Re: Re: stone blocking bile duct

[Guest guest]

Hey,I just wanted to clarify that flushing large gallbladder stones is very dangerous, and should not be attempted. That's why milk thistle can be a problem in those situations. The gallbladder detoxes I recommended, the ones for large stones work to _dissolve_ the stones, not flush them. Be careful to do the detox for large stones.

Just to throw in my 2 cents worth - I had a large gall stone diagnosed a few weeks ago. I did all my research on doing flushes and also talked to the surgeon to get a good understanding of whether I would be better or worse off having the gall bladder removed. What he pointed out was that a large stone takes a number of years to form and in the process, is inflaming the gall bladder which then ceases to work effectively. He said that to leave the stone alone was fine, but could in a small number of cases lead to gall bladder cancer. Trying to flush a large stone carried the risk of it getting stuck in the bile duct, which could tear it. This is not life threatening, but leads to some very heavy duty surgery and a very long recovery process (months). I opted for the keyhole surgery about 3 weeks ago as I wanted to be free of the pain and get on with life. I was only in for a day and a night, the only SCD-edible food was fruit salad which was fine as I was so drugged up. My recovery was pretty rapid - 1 week off work and 1 week at half hours and now my energy is coming back for the first time in years. I have stuck to SCD rigidly and although I still have the same symptoms as before the surgery, they are getting less and less and I feel better and better.
