Colic-Flush....NOT!!!

[Guest guest]

Hey Flushers,

Last night I tried the 'colic-flush' theory. Flushing while having an

attack. Whereas it may work for someone, it didn't for me. It was a

living hell that ended up in ER at 4am in the morning. Never again

for this flusher.

I was thinking of trying to do it like Dusans grandmother. Remember

that story how she rolled around on the floor and walked around

alnight and got out a cup full of hard marble stones? Well, that was

the goal for me. To get out the hard 1 cm stone out of my gb.

This is how it went...

Ate regularly all day. At night, had a big bowl of dry popcorn. At

around 12 pm, felt the tight feeling building up. I knew a mild type

of attack was coming on. Since my digestive tract was full ( I always

have BM's in the morning) I think the bile works at night to coat the

entire system, or at least the last food of the day. This would seem

to be why the colics happen in the night. I never have them in the

morning ( after BM's, or in the afternoon ). Anyway, since I was

feeling that the gb was emptying the bile and then the stone seems to

be the last to move into position to exit, it would be the most

optimum time to try and move it out. It was sitting at the mouth of

the gb causing the pushing pain. This has always interested me as a

potential time to flush and help to push it out (while it is is the

right position). I've tried ES in an attack but it only seemed to

relax the gb contractions and allow the stone to drop back out of

position of exit. ES relaxing the ducts was desired to allow the

stone to move out but actually it did the opposite in relaxing the gb

contractions. It was relief to the colic before but not the desired

effect of removing the stone. Next time the oil. So...

After one hour of pain, I drank the regular OO/GF mixture. Straight

down. 1/2 cup each, oil and GF mixed together. Laid on right side.

One hour later the pain hit harder. Harder than I have ever felt in

my life. I couldn't lay down anymore (was still on my right side),

couldn't sit, couldn't breathe, couldn't think, etc. I roughed it out

for around two more hour pacing the floor with tears. Breathing

became harder, sweats coming on.

Threw up the oil. Sweats come on my entire body also. Felt dizzy to

the point of passing out. Blacking in and out with shortened breaths.

Went to ER at 4am to get antispasmodic medication. Pain left in 10

minutes after medication. Sleep well after that.

So, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone. Well, at least it didn't work

for me. Could work for someone else, but not a good thing to try

because the gb could explode and really cause a bigger mess in there.

Dusans grandma must have been a tough old cookie, or her ducts where

bigger than mine, or alittle bit of urban myth could be at play.

Note; she didn't try this with a colic attack but she walked around

in pain alnight long.

I haven't heard of a colic-flush that was successful yet.

Thanks for your amusement.

Be Healthy,

Barry.
