Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Hi Very new to this and already felling like a fraud as compared to some of the posts here I don't have a lot wrong with me, I think To answer an earlier comment, I don't fall into the 5 f's as I'm male so 4 'f's' and an 'm' will have to do I was diagnosed about 7 years ago with Gallstones so possibly the forty doesn't even count now. I live in Northern Ireland famous for it's troubles but also for it's dairy farming, so dairy products have played a major roll in the type of foods I have eaten over the years. For years before this I had problems with what everyone thought was ulcers but the strange thing was I found taking grapefruit juice would get rid of the pain instead of a square of chocolate like most people need if they have ulcers About seven years ago I went to see my Doctor, it was his wife that took me that day, after examining me she said she would arranged to have a scan for ulcers in the New Year. But a week before Christmas I had a bad attack of pain and was in bed for a week and in the end had to get the doctor out who thought it was Gallstones. So I had my scan and told to stay off certain foods and if the pain got worse I could have an operation when I wanted it. The only reason for not having the operation is I haven't had any more bad attacks so didn't see the need In that seven years I have eaten badly and never really had another bad attack although I know when I am going to have an attack so eat better for a few days and it passes. But I think that this is about to change as I can feel that even after a prolonged time away from my greasy and Chinese food I still have a twinge in my back which is the first signs for me My questions are, do I really have to do a Bowel cleans and Kidney cleans before I have a go at the Gallbladder and Liver cleans. I really don't think that I could bare that Lemonade Diet for ten minutes let alone ten days although the loss of weight would be a godsend as I a little (LOTS) over weight BTW, the LazyDog handle describes me to a tee Finlay A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five. -- Groucho Marx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
