Re: New to the board and need information about flushes

[Guest guest]

Slow down is the advice you need to take to heart immediately. There

is no need to rush to surgery until you ascertain what is causing u

the pain.

However, there is one thing that puzzles me, since the doctor told

you that the pain is not in the typical place for gall stones then why

would you want to have the surgery in the first place? You sound like

u are in a panic - so take a deep breath and try to think this thru.

As far as time is concerned lets not forget you are in control of your

well being and you have plenty of time. If I were you I would cancel

the surgery & seek a second opinion. You should be extremely leery of

a doctor who wants to perform surgery with no guarantees that the

surgery will take care of the pain. Awful to hear this doctor tell you

this.

These tablets , AF Beta Food by the company, Standard Process will

take away most pain associated with gallbladder.

You will also find that this group will help you better understand

your GB and provide you with alternative ways.

Good luck

OK, I don't have a lot of time. I am scheduled for gallbladder

surgery tomorrow morning! I have back pain but no other symptoms.

The surgeon saw the gallstones and said that my pain is not in a

typical place for gallstones, but since I have them I should still

have my gallbladder out. She actually said " I can't guarantee that

this surgery will help your back pain! " .

I'd like to keep my gallbladder, but am afraid that flushing might

just make it worse by moving gallstones around and plugging the

ports.

Have any of you on this board had symptoms go away after a flush?

Have any of you had to have surgery because a stone blocked a port?

Has anyone heard about the new procedure at Mayo Clinic where they

are disolving the gallstones?

Thanks for your help. If I had more time I'm sure I could have

searched through this board. It kind of amazes me how people take

surgery so lightly and seem to think that all those people with

complications after gall bladder surgery are 'rare'.

A few things, - my 2 cents. You can take with grains of salt.

 

1. First - not all gallstones display the classic symptoms of pain on right

side. You MAY get atypical symptons from gallstones.

 

2. Gallstones may cause inflammation to pancreas and that may cause pain on the

non-typical sides.

 

3. The medical (MD) community empirically says that you may have gallstones and

can live with them for a long time without symptoms. But, once you get some

symptoms and pain - you are bound to have attacks later on (sooner or later).

Therefore, do you live with them that long or take the corrective action.

 

4. Nothing wrong with flush or natural things. But, there is a time and place

for everything. One needs to start on these at a young age and keep on the

regimen consistently.

 

5. Penicillin, amputations, vaccinations etc. are not naturals remedies or

cures. But, they are necessary blessings or 'evil'. One needs to use the

judgement when to use the natural or surgical cure?

 

6. I had gallstones, GERD for 2 years. Survived 4/5 gall bladder attacks. Took

off the bladder and fully cured of all remedies. The blessing from teh surgery

is that I am conscious of what I eat - eat good stuff. But, a relative of mine -

waited and ultimately has got severe pancreatities. That convinced me to take

the gb out.

 

Good luck to all of you. Everyone is intelligent to use their own judgement and

suffer the consequences. No one else will be sharing the joy or sorrow..

OK, I don't have a lot of time. I am scheduled for gallbladder

surgery tomorrow morning! I have back pain but no other symptoms.

The surgeon saw the gallstones and said that my pain is not in a

typical place for gallstones, but since I have them I should still

have my gallbladder out. She actually said " I can't guarantee that

this surgery will help your back pain! " .

I'd like to keep my gallbladder, but am afraid that flushing might

just make it worse by moving gallstones around and plugging the

ports.

Has anyone heard about the new procedure at Mayo Clinic where they

Thanks for your help. If I had more time I'm sure I could have

Unless you have acute pencreatitis or gb pain - you do not have to have surgery

next day. Step back and consult a few more doctors and make the decision. Even

in those cases - you would be stabilized before surgery should be scheduled.

Gallstones pain do cause pain in the back side - the pain radiates. You may get

some info from May Clinic doctors or site.
