Guest guest Posted January 25, 2002 Report Share Posted January 25, 2002 Hello all, I thought I would introduce myself, and thank whoever started this group for all the support and answers I've received already. I'm 21 years old, and this fall I'd just started loosing weight on Weight Watchers. Also in early fall I'd started to recognize that something was wrong with my stomach, I'd been more gassy and experiencing short, slight pain in my stomach. In November I had my first fullfledged attack, which at the time I thought was food poisioning, I then had two more attacks which I thought were food poisioning, and which my mother thought was a stomach bacteria (she subscribes wholeheartedly to Hulda , and is using her methods to sucessfully treat her breast cancer for at least 3 years now)... After having 3 attacks in 2 days right before Christmas I made a decision to go to the doctor and get this darn thing figured out. I just found out yesterday that I have gallstones - the doctor says its because of my weight loss. My mother suspected such a thing and had me do Hulda's liver cleanse for the first time.. lets just say there aren't words to describe the event. I have a couple questions for you experienced flushers... First off, being busy with the flushing, my rear end was terribly sore from all the activity, is there any cream or ointment anyone can reccommend for treatment? Secondly, I read in a book to drink only Apple juice and green juices during an attack (Like I could eat anything during an attack ANYWAYS.), to to use Scot Pine aromatherapy oil during an attack to alleviate pain. Does anyone else have any other suggestions for alleviating pain? They've gotten worse and worse, and it seems like vomitting might help, but then the pain still stays with me for 4 or 5 hours after-so although its reduced to a dull ache, its still debilitating. Thirdly, I read also that some people have a difficult time with taking the olive oil, because it IS an oil...I had no trouble with it, but now I'm terrified I will next time, has anyone had difficulties with the olive oil bringing on an attack? And last but not least, my mother also reccommended I take a tablespoon of uncooked flax seed oil (yuuuuck) a day, but I recently had an attack shortly after doing so - and once again I'm terrified of doing it again. Has anyone out there been treating their gallbladder with flax seed oil? Thats about all for now, I know I'll have many more questions in the future, thanks to all that take the time to read and reply to this, your answers are very very VERY much appreciated. Thank you, =*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
