Overview

This video discusses how to determine if you have improved your bile flow. The speaker explains that while there's no single definitive test, several signs and symptoms can indicate positive changes. These include improvements in stool color and consistency, saliva pH, reduction in nausea, clearer skin, less gallbladder pain, and changes in blood pressure. The video also mentions using urinalysis dipsticks to detect bilirubin and urobilinogen as potential indicators of significant bile flow issues.

Key takeaways

• No Definitive Test: There isn't one single test to definitively know if bile flow is correct, but improvements can be inferred from various bodily signals.
• Urinalysis Dipsticks: 10-parameter urinalysis dipsticks can show bilirubin and urobilinogen, which may indicate significant bile flow problems. Improvement is seen when these markers disappear.
• Stool Color and Consistency: A shift from light-colored stool (like corrugated cardboard) to darker, "forest floor" colored stool is a good sign. Similarly, a transition from loose stools to more formed ones indicates improvement.
• Saliva pH and Nausea: An increase in saliva pH (above 6.5) after meals and a reduction in nausea, particularly after consuming fatty foods, suggest better bile flow for fat emulsification.
• Other Indicators: Improvements can also manifest as reduced gallbladder pain, fewer chemical sensitivities, clearer skin, weight loss, a feeling of being "lighter," and normalization of blood pressure (either rising from low or falling from high).
• Gas and Detoxification: An initial increase in foul-smelling gas can be a sign that backed-up toxins are starting to move, indicating that bile flow is improving.
