It showed an enlarged liver and 1 gallstone measuring 4.2 cm. My internist strongly suggested surgery, which I haven't done and don't plan to do. I would rather do a cleanse. In doing a little research, I have found web sites with stones that are large, clustered and numerous that have been passed. Since the bile duct is 5 mm, it is hard to believe that something 4.2 cm would pass, but I believe that they do. For instance, in child birth doesn't the birth canal, etc., stretch to accommodate? Just a thought. Not all that glitters is gold. Not all who wander are lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
