Re: no stones showing but they still want to do surgery

[Guest guest]

That sounds wonderful, that your scan showed no

stones after changing your diet! That is an

encouragement!

I can't answer your question, but wonder if on occasion

you might take some Echinacea/Golden Seal or add

Garlic to your diet in order to keep infection away. If

you use Echinacea/Golden Seal, don't use it every day,

but perhaps a couple days a week. Garlic can be taken

more often.

I have been using Lecithin faithfully over the past few

months, and regularly using Flax Seed Oil. Also use

a digestive enzyme supplement from Puritan Pride

when I eat fatty meals (I save my Lecithin for those times,

too). Thanksgiving I have eaten some oily and fatty

things, and though I do notice twinges, and sensitivity

when I do this, have not had any major attacks. I'm

looking for some time to do another flush...but your

message was an encouragement to me! Adding

lecithin is new for me.

I think perhaps you made the stones because of the lack of oils

in your diet, your poor liver and gall bladder were not

stimulated enough to keep bile moving.

Sounds like you are on a great track!

i was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago and went on a

totally fat free diet, NO fat at all except for a tea spoon of flax

oil a day

last november i started having gallbladder attacks. a scan showed

15plus small stones, the gallbladder walls were thickened and my

liver function tests were not normal

in the last year i have had 3 bad attacks, each lasting 2 days and

i have introduced olive oil into my diet, plus lecithin, artichoke

juice, and herbal remedies.

the latest scan shows NO stones. liver function tests are ok. my

surgeon still wants to operate as he says there will be microscopic

damage which will be prone to inffection. due to underlying

disabilty i have very little chance of surviving emergency surgery

and that is why elective surgery is being pushed.

has anyone here managed to achieve a clear scan and had no further

problems?

I have.

I had been diagnosed in February of 99 of having A stone of undetermined size in

a gallbladder of which I was told was thickened and very diseased. I was

requested to contact a particular surgeon and have my gallbladder removed within

the next two weeks. I didn't and I still have my gallbladder. I have been doing

fine as far as it goes but I do have trouble with my liver being in not the best

of condition because of Hep c and b having been part of my life in the past. I

have to be very careful of what I eat so as to not exasperate my liver and

therefore my gallbladder too.

I would say that if you've been doing as you say you have that the doctor should

be working with you to find out if you have elevated white cell counts to

determine if there is a diseased organ and if so then take in a consideration of

removing the gallbladder. If that isn't the case then I would say something,

which would not be metaphorically proper, to the doctor who is wanting to remove

my gallbladder when it's as healthy as it's supposed to be and find one that

will work with me to maintain what I started this life with.
