I still have the films, though. Is there a way to tell from looking at it? I mean, other than eyeballing. I guess what I'm asking is - is there something in the notations on the films themselves that might indicate something to me? When I look at the picture and see the white spots, how do I know if they are large stones and not just clumps of stones? I know you're not a radiologist, but you've probably had the most experience at looking at these things, so any thoughts you might have in that direction would be welcome. thanks, rachel~ " Live your dreams now.

Barry I know we've discussed this before and that you believe that one bowel movement a day is fine. But considering what you've just written, it would seem to be an option to check into bowel cleansing in order to get your bowels moving more than once a day. Many sources indicate that there should be a BM for every meal that we eat, meaning that 3 a day would be optimal if you are eating three meals a day regularly. It makes a lot of sense to me that your GB attacks are influenced by the amount of food in your system, so maybe getting those bowels moving more regularly than once a day would eliminate the attacks as well? I'd think it was worth checking into, especially since your history of GB attacks is so severe. This is what Dr. Schulze says in relation to his Intestinal Formula: " This formula can be taken for a week, a month or the rest of your life. Continue to use this formula until you are having one bowel movement each day for every meal you eat, between. 2 and 4 bowel movements a day are normal. " <A HREF= " http://www.learnhealth.org/patient/intestinal.htm#1 " >http://www.learnhealt\ h.org/patient/intestinal.htm#1</A> And he's not the type to say that just to sell the formula - he's a man who is genuinely concerned with people's health and well-being. Just thought I'd offer that thought to you as another avenue that you might explore - since you already brought up the bowel movements yourself. in health, rachel~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
