=== Bile salt supplementation === Supplementing with Bile Salts has been suggested for those with biliary sludge (build up of bile) but not for individuals who have had their [[gallbladder]] removed. Experts at Harvard Health claim that there is no reason to supplement bile salts as long as you have a healthy functioning liver.<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/do-i-need-to-take-bile-salts-after-gallbladder-surgery | title = Do I need to take bile salts after gallbladder surgery? | last = | first = | author-link = | date = | website = | archive-url = | archive-date = |url-status = | access-date=}}</ref> There may be reasons to consider supplementing with bile salts if you have high cholestrol or have problems absorbing fat soluble [[Vitamin|vitamins]] (A,D,E,K). Note that unnecessary supplementation of bile salts has been known to cause [[diarrhea]] - also known as bile acid malabsorption (BAM). BAM is considered to be a major cause of urgency and loose stool in about a thirdof those with [[irritable bowel syndrome]] (IBS).<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.mayoclinic.org/medical-professionals/digestive-diseases/news/identifying-diarrhea-caused-by-bile-acid-malabsorption/mac-20430098 | title = Identifying diarrhea caused by bile acid malabsorption | last = | first = | author-link = | date = | website = [[Mayo clinic]]| archive-url = | archive-date = |url-status = | access-date=2019-04-08}}</ref>
