Everyone's body is different. Why would my one 1cm gb stone cause me to loose hours of sleep and your many stones do not? Why do some people live all their lives with a gb full of calcified stones and never feel any pain? Bile consistancy? Some bile can flow easier than others. You could have a 3cm calcified stone and never feel pain as long as the bile can flow past it. Duct size at the mouth, shape of the stone (oval, round). There can be many factors for the difference. Just be glad yours haven't caused you severe pain....yet. Getting them out is the only way to insure they will not one day bother you more. Good luck with your health.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 Susie, The way I found out was this: During my Hidoscan xray I put a lead object (that the Technologist gave me) right over the area of pain. >> ________________ , I know that I have gallstones. I had an ultrasound Dec. of 2000 in the ER, and after that is when I started doing cleanses. Also when I first started having any kind of pain in this area, I was having reflux. It took me some time to realize that it was my gallbladder. I'd say about a year. One day I was having a reflux and it was just a wee little bit different, then I decided it was my GB. When I had that horrible attack in Dec. of 2000, I also had a reflux with it, which the doc said wasn't unusual at all with GB attacks. Now I'm fixing to be doing cleanse #13 or 14, I think. I've lost count. I'm in the process right now. But since I found out it was my GB, I've changed my diet, take vitamins, drink lots of water, and since the Beta-TCP, I've had even less problems. Doesn't mean that I won't ever having any more problems again, though. I look at it as a day-to-day journey. Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 Susie, The way I found out was this: During my Hidoscan xray I put a lead object (that the Technologist gave me) right over the area of pain. (I had to use such an object because since it's a " nuclear " machine it only would pick up a lead object.) When I asked the technologist what it was on she said it was an inch away from the gallbladder on the duendenum(or small intestine!) Sometimes you must " get smart " to figure out where the pains are coming from, because my Docter's taking too long! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 Susie, I really hope you get better soon! P.S. I've read that many people with gallstones are deficient in minerals and electrolytes, especially organic sodium. If you can drink lots of Carot/celery juice which is high in organic sodium!The gallbladder needs these minerals to manufacture sufficient and healthy bile.
