Bile Duct Congestion

TUDCA is a bile salt uniquely effective at improving bile flow, with results often felt within a few days. TUDCA is a bile salt that improves bile flow and can relieve bile duct congestion, with results often felt within days. Bile duct congestion from sludge is distinct from gallstones — the ducts are partially obstructed but no stone has fully formed. TUDCA is dosed at 2 capsules in the morning and 2 capsules in the afternoon, both taken on an empty stomach. Bile duct congestion is difficult to diagnose via conventional testing and is frequently overlooked. Given the high cost of functional diagnostics, a practical strategy for diagnosing bile duct congestion is to trial TUDCA and observe the response. Bile duct congestion is frequently overlooked because conventional testing is inadequate and functional diagnostics are expensive. Bile sludge is a thickened precursor to gallstones that can partially obstruct bile ducts without a full stone forming. Gallbladder swelling can press on the diaphragm mechanically and irritate the phrenic nerve, both of which impair breathing. Bile duct congestion can irritate the phrenic nerve, which controls diaphragm movement, further impairing bre…
