Highlighted claims

• Bile duct congestion from sludge is distinct from gallstones — the ducts are partially obstructed but no stone has fully formed. — The 4 Causes of Air Hunger / Difficulty Breathing (Dyspnea)
• Bile sludge is a thickened precursor to gallstones that can partially obstruct bile ducts without a full stone forming. — The 4 Causes of Air Hunger / Difficulty Breathing (Dyspnea)
• TUDCA is dosed at 2 capsules in the morning and 2 capsules in the afternoon, both taken on an empty stomach. — The 4 Causes of Air Hunger / Difficulty Breathing (Dyspnea)
• When bile flow is obstructed, bile backs up into the liver causing swelling and congestion in the gallbladder region. — The 4 Causes of Air Hunger / Difficulty Breathing (Dyspnea)
• Gallbladder swelling can press on the diaphragm mechanically and irritate the phrenic nerve, both of which impair breathing. — The 4 Causes of Air Hunger / Difficulty Breathing (Dyspnea)
• Bile duct congestion is difficult to diagnose via conventional testing and is frequently overlooked. — The 4 Causes of Air Hunger / Difficulty Breathing (Dyspnea)
• Bile backup from duct congestion causes swelling near the gallbladder, which sits directly adjacent to the diaphragm and can mechanically impair breathing. — The 4 Causes of Air Hunger / Difficulty Breathing (Dyspnea)
• Bile duct congestion can irritate the phrenic nerve, which controls diaphragm movement, further impairing breathing. — The 4 Causes of Air Hunger / Difficulty Breathing (Dyspnea)
• Bile duct congestion is frequently overlooked because conventional testing is inadequate and functional diagnostics are expensive. — The 4 Causes of Air Hunger / Difficulty Breathing (Dyspnea)
• TUDCA is a bile salt that improves bile flow and can relieve bile duct congestion, with results often felt within days. — The 4 Causes of Air Hunger / Difficulty Breathing (Dyspnea)
