I just found this group a few minutes ago and haven't had a chance to

review messages yet. I had my first and only gallbladder attack last

March 12. Was in the hospital over night and had all kinds of tests

that showed I had innumerable stones. My doctor wanted me to have

surgery but I refused because I wanted to study this situation first.

Since then, I have done 3 flushes and started passing stones every

day for many months. Now I only pass them a few times a week.

However, I had another sonogram and it shows that I still am loaded

with stones. This puzzles me as I don't know how I could have passed

so many and still have so many. I have not been in any pain since the

day of the attack. My confusion now rests in what to eat. I've read

that I should not eat meat or eggs, no fried foods, but I'm also

reading that I should not eat wheat or corn products. So what does

that leave - fruits and vegetables? Is there a gallbladder diet

published anywhere? Thanks for any information. (Oh, I'm a 68 year

old female if that makes any difference.)

Another question is that the stones I've been passing are usually

yellow in color with white speckles. A few have been green. Most

have been the size of hominy and corn but a few were 1/2 inch long and

two were 3/4 inch long. My doctor said they were not stones, but my

N.D. says they are. Now I'm really confused.
