Just as coffee is one of the most popular and commonly consumed beverages, gallbladder problems are one of the most prevalent from a certain age.
What happens when a "gallbladder man" is also a "coffee man"?
According to statistics, 10% of men and 20% of women over 55 suffer from gallstones. According to experts, these are caused by poor lifestyle and heredity is also involved. In any case, the group of people who suffer from gallbladder disease and regularly drink coffee must be quite large. Large enough to raise the question of what effect coffee consumption has on gallbladder problems.
COFFEE vs. GALLULAR
You'll be pleased with the results of studies that repeatedly confirm that drinking coffee can reduce the risk of gallstones by more than 20%. But those who are currently in an acute condition and the stones are causing them unpleasant pain may be told by their doctor that they should not drink coffee at this time. As paradoxical as it sounds, the doctor's advice is absolutely correct.
As a preventive measure, coffee is beneficial, but in patients who have developed problems, it can actually make the condition worse.The caffeine in coffee actually causes the gallbladder to contract. And if there is inflammation or stones present, the pain becomes more intense. In a healthy gallbladder, on the other hand, such contractions are desirable, helping the excretion of bile, which is involved in the digestion of food.
Fresh coffee can also benefit the gallbladder indirectly. It is known to help fat loss by stimulating metabolic activity. This undoubtedly reduces the risk of overweight and obesity, both of which are risk factors for the development of gallbladder disease.
So, if we are to answer the question of whether the gallbladder gets along with coffee, then probably as follows...
- A healthy gallbladder gets along with coffee and has been shown to benefit from regular consumption of good quality coffee.
- But if you have gallbladder problems and suffer from gallstones, you should follow your doctor's advice and avoid your favourite drink for the duration of your treatment.
