Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Many of you may feel that stones are formed in the liver and will migrate down to the Gall bladder. It stands to reason that if the liver is not functioning properly, you will have more/worse formation of the stones. This in itself will lead to Gall Bladder attacks. My sister has gone the gammit, trying to solve her GB attacks - using diet, naturopathic herbs, chinese herbs, and now ursidol. She had even been told that she was " fixating " on her gallbladder and needed tranquilizers. Doctors said that to get rid of her problem, she needed to have the GB out. It is amzing at the scare tactics that were utilized in a large metropolis city of Canada! I'd tried to advise her, but could not tell her if it was or was not better for her to have the GB out - I can't see inside of her. BUT She had so many other symptoms unrelated to GB problems (as well as the terrible attacks) - weight loss, anemia, pains in unrelated areas and severe fatigue. To make a long story short, she has been tested by a blood specialist - results show that she has hemachromatosis. It attacks the liver causing cyrrosis. - probably the cause of her GB problems! This disease is not normally diagnosed. It is a separate test and must be ordered by the doctor. She still has her GB and, hopefully, is near the end of a more than 2 year journey of ill health.
