Re: What does having a Gallbladder problem mean?

There is no signature on this, not sure who wrote it? But

am concerned about your diet...you are not eating a fatty diet,

but are you getting good " fat " from good oils...like olive oil,

flax seed oil, etc? I am guessing you are, they are necessary

in general, but also if there is no oil/fat in the diet, there isn't

enough stimulation of the liver and gallbladder to produce

bile, which digests fats and oils, so you end up with a sluggish

liver/gallbladder, and more potential for stones and sludge.

Also, the tenderness you feel when using lecithan is probably

the fact that it is stimulating that area...not necessarily a bad

thing, but a reminder that you have some work to do to restore

the liver/gallbladder.

Generally doctors will tell you to take a low or no fat diet with

gallbladder trouble to keep you from having an attack, but this

is not the best thing for the body, or the liver and gallbladder.

Are you concerned about doing the flush? I am not sure whether

you've posted on this already, but have you had an ultrasound

and seen how large your stones are?

It's amazing what you can pass, I just did my latest flush Sunday

pm and this morning was still passing stones. Since I waited a

year and passed so many, I may do this again in a couple of weeks,

after the holidays. This discussion list really picks up around

this time of year with all the rich holiday eating :-)

Keep on asking questions and learning!

That would be me who wrote the above. I think I do have a

decent balance of fat,protein and carbs in my diet. When I said I

wasn't eating a fatty diet I was referring to the usual " American on

the go, part fast food, lots of fried foods, little in the way of fish

or veggies " sort of diet. But yes, of course I eat fats - just not

fatty fried in vegetable oil type foods.

I thought this was a possibility but was also being advised from a

doctor in law that I should be really careful if I was feeling that

same soreness I had in the aftermath of the recent attack I had - so

afraid I might be making matters worse, I opted to stop any diet

suppliments I had decided to try in my quest to treat my gallstones in

some other way besides removing the gallbladder

Yes I am concerned, and yes my ultrasound says

" multi stones

up to 1cm "
