Help - gallbladder inflammed for two weeks now!

April 1, 2004

Hello everyone!

Please help me if you can. My gallbladder has been inflamed for over two weeks

now. I have found that the olive oil flushing no longer can work for me because

it just increases the inflammation. My doctor is alarmed at me for not having

it removed. He says it can burst or turn gangrene. I have to admit I am

frightened by those words, yet I have read so many horror stories of the results

of gb removal. Does anyone know how I can save my gb at this point? Am I

beyond the point of no return?

I have cut out all sugar and eat very little to no meat. Actually, I have

increased nausea so I am eating very little of anything! I am trying to eat a

lot of pineapple (fresh) as well as lots of Aloe Vera Juice, both are supposed

to be could for inflammation. And I am taking probiotics and other supplements

(when I am not too nauseated!) Last night my gb swoll up and is still like that

today. But the burning sensation is beginning to diminish since I started the

pineapple and aloe. I am drinking as much water as I can get down. I was

taking cayenne tincture but quit yesterday wondering if this might be

aggravating my problem.

My attacks come more often and more easily now. It only takes a bite of

something too spicey and I will be down the next day with an attack. This

usually occurs where I have an occasion to eat in a restaurant or in someone

else's home where I have no control over the cooking.

I have been wearing castor oil packs daily and find if I don't wear them now, I

am worse off. But even with the packs, I am in pain on my right with nausea,

dizziness, and feelings of fainting at times. I cannot sleep on my left side or

my back because of the swelling. I have even developed something called

bacterial arthritis in my left shoulder. I read that this can result from

inflammation of the gallbladder, lungs or kidneys. Sounds like a lot bacteria

floating around in my body! I am really afraid that my gb will burst. Has

anyone saved their gb from a condition such as mine? If so, please tell me what

you did!

BTW, I am planning to use a clay poultice in my gb tonight. I am just hoping

that this will draw out some of the inflammation and restore me to some better

health. If this isn't a good idea, please tell me.

thanks to everyone,

Dewyeyes
