Left Side Abdominal Pain Under Ribs - Causes & Remedies Covered by Dr. Berg

[@maddantt7757]

I think I want to cry with relief right now. i went through a full battery of tests for a year; cardio, pulmonary, urinary, the whole deal, CAT scan, I even had an MRI - and they couldn't find what was causing this pain. Recently I changed my dietary habits (low carb/keto/intermittent fasting) and the issue has mostly abated in less than 2 months. Now I see this video and it all comes together. THIS is the explanation that they could not find. I thank you with my entire heart, Dr. Berg!

[@ronbo30]

Good for you!

[@love101a3]

What is keto

[@GoodNight-qe8rq]

Did the pain come every time you ate? I had that. Once I started exercising and eating less it went away. Blood pressure also went down from mid to high 140's to low 120's/high 110's.

THANK YOU! i have suffered from extreme chest pain for over 2 months - doctors said its muscle damage. I have had digestive issues for years now just to be told its all in my head. I have finally done food sensitivity test, dropped everything gluten, diary, nuts etc and massaged plus done streches for costochondrisis. My chest pain has reduced by 50% within 2-3days. Then i was able to pinpoint where the acute pain is coming from gallbladder, pancreas and spleen, and potentially liver. Went to doctor, he pressed on all of the organs that i was crying myself to sleep for whole day. After yhe useless appointment i then watched this video, started to implement the rest together with taking probiotics, a lot fruits, freshly squeezed juices, intermedient fasting (as it was very painful when eating). 2 weeks later i am sooo much better! In fact, i struggled to gain weight for years, my fiance was forckng me to eat but i was too full. With the bloating gone, i not only finish whats on my plate, but im still hungry. My bile salts are on the way.

I have went to the ER twice with this symptom of left sided pain, directly under my rib cage and they ran ultrasounds and scans but found nothing wrong with me. Blood test for lipase were normal. I was in so much pain the last time they gave me pain meds. My Uncle and Grandmother both died of pancreatic cancer. This information scares me because they both had similar symptoms to mine prior to their diagnosis. I have been keto for almost 3 years now. I do not take bile salts, so I will be looking into that to see if it helps with this condition. Thank you for posting such great content Dr. Berg. I truly appreciate you.

Great drawing by Dr Berg!! The best way to improve this situation is to increase your bile. There are several ways to increase your bile: 1. Lower your carbs 2. Fast 3. Lower your grains 4. Cut out vegetable oils 5. Cut out nut butters 6. Cut out alcohol 7. Stay away from corn 8. Take purified bile salts on an empty stomach (AM and PM)

I found it helps with my constipation and I have pain left side. I started dandelion tea with ginger. I’m still in pain but the constipation has got so much better. I’ve also added many vitamins including probiotics. I really have raised eating Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, vitamin b, magnesium, collagen, fish oil, digestive enzymes. My pain still there but less frequent and I put it down to now cause I’m going to toilet more. My next step is definitely having a soup diet for a month to see if that assists. I’ve also heard that beet root vitamin helps alot also. Unsure yet to try

Update fellow fighters - Dr treated me for Ulcers, was on two antibiotics. Most of the pain subsided but still had occasional flareups- Did a stool test to check for IBS, results came, not Inflammatory Bowl Disease, but irritable Bowl syndrome. I went on a low FODMAP diet, cut out caffeine, alcohol, lactose and gluten and processed food. I have never felt better in my life. I am now on treatment for PCOS and I tell you, slowly shedding pounds, feeling energized, and healthy. I occasionally cheat and immediately feel discomfort. I hope this is helpful to anyone. Help is out there, hang in there, it is glorious on the other side of the pain.

The epiphany for me was taking the Dr. Berg's Gallbladder Formula Extra Strength. It must be taking care of my bile sludge and build up of tiny crystals in my pancreas (that my doctors didn'teven know about after zillions of tests (blood, urine, stool, and imaging)!

How to pass a painful gall stone/sludge. Several times per day, take 2 -3 Tablespoons of olive oil followed with the juice of a lemon (straight). Spend time laying on the left side to allow the gall duct to drain. Its painful to pass but when it moves WOW what a good feeling! Ive personally used this remedy successfully. I used the 2TBS doses simply because I couldn't get the 3rd TBS down. Olive oil overspreads your throat and feels like it's running up your nose. So I did 2 Tablespoons. Gallstones cause right side pain at lower ribcage.

Well well I thank you kindly for a tip I heard in this that I hope will change everything around in my health! Bile salts need to be taken on EMPTY STOMACH not with the fatty meals. Now this makes very good sense! I have been practicing all aspects of this videos advice except that little part I never knew, to take bile separately from food. Great advice Dr Berg I think this has been the missing piece! You are the BEST!!! 🌹

So glad I found you. I’ve had these pains, on both sides, sometimes alternating and thought it was just muscle aches. Through lockdown my staple snack has been salted peanuts and I love skippy on toast! Btw, I’ve been making my own bread a lot through lockdown with strong white bread flour. Probably why these aches have been so much worse the last year. Had them for about 9 years. Changes about to be made. Thank you.

I had exactly that type of pain in that area, which became increasing bad and very very painful over a period of about 6 months. I had a battery of tests: it was diagnosed as a splenic flexure caused by certain foods I was eating; the main culprit was cooked vegetables. I was advised to not eat many vegetables, pulses, spicy foods. It completely cleared up.

What should one do if they had the gallbladder removed to prevent issues like pancreatitis? Would it require daily bile salts?

[@finisher3x]

Gallbladder removal does not prevent pancreatitis. I don't have mine, and I was really feeling this pain in a severe way about 4 weeks ago. Changed up my diet, and the pain is less frequent and not as long lasting. I haven't tried taking the bile salts, so that will be the next thing I take.

I swear I've had pain on both sides like that since I was in my teens. Went to the emergency room at least twice back then (80's); best they could do was give me muscle relaxer and send me home to be in misery until I vomited, then take 1-2 weeks recovering. After a few years they suggested a high fiber diet and keeping muscle relaxers with me for emergencies. I have no idea how much damage is done but I'm trying to follow Dr. Berg now.

I am soooo thankful I found you Dr Berg!! I have had a bulge below my diaphram which is in the middle and to the left. I had an ultrasound done on my upper gi organs and radiologists and GI Doctor said they were normal. The GI Dr even mentioned my pancreas looks really great. But I have always felt like things weren't moving correctly thru that area, like I had a blockage/backup which caused this bulge. I have been changing my diet recently due to other videos of yours and added the bile salt this week. But, today I found this video and am really going to implement everything in this video. Next week I see a new GI Dr and will let him know these findings. Thank you much. If you can add anything I'd be so grateful. 💕

I love your videos and often find answers! I had X-rays a few days ago after seeing my NP for severe left pain under my ribs! I had been blowing it off as the Costochronditis I have suffered with for the last two years but “no” that wasn’t it! The NP said my spleen felt hard and enlarged! She was concerned because after prodding there I had intense pain for hours! I had X-rays that day and hope to call tomorrow to see what the next step is! I have no gallbladder anymore so that is not involved! Miserable and extremely fatigued. I can’t eat much without nausea and/or vomiting food up! I let this go too long I fear! But with Fibromyalgia, and an Afib problem and trouble with costochronditis I hate to sound like a hypochondriac so I often hesitate! I will come back to comment when I know more but it’s not gallbladder... maybe because of a lack of one? It’s painful and I can’t rest!
