Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 Hi Tammy, What you are describing can be from many things in the digestive tract besides the gallbladder. It could be stomach or gastrointestinal ulcers, problems with sphincter of oddi, or other digestive problems. Also even if your gallbladder is ultrasound clear of stones doesn't mean that you don't have biliary duct blockages or problems with your bile to digest those fatty foods. Also ultrasound does not always detect all stones so you still may be dealing with stones or even small grainy size stones that can still cause blockage of ducts and create colic pain or even nausea. If you really suspect it is from your liver/gallbladder system then it wouldn't hurt to do a couple of liver/gallbladder cleanses and see if the nausea clears up. The Dr. Hulga cleanse found on site www.curezone.com is a mild and easy flush to do. Maybe this will clean out your gallbladder, biliary ducts, and liver tracts and stop your problems. If it doesn't then you can always continue to look for other problems in your digestive system. The flush is good for cleansing the liver even if you don't have gallbladder problems so it is always worth a try. Besides that, the flush doesn't hurt you so it is always good to improve your health if nothing else. Removing old toxins, old sludge buildup, etc within the liver by flushing out your bile is always good to do for anyone wanting to be more healthy. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I have had severe things happen in the past that have lead me to think I may have something wrong with my gall bladder. Strong nausea after fatty meals, Nausea in the middle of the night, chest and back pain etc. I have had an ultrasound that shows NO gall stones. Should I keep digging??? Thanks for your help. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tammy; I'm glad to hear that your ultrasound showed no stones, but part of the problem with an ultrasound is that it won't always be as effective as an MRI to show certain types of stones, especially those that are formed from precipitated cholesterol or cholesterol in a thickened state such a sludge. However, nausea itself isn't indicative of a gallstones as much as belching would after a heavy meal. Nausea could be, as Barry has noted, an ulcer or some other of the potential problems that can occur. The most common type of abdominal pain with gallstones has a bloating that occurs along with it. The pain is usually higher up in the abdominal area and will with some people go from the front side to the back side and even be like it's traveling up the underside of the right shoulderblade. I personally never suffered with a nausea from the gallstone that was in my gallbladder but I did writhe in pain enough times to know something wasn't right. Nausea can come from eating various food combinations too. So, it could be that you may be having trouble with an allergic reaction to the foods that you are eating. Try avoiding foods that have refined wheat flour, milk, animal fat, hydrogenated fats, refined simple sugar, and, most importantly anything containing a sugars substitute called aspartame. This will help to pin point what specific foods or combinations are causing this type of nausea along with an abdominal pain. Two of these websites have some suggestions as to other things you may consider trying to do too to see if they help in dealing with whatever is happening in your body. The third is a precursor for someone considering the removal of their gallbladder, and especially if it is too dead to recover. http://www.hivgum.demon.co.uk/mw2/infoex/nausea.html http://www.stjosham.on.ca/HealthLinks/INDIGESTION.htm http://www.lubbocksurgical.com/understanding_gallbladder_surgery.htm One other thing to see about avoiding is using a microwave to prepare foods. This modern convenience could very well be the cause of some problems with people not be nourished from the foods cooked by their use. Take special note of the THERMIC AND NON-THERMIC EFFECTS at this website. http://www.vegan.swinternet.co.uk/articles/health/mw_danger.html Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Dale, Is an MRI the same thing as a CAT scan? I think that was the first test I had and it showed my gb clear. The ultrasound showed stones, so how would the stones shown on an ultrasound different for those on an MRI?
