This happens when bile contains excessive cholesterol and there is a lack of bile salts inside the gall bladder. Incomplete and infrequent emptying of the gallbladder as well as the presence of proteins in the liver and bile are one of the major causes of the formation of the stones.
Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D. shared some tips on how to prevent gallstone formation:

* Take Vitamin C and curcumin daily.

* Increase your calcium intake daily. Calcium helps bind bile acids. Limit it to 500-600 mg daily consumption.
