In the future - stones?
– When diagnosing cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), various research methods are used. Which ones are more informative?
– Is the wall of the bladder thickened due to inflammation, are there kinks, constrictions, deformation, impaired motor activity, the presence of stones - all this can be revealed by ultrasound. If necessary, duodenal intubation is used to assess the motor function of the gallbladder and its sphincter and to conduct a biochemical study of the collected bile. In difficult cases, computed tomography is used.
– If there is cholecystitis, will gallstone disease inevitably develop over time?
– The formation of stones is primarily caused by disturbances in the motor activity of the gallbladder, leading to stagnation of bile, as well as infection, disruption of the secretion of cholesterol, bile acids, and phospholipids by the liver. But 85-90% of stones that form in the gallbladder are cholesterol.
To prevent bile stagnation, you need to move more, eat 5-6 times a day at the same time. This is important: every meal stimulates the secretion of bile.
Diet No. 5 is recommended, including dairy and plant products, vegetarian soups - vegetable, cereal, lean meat and poultry dishes, vegetable oil. You should limit foods rich in cholesterol. You will have to give up rich broths (meat, chicken, fish, mushroom), fatty meats, poultry and fish, and lard. Fried, smoked, rich, spicy, seasonings and spices will have to be excluded, alcohol too.
Choice for cholecystitis
In case of diseases of the gallbladder, the secretion of bile is disrupted and in order to normalize its production, alkaline water should be included in the diet, which is recommended to be consumed in order to prevent exacerbation of the disease. But what kind of water should you choose? Alkaline waters have a significant difference in chemical composition, which determines the healing qualities and taste of the mineral water. When choosing water, it is extremely important to find one suitable for your body, otherwise you can provoke an exacerbation of the disease, in which any mineral water is contraindicated.
"Borjomi"
Rich in vitamins and minerals, Borjomi healing water has the ability to relieve spasms and reduce inflammation, while alleviating the patient’s condition. In addition, the water described is capable of removing toxins from the body and stimulating the outflow of internal juices. Borjomi should be drunk only warm, since cold water increases pain, and hot water irritates the affected organ. Contraindications are low stomach acidity and gallstones.
"Essentuki"
Before use, you should consult your doctor.
Another popular type is sodium chloride mineral water called “Essentuki”. It contains organic substances, trace elements and gases that can increase the level of hemoglobin in the blood. If a patient is diagnosed with cholecystitis, then, despite the high usefulness of this mineral water, the relevance of its use in this disease should be determined exclusively by a specialist. It is worth considering that when cooled, this water will act like regular water in pipes.
Other types
In addition to the healing waters described above, there are many more types, the following are considered popular:
- "Mirgorodskaya". It belongs to the group of sodium chloride waters and is used as a table water for daily use. Drinking this mineral water is recommended for liver problems, colitis, metabolic disorders and bile duct diseases.
- "Glade font." It is hydrocarbonate water containing fluoride. It has great benefits for the affected gallbladder, helps lower cholesterol levels in the blood and takes an active part in the fight against excess weight.
- "Luzhanskaya". This water is hydrocarbonate and contains fluorine and silicic acid. Used to treat diseases of the digestive system and liver, but is not recommended for low acidity and decreased levels of thyroid hormone.
- "Shayanskaya". The unique water, which is naturally carbonated, is hydrocarbonate and is widely used for liver and stomach diseases, and for hangover syndrome.
- "Zbruchanskaya". Rich in active components such as magnesium, chlorine, iron and calcium, therefore it is widely used to heal ailments of the bile duct and kidneys.
- "Bukovinskaya". Alkaline water with a high iodine content is recommended for use for diseases of the biliary tract, inflammation of the colon and liver diseases, but is contraindicated for inflammation of the joints, gout and severe headaches.
Broths – to eat or not to eat?
– Do you need to limit yourself constantly, or at least sometimes you can allow yourself something tasty?
– You will have to stick to the diet constantly, nothing can be done about it, but during the period of remission (improvement) it can be expanded a little. Fatty, smoked, and spicy foods remain prohibited, but you can afford boiled and then slightly fried meat and baked goods made from poor dough.
– The doctor does not advise some people with chronic cholecystitis to eat sour cream, butter, eggs, while others, on the contrary, advise them. Why is this happening?
– Dietary recommendations may vary depending on whether the tone and motility of the gallbladder are decreased or increased. In the first case, i.e., with hypomotor dyskinesia of the gallbladder, products are recommended that promote its contraction - soft-boiled eggs, sour cream, cream, weak meat or fish broths, oil, especially vegetable oil. In the second case, with hypermotor dyskinesia, on the contrary, all of the listed products must be limited.

About herbs and waters
– Is it possible to do without medications in the initial stage of cholecystitis, with the help of diet and herbal medicine alone?
– Diet and herbal medicine in many cases help to improve well-being. Immortelle flowers, corn silk, peppermint leaves, dill seeds, rose hips, and barberry root have a choleretic effect. They can be used individually or in a mixture in a 1:1 ratio. 1 tbsp. Pour a glass of boiling water over a spoonful of crushed raw materials, let it brew, squeeze, strain and take 1/3 glass warm 3-4 times a day.
Pharmacies sell immortelle extract in tablets; it is prescribed 1-2 tablets 3 times a day, half an hour before meals. Another natural preparation, Cholasas, is made from rose hips. It should be taken 1-2 tbsp. spoons 3 times a day, can be dissolved in 1/2 glass of warm water. All of the herbal preparations listed should be taken half an hour before meals. The course of treatment is 3-4 weeks. For hypomotor dyskinesia, tubazhi can be done.
– What mineral waters are good to drink for cholecystitis?
– Healing mineral waters stimulate the formation and secretion of bile. For cholecystitis, waters such as “Essentuki” No. 4 and No. 17, “Smirnovskaya”, “Slavyanovskaya”, “Narzan sulfate” (Kislovodsk) and others are recommended. They should be drunk warm 3 times a day 1-1.5 hours before meals for 14-21 days. It is not recommended to drink mineral water during an exacerbation, but during remission it is highly advisable.
During the period of remission, it is good to go to the resorts of the Caucasian Mineral Waters (Essentuki, Zheleznovodsk).
Features of taking mineral water
To successfully treat cholecystitis, you must follow some rules:
- It is important to follow a diet and daily routine when treating at home. This will help create conditions closer to those of a resort or dispensary and increase the effectiveness of treatment.
- If the secretory function of the stomach is reduced or normal, then drink water half an hour before meals; if it is increased, drink water an hour and a half after.
- You need to drink it warm - this helps relieve cramps.
- In case of acute cholecystitis, non-carbonated mineral water is drunk from the first days; in this case, it is diluted in half with boiled water.
It is not forbidden to give birth
– How to alleviate the condition during an attack of cholecystitis, what medications to take?
– The attack is usually manifested by acute pain in the right hypochondrium (pain can radiate to the right shoulder blade, right shoulder, neck), nausea, and a feeling of bitterness in the mouth. You can take 1-2 tablets of no-shpa or papaverine. If within an hour the pain does not subside, but increases, it is necessary to call an ambulance. An attack associated with cholecystitis can be alleviated by a heating pad, but it is better not to use it until the cause of the attack is determined precisely, since acute pain in the right hypochondrium can be caused by for example, acute appendicitis, and in this condition heat, on the contrary, is contraindicated.
– Many women suffering from chronic cholecystitis are concerned about the question: is it possible to avoid exacerbation during pregnancy?
– As a rule, this disease does not serve as an obstacle to the onset or continuation of pregnancy. I will say more: even after operations to remove the gallbladder, you can safely carry and give birth to a child. If you undergo a course of preventive treatment before pregnancy, are under the supervision of a doctor and follow all recommendations during pregnancy, exacerbation of the disease can certainly be avoided.

By the way
How to make tubage
Tubage improves the contractile function of the gallbladder and stimulates bile secretion, but it cannot be done without a doctor’s prescription. In case of cholelithiasis, for example, this procedure can cause a sharp deterioration.
It’s better to set aside a day off for tubing so you can rest later. In the evening, uncork a bottle of mineral water - “Smirnovskaya”, “Slavyanovskaya”, “Essentuki” No. 4 or No. 17. In the morning on an empty stomach, drink 200 ml of warm mineral water in one go, then within 10-15 minutes - another 200-300 ml and Lie on your right side, applying a heating pad to your right hypochondrium. Stay in this position for 2-3 hours.
For hypomotor dyskinesia, stronger choleretic agents are prescribed. Dissolve half a tablespoon of Epsom salt (magnesia) or a tablespoon of sorbitol or xylitol in half a glass of warm water (regular or mineral - without gas) and drink in small sips. Then lie down for 2-3 hours on your right side with a heating pad.
After tubing, it is recommended to stay in bed for 40 minutes.
On the day of the procedure, many people have loose stools - this is a normal reaction of the body, indicating the effectiveness of the tube.
The course of treatment is usually 7-10 tubes at weekly intervals. After this, your health usually improves, and the dull aching pain disappears. Then you can take a break for several months, and if a feeling of discomfort appears in the right hypochondrium, perform another 1-2 tubes.
Research on the effects of Donat Mg water on the body with such a disease as cholecystitis
Our scientists conducted research on the effectiveness of taking mineral water among patients with cholecystitis. The results of studies of course intake of Donat Mg water by patients with cholecystitis are as follows: patients experienced a decrease in cholesterol in the blood, and the concentration of bile acids in bile (different portions) increased by an average of 15-25 percent. Also, in patients tested with cholecystitis, while taking Donat Mg, blood dyslipidemia significantly decreases, and the activity of liver transaminases decreases by 30-40 percent. Also, as a result of research, it was found that blood pressure drops by 5-7 millimeters of mercury. Due to the use of Donat Mg in patients with cholecystitis, as a rule, the clinical manifestations of chronic cholecystitis are significantly reduced, and the biochemistry of bile is improved. During the research, it was revealed that in all subjects with cholecystitis, after several regular doses of mineral water, cases of deterioration in their general condition almost completely disappeared.
During treatment with mineral water, the composition of bile changes noticeably. That is, in portions of bile “B” and “C” the cholesterol level decreases by 25-38 percent. The cholesterol-cholesterol index increases 2-3 times due to course intake of water by patients with cholecystitis, due to doubling the concentration of bile acids. Thus, the treatment of cholecystitis, as well as chronic pancreatitis, with Donat Mg water promotes such changes in the human body suffering from cholecystitis - the gallbladder is emptied on time, the sphincter at the exit of the bile canal relaxes, regeneration of liver cells occurs, the composition of bile significantly improves, the quality of blood circulation in the liver, as well as in the pancreas. As a result of such changes, cholecystitis recedes.
Studies among patients diagnosed with cholecystitis have also shown that with regular use of Donat Mg, the amount of bile increases by 10-15 milliliters, its release is delayed by a couple of minutes. Thus, in patients with varying degrees of cholecystitis, the contractile function of the gallbladder increases by 20-24 percent. Our studies have shown significant positive changes also at the organismal level of patients diagnosed with cholecystitis, such as a decrease in lipid levels (minus 15-17%) and cholesterol (minus 26-29%), as well as blood pressure (minus 8-10 mm . Hg). If we calculate in points the subjective state of a patient with cholecystitis during treatment with mineral water, we can say that the number of points has decreased by 2.5 - 3 times.
Authorized Products
The diet for gallstone disease includes foods rich in pectins and lipotropic substances.
Pectins have an enveloping and anti-inflammatory effect, bind toxins and remove them from the body, and are a food substrate for normal intestinal microflora.
Lipotropic substances dilute bile, remove fats from the liver, prevent the deposition of cholesterol in blood vessels and remove excess cholesterol from the body.
In addition, therapeutic nutrition for gallstones should be rich in fiber, which stimulates intestinal motility and prevents constipation, and therefore intoxication of the body.
Also, for cholelithiasis, foods high in magnesium are useful; it relieves spasms of the gallbladder and biliary tract, has an anti-inflammatory effect and normalizes intestinal motility.
