Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 I also work out but have read that people with GB problems should not consume much red meat or eggs. Therefore I started drinking whey protein drinks. I think you need to ease up on the meat and eggs. I will say that organic eggs haven't bothered me, but I still keep them to a minimum. Amber Guys i want to go back to the gym but i would like to know if that is counterproductive or would have a boomerang effect if i take or consume proteins (beef, eggs, milk also) to do my workouts. Also i wonder if doing exercises would affect the movement of the stones and cause pain. Please, i need suggestions. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 For protein sources, whey protein is great, but watch for all the fillers they may have in them. Egg whites should be fine, as they have no fat in them. There is some ideas that one should avoid excess dairy if you have kidney stones, but I have not found definitive source for this...to include low fat yogurt, cottage cheese and ricotta cheese are good. I would avoid overly processes cheeses...your body does not digest these very easily. I have no idea about the movement of working out to cause the stones to move. ----- Original Message ---- From: Amber <amber@...> gallstones Sent: Monday, September 24, 2007 5:26:46 AM Subject: Re: Advice to take proteins I also work out but have read that people with GB problems should not consume much red meat or eggs.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Thanks, Keri. I'm doing much better since watching my diet, but not over the hump yet. I found that lemon juice in water has been most helpful too, except I've experienced a noticeable weight loss over the past month. Since my last doctor visit 2 years ago, I've lost about 10 lbs. (most in the few weeks I think) and am concerned about losing too much weight (my average weight 155 at 5'6 " )... Had much physical activity this past weekend and either the preoccupation with what I was doing or the activity itself seemed to help my GB issues, although I have found that movement/position while sleeping, e.g., has affectd my GB symptoms suggesting I have a very " mobile stone " . Not sure if the kink in my back today is a result of a mild muscle pull or the stone. Have ultrasound and bloodwork scripts as soon as I get time. Otherwise, I'm feeling much better than I did last week and have alot more energy. All for now... reporting in.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Good for you - smart smart move to do such a successful cleanse - in two weeks do another one, because stones from the back of the liver will move up - eliminate them. I wouldn't hesitate to go to the gym now. I found when I did my first flush - the stones in the main portal of the liver were those eliminated first - these were the ones causing most of my problems. ernesto hospina <ernhosp@...> wrote: Hello guys.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 hello carlos- your body needs protein. i started off w/ proteins that were easy for my body to digest- fish, seafood, then after 1-2 months added poultry. i also started off w/ very small amounts. i was buying my fish from costco, which is individually frozen. one piece, which would be a normal serving for a person w/ healthy digestive system, started off as 3 servings for me. i was also able to eat 1 soft boiled egg a day, but it was awhile before i could eat more than that. after about 6 months of fish and poultry i tried some lamb, then a few months later beef. they are only occasional in my diet, i still mainly stick to fish and poultry. as for the milk, its not working out for me. i've read that dairy is really an issue for people w/ gall bladder problems. it has been 1 year since my last attack, i eliminated dairy from my diet. i've recently found a source of raw dairy, which is easier to digest, and i don't think my gall bladder is appreciating it. (is there anyone out there that has been able to add dairy back into their diet successfully?) as for exercising...i'd think that would be a great thing to do. i've read it keeps your digesting system moving and things don't get stagnant. it helps to keep the bile flowing so the sludge and stones don't form. i know i can tell the difference if i slack off on my walking. however, i don't do any vigorous gym workouts so i can't speak for that. i know mainstream doctors tell us not to eat fat because they say that is what causes the gallstones. according to dr thomas cowan (http://fourfoldhealing.com/Q & A%20Gall%20Stones.htm)eating too much of the wrong kinds of fats and not enough good fats is what causes the stones. but you do have to start off w/out fat to let your digestive system heal and then gradually add them back in. i hope i've been of some help. best of luck on your journey. be well, ~beverly --- In gallstones , ernesto hospina <ernhosp@...> wrote: > > Hello guys.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I have a question: Will physical exertion irritate an ailing gall bladder? Mine's settled down since about two weeks ago, but I find when doing, for instance, outside chores I can get that feeling of an attack which passes after a short time. Yesterday I splurged and ate some pepperoni, cheese and a hotdog (sort of a test) throughout the day. It did not bother me at all. Last night went out and had a salad, but it was late (after 10 PM) and that did bother me a little which I attribute to easting later than I should have... mild discomfort didn't last long and was quelled by drinking my lemon juice in water. Otherwise, I'm doing much better these days having altered my diet. It's the weight loss that concerns me and I'll plan to do another flush soon (last one was about 3 weeks ago) in an attempt move/pass my stone(s). I think it's possible for someone to lose 6-8 lbs. in a mere few weeks when changing/limiting their diet to calm down the gall bladder and digestive processes... true? The noticeable weigh loss has had me a little concerned since I am/was at a good weight for my size. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I drink organic whole milk because I love it and have never had a problem with milk. Some people cannot tolerate milk. I have found that I can occasionally eat an organic egg. I rarely eat red meat any more, just chicken and fish. As far as exercising, even gentle bouncing on a rebounder (mini-trampoline) is extremely helpful. It exercises every cell in the and is great for lymph drainage. As to fat, the body needs the proper fats, e.g. olive oil, coconut oil, fish oil, flax oil, avocados. Amber (is there anyone out there that has been able to add dairy back into their diet successfully?) as for exercising...i'd think that would be a great thing to do. i've read it keeps your digesting system moving and things don't get stagnant.i know mainstream doctors tell us not to eat fat because they say that is what causes the gallstones. .

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I've drank milk my entire life, and when I started having gall bladder problems I have had a problem with milk. We were even drinking raw milk, and when I tried switching to raw skim milk- same problem. I've read that food allergies can lead to gall bladder problems, but that's just one theory. It would explain why all of us can tolerate different foods! Have a blessed day!

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Same thing happened to me. I always was able to drink milk until I had a bad gallbladder attack two months ago. Since then, I can't drink milk without feeling intense gas pain, but I have no problem with either soy milk or lactose free milk. --- Evie Maddox <evie@...> wrote: > I've drank milk my entire life, and when I started > having gall bladder > problems I have had a problem with milk.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 If I were you, I wouldnt test myself with pepperoni and cheese and hot dogs. They're bad for you anyway and even if you didnt have peroblems this time around, you will the more you get used to it again, The discomfort you felt after the salad could still be attributed to your eating those bad foods earlier. If you want to gain some weight, I would suggest eating healthy foods that can bulk you up like bread. Try eating more but of only healthy food. --- franniboy@... wrote: > I have a question: > > Will physical exertion irritate an ailing gall > bladder?

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 That's interesting. From what I've heard, the liver getting clogged and not working right will cause allergies. Many people who cleanse their liver enough times get rid of all their allergies. Liver not working at full capacity also can lead to gall bladder problems. I'm not sure what comes first, but liver health is definitly important and too often neglected as a major part of our health.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Yes....adding dairy back in was possible for me, but only raw milk and cream.....homogenization and especially the pasteurization destroys all the enzymes needed to digest the milk as well as all the beneficial bacteria....of course not all states allows raw milk for sale....... --------------------------------- Boardwalk for $500?
