What are gallstones?
Gallstones form when bile stored in the gallbladder hardens into stone-like material. Too much cholesterol, bile salts, or bilirubin (bile pigment) can cause gallstones.
When gallstones are present in the gallbladder itself, it is called cholelithiasis. When gallstones are present in the bile ducts, it is called choledocholithiasis. Gallstones that obstruct bile ducts can lead to a severe or life-threatening infection of the bile ducts, pancreas, or liver. Bile ducts can also be obstructed by cancer or trauma, but this is not related to gallstones.
What causes gallstones?
Cholesterol stones are believed to form when bile contains too much cholesterol, too much bilirubin, not enough bile salts, or when the gallbladder does not empty as it should for some other reason.
Pigment stones tend to develop in people who have cirrhosis, biliary tract infections, and hereditary blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia. The causes of these stones are uncertain.
What are the symptoms of gallstones?
At first, most gallstones do not cause symptoms. However, when gallstones become larger, or when they begin obstructing bile ducts, symptoms or “attacks” begin to occur. Attacks of gallstones usually occur after a fatty meal and at night. The following are the most common symptoms of gallstones. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- Steady, severe pain in the upper abdomen that increases rapidly and may last from 30 minutes to several hours
- Pain in the back between the shoulder blades
- Pain in the right shoulder
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Fever
- Chills
- Jaundice. A yellowing of the skin or eyes.
- Abdominal bloating
- Intolerance of fatty foods
- Belching or gas
- Indigestion
People who experience the following symptoms should consult their doctor immediately:
- Sweating
- Chills
- Low-grade fever
- Yellowish color of the skin or whites of the eyes
- Clay-colored stools
Some people with gallstones do not have any symptoms. These stones are called “silent stones,” because they do not interfere with the function of the gallbladder, liver, or pancreas, and do not require treatment in most cases.
The symptoms of gallstones may resemble other conditions or medical problems, such as heart attack, appendicitis, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, hiatal hernia, pancreatitis, or hepatitis. Always consult your health care provider for a diagnosis.

How to Pass Gallstones Naturally
If you’re looking for a natural way to pass gallstones, then learn about our product, YIDAN Formula, below.
Formulated by Chinese master herbalists to dissolve gallstones and manufactured under strict GMP regulations. An estimated twenty million Americans have gallbladder problems and approximately 750,000 of them will have their gallbladder removed this year.
This dietary supplement is used in China to support dissolving and cleansing of gall and kidney stones. It also supports cleansing damp-heat and toxic heat in the liver and gallbladder, and harmonizes the middle burner. Chinese master herbalists developed this product specifically to help support dissolving acute and chronic gall and kidney stones.*
Be wary of new products that have appeared on the market recently, such as liquid products. Many customers come to us saying that these did not work for them. The fact that they are liquid, it goes so rapidly through the system and out, that there is no chance for them to have an effect on the stones. This is why we use tablets for our YIDAN Formula, it dissolves slowly, therefore works on the stones for much longer time to dissolve them. Many others have common ingredients that are far from effective and may waste valuable time.
The YIDAN Formula, with its unique proprietary formula was introduced to the U.S. by NaturalyPure over 9 years ago and since has a proven record with naturopathic doctors and chiropractors who continuously recommend it.
