Guest guest Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Hello everyone....my name is and I am a new member as of today. I have been having gallbladder pain off and on for the past year, not realizing what it was...until last week. I had the worst attack on Sat Night that I ever had that lasted about 7 hours. I had teh ultrasound on Thurs and sure enough, there was the gall stone (or more that haven't showed up). I am not sure on the size yet, but plan to call the doc and find out tomorrow. Anyway, since the ultrasound, I have been extremely uncomfortable (although Sunday through that time wasn't too bad). sometimes pain, but not like an attack. Anyway, on Thurs the doc called in a prescrip for Levaquin (antibiotic) because the gall was inflamed and he wanted to get that under control. The discomfort was such after the poking and prodding of the ultrasound that on Fri he also prescribed Lortab...definitely helped. Well, also on Fri, not wanting surgery if I can avoid it, I turned to the internet looking for alternative ways to see if I could " cleanse " it out. YEA!!! I found lots...all dealing with olive oil and lemon juice and perhaps epsom salts. Okay...here is my question. I have been on the apple juice " fast " since Friday. Just apple juice and water. and I am so uncomfortable with the bloating and haven't had a BM since Thur. SHOULD I STILL GO AHEAD WITH THE FLUSH TOMORROW???? Please oh please answer!! Counting on all of you who have been through this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
