3. Dining Out Without a Gallbladder? Try These 3 Hacks

Dining out shouldn’t feel like a digestive disaster waiting to happen. Whether it’s greasy menus, hidden triggers, or no control over ingredients — I’ve got 3 simple, game-changing strategies to help you eat out with confidence, not consequences.
 
In this episode, I share a story about my student Bree—who used to feel bloated, heavy, and uncomfortable after dinner with friends. But with just 3 practical hacks, she turned it all around. Now, she eats out without the pain, bloat, or regret—and you can too.
 
We’ll dive in biblically, practically, and without the bloat!
 
⸻
 
📖 Key Scripture:
 
1 Corinthians 14:40 (NIV)
“But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.”
 
⸻
 
✅ What You’ll Learn:
 
1. Drink a Large Glass of Water Before Eating
💧 Supports bile flow, hydrates your digestive system, and primes your gut for a smoother meal.
 
2. Sip on Bitters Instead of Soda
🌿 My favorite bitters (gentian, artichoke, dandelion) stimulate natural digestive secretions—unlike soda, which works against your gut.
 
3. Use Black Pepper
🧂 The piperine in black pepper boosts enzyme activity and bile flow, increasing nutrient absorption—crucial after gallbladder removal.
 
⸻
 
💡 Real Results:
 
Bree went from bloated and tired to energized, lighter, and symptom-free—just by applying these three hacks. She even noticed better sleep and reduced inflammation. Simple works when you understand the “why.”
