What a Relief-Good Flush

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, yesterday I did my 2nd flush and this morning I started

passing the stones. Lots of small tan and green ones from the first 2

trips to the potty. I kept passing small amounts up until 8PM. It seems

the epsom really makes me go a lot, before passing the stones I didn't

go as much as today, after the last 2 doses of epsom.

The symptoms started about a year ago; the pain wasn't bad at that

point, but I did a " sort of flush " anyway with just some apple juice and

olive oil. No epsom the first time. I did pass a lot of chaff and felt

better for months. The fat I eat comes from dairy; I have always loved

milk, cheese, ice cream and Chocolate milk. After I passed the chaf the

first time, I cut out the milk but still had chocolate ice cream binges.

I had stopped eating cheese quesadillas and jalaopeno cheese with grapes

for snacks. About a week ago in a restaurant the salad had some grated

cheese on it and i didn't think that small amount would hurt me. NOT.

I've been hurting for a week. I saw my doc on Friday and he's setting up

an appointment for the sonogam. I didnt even bother to tell him what I

planned to do because he is totally uninformed about alternatives to

anything.

I mixed the epsom salt with apple juice and used lemon juice with the

olive oil. It seems to me it was a rather successful flush. I didn't

pass hundreds like some of you, but probably close to 100 after many

trips to the potty. During the week I was hurting, it never got really

bad, but I did hurt in some strange places plus the usual ones. My legs

hurt with a pulling, drawing pain and my lower back hurt like it does

with kidney stones. Now I feel very relieved and nothing hurts. If any

hurting comes back before 2 weeks passes, should I do a flush

early....and do I need to take any kind of supplements to replace

anything lost in the process?
