Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 >>> benefit by drinking apple juice every day...The apple juice will slowly soften the stones<<< Can anyone tell me, Is there an alternative to apple juice to slowly soften the stones? I can take lemon juice in water every morning and 2 teaspoons of flaxseed oil with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice before meals 3x per day no problem but apple juice (anything with sugar) causes bad skin rashes. I am 24w pregnant so it has to be something safe to take in pregnancy. I can't do a flush as it stimulates my uterus too much. I have radically altered my diet in the last few years and was certain that I was doing everything right but I still seem to have stones hindering bile flow. Thanks. Mama.

I think I may be getting the same reaction by using oils in my salad, etc., but there may be an extra benefit having the oil on empty stomach at bedtime. I am wondering, though, about the last day when you take the greater amount of olive oil. It seems it would be good to have a build up of bile to expell the stones, and that drinking something like apple juice for just a day may help in that way? L.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Thank you for your reply Jay ) but my question was 'Is there an alternative to apple juice to slowly soften stones' as apple juice is not an option for me. Also the flush method you recommend is unsuitable for me as I have discovered that for me flushing causes premature labour and fetal distress. So, Is there anyone who is aware of an alternative to apple juice to slowly soften stones that is safe to use in pregnancy (24w)? Does anyone know anything about Malic acid?

Renata--->You might try a bit of apple cider vinegar diluted with alot of water. It could be sweetened with stevia, ( a natural sweetner concentrate made out of a leafy plant.) I have taken apple cider vinegar while pregnant without problems or rash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pleased to hear you say it caused you no rash problems as I had been told about it before but when I checked it out with a naturopath he told me apple cider vinegar would make rashes worse so I didn't try it. I will do so now and see how it goes. Mama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 >>>there are other things to do, like freshly juiced beet juice with carrot juice. Beet juice thins the bile so is great to avoid stones. Also there are other things that are natural and good for the bile and liver...You might be able to take lecithin during pregnancy. Milk thistle is another but I'm not sure that it is okay during pregnancy.<<< Thanks , All my research has shown that Milk thistle is safe in pregnancy and I am currently taking it. I eat a lot of beet already so hopefully that is helping. I'm not sure about Lecithin though, Does anyone know if it is safe in pregnancy?
