Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi All- I've been following the list for a month now, but I still haven't done the flush. I've only had one attack, last month, and was misdiagnosed at 2 ER's until my urine was very dark. Only then was an ultrasound suggested, where gallstones were found. I was immediately given the name of a surgeon and directed to make an appointment. I still haven't called the surgeon and I haven't been in pain since that one night. My problem now is that my bilirubin (direct and total) is still elevated. From what I've read, I'm thinking this is due to a stone in my bile duct. I'm trying the apple juice, the ACV...I eat a pretty decent diet. I've been off of meat for over a year, no caffeine/sodas/partially hydrogenated in my diet, and I'm not overweight. Can I pass a stone that's already in the duct with the flush? I really want to exhaust all my possibilities of healing on my own before calling the surgeon. My doctor mentioned that the surgeon may try to go in after the stone instead of taking out the gallbladder, but I really don't want that either! They were very vague about the ultrasound. I don't know how many or the size of the stones that were seen. I would like to get more information on that, but it's like pulling teeth getting that kind of information out of my doctor. Any ideas/suggestions on what to do with a stone partially blocking a duct would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
