Why go back on the GFCF foods? Weren't you eating them when you got sick? I

remember the foods you listed and they were NOT healthy foods to fill up your

diet with. If it were me, I would continue eating the liver healthy diet plus

the things I could now eat, like dairy. But then again I have access to raw,

healthy dairy products. Do not be afraid of fats. They are what satisfies you.

Eat tons of veggies, put olive oil on them. Eat eggs (why aren't you eating

eggs?) Now that you know cleaning your liver has benefits, I'm not sure why you

stopped those healthy practices. You need fat, your baby needs fat. No more GFCF

packaged/processed foods!

That was on April 30th. I had diarrhea a few times the first month, after

freely without any problems so far. (I've never done a flush for several

along with some others. Choline is good for the baby's brain, but I was

wondering if taking beta food is still suggested when you don't have a

gallbladder. I'm using up what I had left.

Hi Evie. Thanks for your reply. Actually, it was when I went off the GFCF diet

that I started getting gallbladder attacks. Probably b/c I started eating fast

food out of the blue, got pregnant for the 4th time, and was going through a lot

of stress all at the same time. I thought eggs were really bad for the liver,

plus I think I'm allergic to them so I try to avoid them. All of my kids are

allergic to eggs. I showed up as lowly allergic on tests so I just avoid.

Prior to my gallbladder attacks, for meals, I would eat organic chicken or grass

fed beef at least every other day if not every day, rice, potatoes, GF spaghetti

once a week, and fruit. Not much veggies at all. On the gallbladder diet, all

I could manage to eat was lots of spaghetti, GF cereal with rice milk, apple

oatmeal, tomato soup, apples, green beans, different fruits, and salad. I was

starving and miserable and not gaining weight. Can't do fish b/c I'm pregnant

and hate fish anyway. I only eat meat about twice a month now, but I'm eating a

lot of chicken again, with pizza maybe twice a month. My blood pressure is low

- 98/62 yesterday and I'm 34 weeks pregnant. I hope my cholesterol doesn't go

up. It's never been high. I do exercise and I'm only 34 and usually weigh

around 105 lbs (5 foot 2 inches). So, not sure what to eat. Chicken doesn't

seem like it's a bad food, but for some reason, it's bad for the liver. I ate

it alot this week and was sick to my stomach last night. Dairy and gluten seem

to be doing to me the same things as before when I ate them so now I'm trying to

back off those again, which brings me back to chicken! :0 I eat some coconut

milk ice cream. I'm thinking that's a good fat and I add flax oil to my salads,

plus I do Omega/DHA supplements, CLO, etc. I'll figure it all out eventually!
