My acupuncturist said my pancreas was out of whack... (and my gall bladder) I've been looking for websites on info and getting frustrated with it. Anyone know anything about this, or have a good website to go to? I'm looking for ways to boost their functioning.
Thanks!

I am not sure your accupuncturist knows what he is talking about. The pancreas is the organ which produces insulin so you can absorb and use the food you eat. A pancreas that is "out of whack" would cause diabetes. Your gall bladder is just a holding sack for bile, when you eat, it contracts pushing bile into your digestive tract for breakdown of the food you eat. You don't "boost" the function of these structures, you support their function by eating healthy foods, avoiding simple sugars and fats.

The gall bladder helps break up fat.Sometime they get filled with stones & can be quite painful.I had this problem before but I don't know which was worse,the stones or the post op.OMG it was so awful.
