Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Does having gallstones automatically mean you have diabetes? How are they related (other than they both occur primarily in overweight people)? What if you're not overweight? Goodness, I do NOT want to start worrying about diabetes too...:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Oh Boy Seems it is always some new information to research. Now I am hearing alot about the pancreas and the gallbladder and the liver all being closely related. Seems those of us who have gallstones no doubt are diabetic. That once you get rid of the gallstones and getting the liver and such working good, along comes a fluke in the pancreas. I dont know if I can stay on top of all this or not. I have gotten comfortable with the flushes and the apple cider vinegar and my gall bladder feels fine, at present. And I do know what to do for it if more problems arise. The gastro doc told me more than likely if I get the gallbladder straightened out that I would notice my blood sugar going down. Now wait a minute! Is he suggesting that gallbladder problems are related to diabetes, and the diabetic has a pancreatic fluke(parasite) to get rid of? Whew! Does all this stop somewhere? Today I read the pancreatic fluke is a hoax!. Oh well at least all this takes my heart and mind off the war. MissMouthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well at least all > this takes my heart and mind off the war. > MissMouthy Hi there...Where did you see the information about the fluke in the pancreas? I've heard of liver flukes, but this is a new one to me :-) Is there a link to a web page? Interesting the information you are sharing about getting gallbladder straightened out lowering blood sugar. My hubby is a diabetic, but he is also on Atkins Diet with all of it's fat, so either it's working his gallbladder a lot and keeping it cleaned out as he seems to do okay, or its clogging his arteries and filling his gallbladder with stones..depending upon what information one reads. It does get confusing at times, but the bottom line is to know what foods are healthy for you and eat them, and that can sometimes be the hardest thing to do in the world of so many choices and isles upon isles of junk food at the supermarket. (just finished a lunch of some fat free cheese that I just discovered at trader joes on a bread my mom gave me that is FULL of sunflower seeds, yum!!!) Take care, L.
