Bind bile

What do people use to bind excess bile? Especially if you find that the carrot does not work.

Hi,
Do you say you have excess bile because it hurts the stomach walls?
Give details, please?

@LucH How would I know it hurts the stomach walls? Is that a feeling? I know I have pain at my right side, so that is why I think bile or liver is the problem. TUDCA, taurine or glycine does not do much.

@sneedful thank you.

So basically I should try kale, brocolli, brussels sprout. Also cholestyramine seems to be very powerful, but is not an OTC.

@foxgelb said in Bind bile:

How would I know it hurts the stomach walls?

With what you've said, it's not "pain wall" due to thin mucus.
If localized at one point, it could be CaOx (lithiasis).
If you have "eaten" more than 150-200 mg ox per day (carrot salad + ... ), you've overridden your capacity. The liver can only handle 50 mg ox a day.
If so, need for potassium citrate to solubilize the stone.

@LucH first sentence I do not understand. Second, if you think I have kidney stones why say it in greek? On oxalates: I do not think that is an issue for me, I consume little of it, and if I consume I feel ok, seems fine. Lastly, if I was to have a problem with oxalates isn't that related to the kidneys more than liver?

More likely is I have gallstones (cholelithiasis).
