  Hi B and Daniel,

  Could chicory “coffee” work as a bitter and promote sluggish bile. See attached photo

  Hi  – I’ve never recommended chicory in this form as a digestive bitter, but technically, anything bitter to the taste can help stimulate bile flow. Does this taste bitter?

  Here’s a post I did on digestive bitters which includes supplements and foods to incorporate before/with meals.

  Hi B.,

  Never tried it. I thought I’d run it pass you first.

  D limonene is there but thought I’d try this.

  I mean D limonene to help with the sluggish bile.

   d-limonone helps break up congestion. It’s not pushing bile flow. Polyphenols, digestive bitters, artichoke, etc help stimulate emptying of the gallbladder (i.e. flow). Hope that makes sense.
