Summary: <p>Today I’m going to reveal how problems with the gallbladder could be related to the thyroid.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Bile contains bile salts, lecithin, bilirubin, protein, and cholesterol. If a person has too much cholesterol and not enough bile salts, they could develop gallstones. </p> <p><br></p> <p>However, cholesterol is necessary to help you make bile, hormones, and vitamin D. The body makes the majority of cholesterol in the body. </p> <p><br></p> <p>The liver makes bile. Bile helps eliminate excess cholesterol and certain toxins. It also helps break down fats and supports the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and fatty acids. </p> <p><br></p> <p>A person with hypothyroidism or a subclinical hyperthyroid issue has an increased risk of gallstones. Many different connections cause this increased risk, but overall, it takes a healthy thyroid to make enough bile and bile to create a healthy thyroid. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Ultimately, I believe a lack of fat and cholesterol in the diet can increase your risk of gallstones and hypothyroidism from multiple angles.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The Healthy Keto® diet can help supply the fats and important vitamins and minerals your body needs.
