Colleen K: Op eventually.

[Guest guest]

>>>After almost a year and a half of flushing, supplements, dietary changes

etc., I was able to shrink the stone from 2.3 cm to 2.2 cm. Not exactly the

result I was hoping for, lol. I finally had to have the gallbladder removed last

August. I think I was caught in a Catch-22 situation. By the time the clueless

doctors finally diagnosed me (after several years of attempting to get a

diagnosis, from several different doctors, none of whom could figure out what

was wrong with me) the gallstone was large enough to cause thickening and

inflammation in the gallbladder. The gallbladder was possibly too diseased to

contract enough to push out that large a stone during a flush, and I just could

not otherwise get the stone to shrink quickly enough to help the gallbladder to

recover. The good news is, however, that it did not get bigger! and it even

managed to shrink .1 of a cm! :-) So these protocols do work.<<<

Hi Colleen!

We also Home educate our children. We have 6 and one on the way ))

I was wondering if when you had a minute you would mind outlining the regime you

followed in your " year and a half of flushing, supplements, dietary changes

etc. " I'm fortunate that I haven't had a major attack since June 2002 and only 3

mild atttacks since then - the last two in early pregnancy 4w and about 13w I

think \ (I am currently 32w) but I'm always looking for pointers on what more

I can do, or what might not work, so your experience would be very valuable to

consider.

What was it that finally convinced you to have the op? Thanks in advance! ))

Blessings
