Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 Diane, Yes, there are different types of gallstones. Calcium and/or pigmented stones and cholesterol stones. Also they can be a mix of these compositions with protien and other stuff. The majority are cholesterol stones. There are also different forms of bile. Gallstones and soft bile balls. The flush will always get out hundreds of bile balls but not always gallstones. It can do both but the gallstones can be harder to eliminate. In my personal opinion the flush method itself promotes the bile to form into soft bile balls and exit. The body is designed to do this naturally on it's own through regular stool action unless there is a problem with bile consistency, production and/or flow. Dieting is the key to maintain proper functioning bile. Flushing will excellerate the action that the body is normally doing already on it's own design. Diane, don't be worried about 'where the bile will go' without the bile reservoir of the gb. The bile will wait in the common duct and liver until you eat. Then hormones will activate the Sphincter of Oddi (the muscle at the end of the common duct) to open and allow the bile from the common duct and liver to enter the gastrointestinal area for aiding the digestion of your food. If your Oddi is working good you should have no problem with continual drip. If the bile is continually dripping into the intestine the small intestine will reabsorb the bile to process it back to the liver. Eating several small meals instead of gorging on one or two big meals will help the process. Eating smaller meals is better for your over all health anyway and is something everyone should be doing to avoid digestive problems. Good luck with your health and cleansing.
