Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 WHy is it that a person can walk around completely unaffected with hundreds or thousands of stones, and then bam he has all these problems? What's the trigger and why is it that for the attacks to stop, the stones must be decreased to near nothing? Does anyone know once they are all or nearly gone, how long it would take for attacks to come back on? OK, I had the country breakfast--hash browns, sausage, and eggs. Lunch was fruit. Dinner, beans with sour cream, corn bread, dessert a cookie, choc chip cake, and ice cream. Oh man I am either brave or crazy. If I had never had a gall bladder attack, I would not know that I had one last night. It was a strange stomach ache that stopped when I took some digestive enzymes. I am so happy to finally know that I have made true progress. Will not eat like this regularly and will continue flushing and testing it until there are no attacks. I hope everyone who tries and continues to improve with flushing and diet can have good success like I am. I am excited to call my chiropracter who encouraged me after he had to have his own emergency surgery to remove his gall bladder. When he said adamantly, " flush every two weeks for six months " , I about lost it. But I can do this and reap the rewards. Yeah!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 Dawn, Congratulations on your cleanse. For the first few days after a flush you can eat anything you want and probably be colic free. As the oil is processing through your body over the next few days, you have in effect 'coated' the system and colic should be very minimal or nill during this time. You must continue to flush until you are sure that your gallbladder is clear. Ultrasound should also be used to check those results when you feel you have completed the major objective you are going for with cleansing. Note; I have been 'fooled' in thinking that pain-free time over those few days after a flush was a sign that I had removed my problem, only to have it come back a week later after my body was back to normal. Normal meaning not loaded with oil. I hope if it is only 'gravel' or small sludge you are getting out that you will reach the pain-free level sooner. Every 'body' is different. Keep flushing. To answer some of your questions. A person can have hundreds of stones in their gb and go their entire lifetime without pain. Those are called 'silent stones'. They never move into the mouth of the gb to block the opening and stop the bile flowing from the gb. For those people, the bile just flows around the stones unobstructed and never causes any pain. Not to say that it can't later though. If some of those stones start moving around they can cause problems later in life. Dieting changes, stress changes, weight gain and loss changes, heretitary reasons, age, excersize or lack of, are some of the factors that can wake a sleeping stone(s). It is of the general medical belief that once you are at the age that your body produces stones in your gallbladder that if you remove them, in 50% of the cases, they will continue to come back in weeks, months, or years later. Once a flusher, always a flusher. This is why they will not only remove the stone(s) from the gallbladder but will just remove the entire organ. Note; if this was drastically a negative effect to the digestive system, they would surely just remove the stone and not the gallbladder. They feel that if in 50% of the cases the stones will return no matter what kind of dietary changes you make, and because only 5% of the people removing the gb have some mild problems later, the best option for them is to remove the entire thing. Hope this answers some questions for you. Keep up the good work for the search for better health.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 Barry, I plan on continuing to flush until I get almost nothing or nothing. Then I'll maintain a couple times a year. Thanks for all the info. Dawn You must continue to flush until you are sure that > your gallbladder is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
