Gallbladder removed 25 years ago. Keto since May 2018 down 135 lbs. no problems, but I have friends who swear “Ox Bial” really helps them with gall bladder issues and Keto.  

Answer 7

It actually had a good effect on me! I used to have so many GI issues but I've really become "regular". Many of the healthy fats do not require the same bile as the unhealthy fats. I was consuming WAY more bad fats prior to starting keto anyways! So either way, this is a reduction.
