Re: First flush,..THANK YOU

[Guest guest]

I just signed on to the list as like most of you my gallbladder is

getting much much worse so have decided to investigate alternatives

to surgery. My Mother entered the hospital last December with a

ruptured disc only to be infected with C-dif and end up with Crohn's

disease. I do NOT want that to happen to me, and apparently all the

hospitals are infecting people with various creepy and cruddy things!

So I ran across Chang and eventually this group. I have

wondered over the past day whether I could actually swallow an entire

cup of olive oil. To me that seems much harder than anything else.

I saw on a hospital channel someone refer to gallbladder disease as

something that affects the 5 F's, " female, " fat " , " forty " , " fertile "

and " fair " . Except for the " Forty " that pretty much fits me

perfectly. I have survived the past year with on and off gallbladder

episodes that got much better after I have lost 73 lbs. However even

on the diet the attacks are coming much more frequently. So after

signing onto the list and reading Chris' post I am quite certain I

will try the flush. Right now I have the most uncomfortable, bloated

pressure. Just awful.

Thank you for this list and an alternative to surgery!! Anything you

think I should just know about flushes, gallstones or gallbladder

disease, please email me.
