Gallbladder attacks more frequent

August 19, 2004

Hi, I'm fairly new to this group, but I've been reading and studying

the liver/gallstone section of curezone for about 3 years now. About

10 years ago I had my first gallbladder attack. It was very mild,

now that I think about it. It went away, and I didn't have anymore

problems for another 3 years. Three children later, gradually, I had

more and more. Until now, I've been able to handle the pain. I've

done 3 cleanses. The first was very productive. I passes hundreds

of green (jelly bean-type) stones. I didn't experience any relief

though in the attacks, so I did the cleanse two more times, but with

no results. I am now to the point where I wake up in the middle of

the night having an attack (mildly severe) and it lasts throughout

the next day. As I speak my chest is very " tight " , my back hurts,

and I'm nauseated. I've been drinking apple juice all morning, but

no relief as of yet.

To make matters worse, it is very possible that I am pregnant. At

one point I did see a dr. that had me do an ultrasound. Sure enough,

I have gallstones. I asked her about the drug ursodial, but she was

very rude about it and said that it wouldn't work.

So, I'd like to know if there are herbs I can take during pregnancy

to encourage the stones to pass or dissolve. Also, are epsom salts

safe during pregnancy? If anyone can help I would be grateful.
