Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I would guess that most people " feel so good " shortly after having their gallbladder out. The problems may (I say " may " , some folks never see any) begin down the road, especially if they begin to " eat and drink everything again " . That is, if the eating and drinking involves unhealthy foods.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Hi Colleen, I have to agree. I have been 7 years without my gallbladder now. And I have started a fairly aggressive liver cleanse routine because of the thinking I can eat anything I want too. I always had the dreaded diarrhea until I started the cleansing, but it was only right after I ate, so I seemed to just work it into my day. I began to get aching like heart burn and a real tired ache through my right arm around to my mid back and shoulder blade. It just came slowly. But now I finally realized that it is definitely my liver. It took me 6 years to get up the nerve to do something about it. The area over my liver became extremely hard. I didn't know this was not right. But since my series of liver flushes since last year coupled with the Master Cleanse routine I now notice an incredible difference over my liver it is not hard like it used to be.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Dear G, Glad things are improving for you. That's always hopeful to hear! I need to get around to doing my first flush since having my gb out. Between homeschooling and running " Mom's taxi service " (we live in a rural area so anyplace we need to go requires long periods in the car <sigh>), I haven't quite gotten to it yet. But I'm getting closer :-) .
