Very interesting site. Ultrasound pics...!!!

[Guest guest]

Great site, Barry - thanks so much! When I first picked up my ultrasound

films a couple of weeks ago (no, I haven't returned them yet!!), I did search

for a site like that but never found one. This is great.

When I look at my ultrasound pictures (none quite as good as the ones on that

site), 2 of the view of the gallbladder look clear (all dark), but the third

looks like there are 2-3 little white spots, which I presume to be stones.

It is encouraging, though, to read on this site that cholesterol stones do

show up in ultrasound. I really want to find a way to have a followup

ultrasound done and compare pictures. (Still trying to find a way to get in

on a group deal with YOUR radiologist, Barry! lol)

thanks again for the site - that's a very helpful one.

in health,

rachel~

This is by far one of the best gallstone informational site I've

found lately. It shows what an ultrasound picture of a stone looks

like and describes the many types of stones. Mine looks exactly like

the first ultrasound picture, and it's a cholesterol stone. This must

mean that not all stones that show on ultrasound are calcium. Mine (1

cm) is now in my opinion a cholesterol stone (just harder that the

average liver stone).

New information daily...:-)

Check it out.

BARRY, Thanks for this! My schedule will allow me to do the GB flush

anywhere from the 20th to the end of March, and all I keep thinking

is about passing these hard calcium things, and how much it will hurt,

since I thought you guys were telling me that if I saw my stones in

ultrasound (which I did) they were calcium. Also, from the pictures

I can tell that my little collection must be relatively small. Whatever,

I am going to try some of the new things I've learned from you kind

folks on here, I have saved so many messages I hope I don't get

confused :-)

AGNES, did you use any epsom salts when you did your flush??

Sounds like it worked pretty well without them for you.

Congrats!!

I am really looking forward to feeling better!!

Your welcome ,

I knew it would be helpful for some people in here who are looking at

ultrasound pictures to see what is really inside. Good to know what

you are dealing with in there. My ultrasound pictures look exactly

like that first picture on that site. Exactly. Also, the information

about those being cholesterol stones instead of calcium puts new

information on all these stones. Before, I was under the belief that

only calcium stones show white on ultrasound but now I see that

cholesterol stones as well show up white. The only way to know is to

do testing I guess. Since 90% of stones are cholesterol based gives

those of us with white ultrasound stone pictures hope in reducing

size or crushing for elimination with a flush.

,

Yes, seeing your stones on ultrasound, exactly what you are dealing

with internally, will help you to eliminate the problem. Visualizing

those little stones moving out is a good positive approach while

flushing. Also, if they are under 10mm, they should be able to flush

out very easily with one or a few flushes. Cholesterol will soften

and breakdown in a shorter amount of time whereas calcium would take

much longer.

Good luck and I am happy you were encouraged by that site. Me too!!
