delighted to find that I digested it pretty easily and without very much gas or bloating. The next time I took them with my wife's homemade chili. Although there was some gas-- probably the chili-- and I did spit up acid once from the GERD, the pills helped me digest the chili without too much difficulty. I think I would have been fine if I had taken two pills but my wife has been watching me like a hawk with these pills for some reason and I only took one. Guess she thinks I am going to overdo it. Today, a big greasy burger and potato wedges. I said what the hell and took three. Although burgers really seem to throw my belly for a loop, my stomach chewed it up like a champ with only very mild burping. No gerd. No nausea. No bloating. No diarrhea. Today, for the first time in two weeks, my stools were normal colored and somewhat firm, rather than a greasy, explosive mess. You normally shouldn't expect quick results with any kind of supplement, but the ox bile works directly on aiding your digesting, and the effect should be immediately evident if you are not producing enough bile to digest your meals. I have decided to take one of these for a snack. Two for a larger meal. And three with my problem foods. Fried chicken. Fries. Pizza. Nuts. Hamburger. Although I tend to eat lightly, I do not follow any specific diet plans. After years of stomach woes, I have shrunk my stomach and only eat one or two things a day. I basically developed an eating disorder. I still can only eat very small meals twice a day. But at least those meals are digesting properly. I finally have some relief. My symptoms following all my stomach problems were SEVERE. I mean, there were times I thought about killing myself. But these pills really seem to be the missing puzzle piece that I have been searching for for a while. I wish my doctor had suggested I take an ox bile supplement with my food following my gall bladder removal. He would have spared me ten years of unending suffering and unpleasantness.

After having my gallbladder removed in 2010, I started having issues after every meal. I gained weight and realized my body is not metabolizing fat. My brother had his out and has not suffered from the consequences, but I have. I started taking enzymes, and in the experimental phase with them and ox bile, I bought a bottle of enzymes with ox bile in the capsule (225 mg). I found that I couldn't control the amount of ox bile I took and if I needed more, I was also taking more enzymes. This formulation is perfect for me; I take supplements of vitamins as well as enzymes, and this pill is small; the dosage is small so I can take a small amount with a small meal and increase the number of capsules based on the fat load in the meal. My digestion has returned to regularity and as others have shared, I no longer swing back and forth between constipation and diarrhea. I am still having trouble shifting much weight, but that's from hormonal issues and menopause and age, but at least I am maintaining my weight and have stopped gaining, holding steady at the same weight for over a year now. I am grateful to have found these. While it seems economical to have one pill with everything in it, the important thing for me came down to the appropriate dosage for my system. I am grateful to have found this and I know that it provides my liver with support and relief when managing fats and hormones. I recommend this brand and this dosage to anyone with digestive issues related to gallbladder failure or removal; no pill is going to put our bodies back the way they were before an organ comes out, and aging presents us with specific challenges, but these pills have relieved my discomfort after eating and has helped me regulate my digestive issues, which is a huge relief in many ways, at many levels.

Product is great for folks without a gallbladder. Ox bile breaks down fats and without a gallbladder we don't absorb fat soluable vitamins A D E and K. I use a lower dose of 125mg with fattyeals. I'd imagine keto dieters could use this. Gallbladder or not.

I started having pain and soreness under my rib cage about twenty years ago. My doctor ordered testing which ruled out gallstones in my gallbladder. The soreness and pain continued until the spring of this year when it became intolerable. This time it came with extreme nausea. More tests were performed and showed that the gallbladder and ducts weren’t functioning properly, still no stones. Just over a month ago, I had surgery to remove the gallbladder. Unfortunately, all the symptoms remained. The nausea, pain and soreness were ruining my life. I ate bland foods and not even that helped. Long story short, I found this product. After reading the reviews, I purchased it and by trial and error, I have found the right dosage and I am almost back to normal. All bodily functions are normal. I can’t imagine what I would have done without it. The doctors didn’t have an answer. So thankful for this product! I highly recommend it!

Like hundreds of thousands of Americans out there, I have had my gallbladder removed this year in June. I did my research before the surgery and discovered this product on Amazon. Subsequently, I've researched ox bile from one end to the other, and in a nutshell this is your gallbladder in a bottle. My surgeon didn't even know ox bile existed and wanted the information about this so she could recommend it to her other patients whose gallbladders she removed. I discovered that when you have your gallbladder removed, within a very short period of time you will indeed gain weight. By using the ox bile, your food is properly digested, and the weight gain stops. Without using the ox bile, the animal fats and animal products that you consume are not digested properly and pass through your intestinal tract undigested. In your large intestine, the fat is extracted and stored into your fat cells, and that is why you gain weight quickly without a gallbladder. I get the 125 milligrams because if you need more you can take more. I take 1 ox bile after my first bite or two of food where I am consuming an animal product some sort. If you have had your gallbladder removed, even decades ago, I promise you your doctor probably never mentioned one word to you about proper eating, the weight gain that follows gallbladder removal, the bloating and digestive issues that you will experience, the constipation or diarrhea that you will experience. You were probably told that once your gallbladder is removed you can go back to eating like you could before all the problems started. I'm sure by now you have discovered that that is not so, and that you have gained a lot of weight and you don't know why. I also highly recommend that you Google "life without a gallbladder" and read everything you can. I also take digestive enzymes, (which are different than probiotics), to aid in digestion when needed. Your pancreas provides the digestive enzymes, but sometimes, after gallbladder removal, you need a little extra help. (Research digestive enzymes too). I highly recommend this product. This is indeed your gallbladder in a bottle. Also if your gallbladder is still in your body but not functioning properly you can take this product as well. You will find that adding an ox bile capsule to a meal where you have meat or cheese, your food will digest much better. Please educate yourself on this first.

This is exactly what I have been looking for. I do not have a gall bladder and struggled with constipation, this solved my problems! I will be reordering this!

Ok... back story is this. Gallbladder was removed over 2 years ago. The one thing I’ve struggled with is pain in that area - off and on and to varying degrees. A year or so ago I took serrapeptase and it worked miraculously. Seriously try that for any scar tissue pain you may have! My sinuses cleared and all my scar tissue pain from the surgery was completely gone. However it did come back. Hello COVID-19!!! I began drinking everyday and therefore eating unhealthy and putting on the pounds. My gallbladder area started screaming at me and my bowel movements were getting worse and more frequent. I went on a low calorie diet and stopped drinking as much. I was losing weight but the pain lingered - which lead me to internet searches and this product. I was convinced it was a cure all and just what I needed - but also knew to go slow. I started with just 1 pill with a meal that had fat. It didn’t seem to bother me and the pain did seem milder. So I upped it to 2 pills for heavier meals, like dinner, that also had more fat content. Then all the trouble started. I began getting horrible indigestion! My chest was tight and my back hurt. And I felt like I had a ROCK in my stomach. I was hurting worse than before I started taking it. I was belching with my morning coffee and I hadn’t taken a pill since the previous day at dinner. I am still fairly young - 33 years old and only about 15 pounds over weight. I don’t think this product is for me right now. I may need it in the future and I would be willing to try it again. But for now - its only causing more damage.

This is my review of the Ox Bile 125mg tablets. So I decided to give these tablets a try after researching alot. I had my gallbladder removed a few years ago and have suffered ever since then with all kinds of Intestinal Bloating, Diarreha and Gas. I thought that I would never find a cure! Well let me tell you that this stuff is amazing and has changed my life! In just a few short days I am already seeing such a big difference when I eat food. No more tire under my ribs like I have had for the past 5 years! All of the Gas & bloating have gone away. Now I am currently taking 2 a day and will in a week try the third dose. What this does for you is give you the extra bile you need to help break down the fats that you eat so your body can use them for energy. Thus helping your body to burn fuel more efficiently. I am hoping I will see a differance in my weight too. But I will have to wait and see if that helps with that. I would highly recommend anyone that has had their Gallbladder removed and is having issues with digestion get this product and start it right away!
