Re: Symptoms of atypical gallstone

[Guest guest]

Yes. run don't walk away from the GIs. The one that wants you to remove your

gallbladder as a " treatment' for GERD should not be allowed to practice

medicine... Butcher! The one who is giving you GERD meds that are not working

is out of options. If the meds are PPIs (protein pump inhibitors... prilosec,

previced, etc) you are now down the rabbit hole farther than when you started.

Check out Dr. 's new book " Stomach Acid Is Good For You " . While

I have not yet read it, this guy deals with this stuff inside and out all day

long. And while I have some basic differences of opinion in other areas he is a

tireless champion of your health and well being. -DDave

Couple of years back routine ultrasound (not related to liver or bilary

problems) detected two gallstones in gallbladder. It also indicated some 'fatty

liver'. A scan about a year later detected one stone and the fatty liver was not

observed. I have been having GERD for about 8-10 months. (I guess another stone

may have passed out or the scan did not pick it up!). I do not have any

gallbladder attacks or significant pain that I can relate to gall stones. HIDA

scan with CCK done last month showed gallbladder filling ok. One GI wants me to

take the gallbladder out as a remedy against GERD while another GI wants me to

try different Acid reflux medicines and says taking the gallbladder out is not

necessary. The acid reflux medicines do not help. Endoscopic exam showed a

little bit of hiatal hernia only -nothing significant. Anybody in similar

situation or have some ideas?Thanks

I would drink a tablespoon of vinegar twice a week.
