The Story

I’ve always been a fan of Dr. Sabine Maßinger. Not only is she skilled and friendly, but also open to complementary medicine. For this reason, I visited her many times in the past when I had the feeling that “conventional medicine” alone was not enough. She was also the one who suspected I had gallstones in 2016 based on a blood test, although I was not suffering from any pain at the time. She was right: three months later I found myself at my GP’s surgery with severe pain in my upper abdomen. Diagnosis: gallstones, followed by surgery six months later.

The Journey

I tried to promote the elimination of the gallstones through special diets, but in the end the operation was unavoidable. After the operation I didn't feel well at all; I had digestive problems. Even a month later, my digestion just couldn’t get going. I needed help and went to see Dr. Maßinger, who recommended Mucosa Formula®. I used these for about 2-3 months, one capsule twice a day. The micronutrients they contain brought my digestion back into balance quickly and naturally. I was thrilled. The micronutrient therapy was exactly what my body needed at that moment — I could feel it.

The Success

I’ve found my personal anchor in Dr. Sabine Maßinger, and the Biogena products she recommended to me. After the operation, I took Mucosa Formula® for about three months before stopping. I was symptom-free for half a year before pain returned in the gall bladder area of my upper abdomen. Taking the Mucosa Formula® led to freedom from symptoms again after only two weeks. As a big fan of complementary medicine, I know I’ve taken the right path and feel good about supporting my body with micronutrients and plant extracts.

Lifestyle Changes

Avoid foods that are high in fat. Meat products should also be greatly reduced or eliminated from the diet. Cabbages, pulses and fried foods should also be reduced. Basically, all rich and intense foods (cured, strongly spiced, very sour, very sweet, very spicy, smoked) should be avoided and preference given to mildly spiced dishes. Alcohol is broken down via the liver and is considered an irritant with colic potential. Those with gallstones small enough to travel in the system should avoid coffee as it can trigger colic.

Health Management Plan

The Scientific Assessment

By Dr. Sabine Maßinger

After situations of particular stress involving increased intake of medication, it is important to support the intestines. Antibiotics, but also other drugs, can damage the intestinal flora as well as the intestinal mucosa. Micronutrients to support the intestinal mucosa and plant substances such as camomile extract, which support detoxification, are a great help in these cases. Camomile also has an antispasmodic and relaxing effect on the muscles of the bile ducts. In this way, it supports the body in excreting the foreign substances.
