Hi everyone,

I have been lurking for awhile. I was diagnosed with gb sludge last year. In

addition to an ultrasound I had the test (can't remember the name) that checks

into the pancreas. The Dr. thought it looked like I had an enlarged duct and was

looking for a stone-there was none. He said only sludge to wait until I had more

problems.

I have been having colic off and on for at least 12 years. I am 49 now. Oh, I

also have a fatty liver the enzyme(?) Gamma GTT is high.

Last Friday my cousin's wife became very ill (with what she assumed was an

intestinal virus that is currently making it's rounds in our area). It started

at 6:30 AM and by 11 AM she was rushed in an ambulance to the ER. She vomited

constantly and actually felt so sick she told me she wanted to die. She is

about my age - The Dr. said she would have died if she hadn't came in.

She is a diabetic and was in Acidosis- I have never heard of this so I don't

know if it came from the diabetes ,but I thought I'd mention it.

Anyway they ran tests and after she was strong enough they operated and removed

her gallbladder. Her Dr. said she had thousands of stones the size of a mustard

seed. So I guess they are about the size of a grain of sand maybe smaller... As

soon as she came to after surgery she felt better and was able to eat within

only 3 hours! She is doing really well.

This has me thinking that I don't want to wait until any longer. My Dad used to

do flushes years ago, I remember he used olive oil and lemon juice. I never paid

too much attention. He probably got the directions from the former Clymer Clinic

from his Dr.

Dad died in a car wreck so I do not have those directions. I remember he said he

passed stones that looked like emeralds I don't know if he was joking , but he

never mentioned pea green.

I have been cheering you on every weekend also said some prayers for you.
