BILE FLOW: The Missing link in Detoxification

Detoxification is a complex, multi-step process that moves toxins out of cells, into the liver and gallbladder and out of the body via the digestive tract and kidneys. For decades, detoxification protocols have primarily addressed the intestine and kidneys, overlooking the critical role of the gallbladder and bile flow in facilitating successful detoxification. Bile is a fluid produced in the liver and secreted by the gallbladder that both aids in the digestion of dietary fats and transports toxins into the intestine so they can be excreted from the body. Bile is comprised of bile acids, salts, phospholipids, cholesterol, and water. Fascinating research indicates that the cellular transporters that move bile acids and salts in and out of the intestine also transport toxins. Therefore, sluggish bile flow, also known as cholestasis, slows toxin efflux and impedes successful detoxification. Various factors contribute to cholestasis, including gallstones, biliary disease, chronic liver disease, certain medications, excess estrogen, and endotoxin, also known as lipopolysaccharide or LPS.

In addition to having a direct negative impact on detoxification, poor bile flow contributes to gastrointestinal dysbiosis and conditions such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Insufficient bile flow may also promote the formation of intestinal biofilm, a consortium of microorganisms embedded in a sticky matrix that allows pathogens to evade antibiotics and the immune system, enhancing their infectivity. Dysbiosis, SIBO, and intestinal biofilm exert negative feedback on detoxification by increasing LPS and inflammatory cytokines, creating a vicious cycle of bile stagnation and GI distress.
