Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Wish I'd known about the Epson salt and olive oil. I also had sludge and my gall bladder was functioning at 17% by the time they removed it. One question for the group..can you take cholestyramine without a gall bladder? My PCP didn't think it would be effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 My doctor prescribed cholestyramine to me after my gall bladder was removed. This was before I got so ill with mold. I was having stomach issues and cholestyramine is the number 1 product prescribed for this. At first I did not understand why my doctor gave me the cholesterol medication. I wish doctors would take a few minutes to explain more. So yes, cholestyramine is used after gall bladder removal, especially with the chronic diarrhea which some folks have after having a gall bladder out. --- In , " " <lallen4@...> wrote: > > Wish I'd known about the Epson salt and olive oil.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 How do you know if your gallbladder has sludge or it's functioning below capacity? I know my gallbladder area sometimes feels achy and I put heat on. Sometimes after fatty meals it rebels, and I feel toxic and get a headache. --- In , LiveSimply <quackadillian@...> wrote: > > I don't have a gall bladder anymore, mine was removed while I lived in > the mold apt, and it was majorly screwed up ..

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Wow. Clearly the toxins keep circulating in the bile and destroy the poor gallbladder. --- In , LiveSimply <quackadillian@...> wrote: > > Jill, you need to ask your DOCTOR...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 You had a painful gallbladder attack and had to have it removed Live? Did it just show 'sludge' before that, or did you have some other symptoms before the pain? --- In , LiveSimply <quackadillian@...> wrote: > > Jill, you need to ask your DOCTOR...

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I can and do take csm without a gall bladder-it is the only thing that helps me stay healthy, when I stop taking it, I get sick-the liver takes over the gall bladders job of dispensing bile into the digestive track-the bladder is just that -a bladder for holding and squeezing bile ...can you take cholestyramine without a gall bladder? > My PCP didn't think it would be effective. > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
