Life after gallbladder removal

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. Just wanted to give an update. I had my GB removed in April. Not

looking for judgements here. That is what I felt was best in my situation at

the time. Just thought I would share in case it helps anyone else. I was 19

weeks pregnant with my 4th child, had 6 severe attacks in 10 weeks, despite

eating a pretty strict liver friendly diet. The two weeks before my surgery I

had two colon hydrotherapy sessions done. A couple hours after the second one,

I had a severe attack. I believe I passed a stone b/c a few days later, at an

ultrasound before my surgery, there was now only one stone instead of 2, but it

was located at the end of the gallbladder, so it seemed that it was blocking the

main duct out possibly. I chose not to do a liver flush b/c I didn't feel 100%

sure about the safety of it while pregnant, and I didn't feel I knew enough

about it, and time was of the essence as I was having an attack about once a

week. I have always been constipated, so I feel that had I not had colon

hydrotherapy done b-4 a flush, I would have been in really bad shape as it all

would have just backed up and caused a lot of pain and cramping. My

hydrotherapist was recommended by a woman who passed all her gallstones via

colon hydrotherapy with coffee and drinking some special herbal teas in between

sessions. I couldn't take the teas being pregnant, nor the coffee enemas. The

colon hydro did help me a lot. Right after my surgery, for the next 3 months, I

could eat anything without problems pretty much. I did get some diarrhea here

and there if I ate out but no other problems. I could eat dairy without getting

headaches, and the bags under my eyes were gone. I thought it was from having a

bad GB removed, but now I believe it was from the colon hydro removing built up

toxins in my colon. Anyways, it's been 10 months since my surgery. Under eye

bags are back bad. I need to get in and have another colon hydro done, this

time with the coffee too. I will get diarrhea every once in a while, but

haven't in a few months. However, now I am getting really bad drop dead if you

are anywhere near me gas if I eat meat or chicken or any fats or oils even.

Within 20-30 minutes of eating something, I'm having gas like every 30-60

seconds. I'm already back to eating gluten and dairy free, but if I eat dairy

that also gives me gas. So, I probably have stones in my liver as opposed to

getting stuck in my gallbladder. Kind of stinks that I'm part of that " 40% " of

people who cannot go back to eating anything they want. I am nursing so I don't

want to do a liver flush right now. Oh I also developed anemia since I stopped

eating meat so when I gave birth I passed out shortly after. I think I was

always borderline anemic so now I'm taking iron along with vit C, enzymes, B12,

probiotics, CLO, prenatal, cal/mag, vit D and occassionally choline and AF Beta

food tablets. Should I still take the last two if I don't have a GB? Anyways,

I'm trying to follow a liver cleansing diet and will have another colonic done

but is there anything else I can do to help alleviate the gas? I can't even

tolerate ghee on homemade popcorn or olive oil on red potatoes. Also just read

in the Body Ecology Diet book (starting that for my daughter-autistic), that if

you have a bad liver, you pass that on to your baby. Great! Now she has a bad

liver too. I'm also drinking small amounts of a super green powder mix

w/chlorella and all that good stuff. But now I'm back to vegetarian and it

doesn't seem to give me enough strength and energy throughout the day. I don't

like fish. Anyways just wanted to add my experience.
