Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Barry asks below why would a person flush when they don't have any painful symptoms? I began flushing before I had any symptoms and I sure am glad I did! I got out so much sludge and so many big hard clumped " stones " . I will continue periodic flushes to see what I get. I'd rather error on the side of getting that stuff out than wait until it builds up so bad that I have to have my GB out because I can't get the big one to pass. Barry! Please don't be offended by this. You are sure a great guy and I'm awfully sorry you had to got through what you have. I for one am so glad you are on this list because you are knowledgable (sp?) about so much in regard to flushing and I have learned much from your posts. But I do have to disagree with you on this one. I think that those large stones that I got out must have been harmful in some way, or could/ would be in the future. of Dewberry Hill Barry said: If you are flushing without gallstone attacks just because your mother had stones you are really a cautious person. Sometimes it is even better to leave things alone unless you have colic. Stirring the pot so to speak without pain can cause more problems than you started with. Many thousands of people have 'silent' stones that they take to their graves without ever having any pain. Only a small percent ever have colic attacks that need corrective actions. " People are like stain glass windows; they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is alight within. " -Kubler Ross " Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
