New to the group

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

I am new to this group. Diagnosed with gallstones about 2 months ago

and doctor wants to operate. When diagnosed i had a bad attack and

blocked stone in bile duct, had to go to hospital to get blocked

stone out. He says it may happen again and even affect my pancreas.

I am 41 year old mother of 3, and been getting attacks for the last 3

years. I thought I kept getting food poisoning, and was getting very

sensitive to various foods. So, for last 2 months, I've been off

dairy products (lost heaps of weight), no red meat, no fried foods,

no caffeine, no alcohol. Having fresh vegetable juice in the

morning, trying to follow Cabot's Liver Cleansing Diet. But

I've still been having attacks every couple of weeks, where I spend

all night throwing up. I don't know what sets me off with an attack.

Twice I've been to hospital where they put me on a drip because I'm

so dehydrated, and drugs to stop vomiting and for pain. As it is I

find the attacks quite debilitating, because they wipe me out, first

vomiting all night and then recovering afterwards. This is so

difficult as a busy mother of three. When I am sick like that I

think maybe it is better to get my gallbladder out. I've been

reading lots about gallstone flushing. But I am very nervous about

trying this. Scared about bringing on another attack. I have also

had acute appendicitis at age 13 and tonsils out at age 19 (they were

not functioning properly), and I wonder is there any connection

between these organs that get removed that we can supposedly live

without??? Does anyone have a similar situation? Or some good

advice please??
