Gallstones disappearing in pregnant women

November 25, 2004

Here's a study that actually shows that gallstones can disappear in

pregnant women after a pregnancy. The study does say that this was a

small sample size, but it can happen.

This looks like a legitimate study from a traditional source! This

study does take place in Italy, but since the type of gallstones in

Italy and the US occur at roughly the same rates(as opposed to Asia,

which has different percentatages of cholesterol stones and other

stones) I think this is worth reading.

For those of you that don't know, CI means confidence interval. It's

a statistical term which tells us what the percentages would be in

the general population. The larger the study, the smaller the range

of the confidence interval.
