natural gallstone remedies

I read that, too, Suzi, peppermint oil capsules are used in Europe to

cleanse the GB.

gall bladder.

Kit,

My DOM does use raw herbs to make into tea, powders, and some pills.

I haven't had any attacks since my last attack last Friday. I haven't

been eating very much, but what I am eating is fairly healthy. I've

gotten twinges on my both my right and left sides, but I wouldn't

call it " pain " after experiencing multiple gallbladder attacks this

summer. I'm trying to figure out how to afford going to my DOM after

the doctor's bill and car repairs in the same week. But, I'll get to

her as soon as I can. My treatment with her helped tremendously last

month and I know she will help me feel better.

Kit,

I did read about apples. I've been eating lots of apples, organic

applesauce and drinking organic apple juice. Yes, I do have a juicer

and my local health food grocer is my new favorite place to shop. I am

still trying to figure out what to do with some of this food when I get

it home. I've never been much for cooking or food preparation, and the

tastes are very new.

I don't remember if the ER said anything about inflammation. I was

drugged and tired when they told me I had gallstones. I don't have any

infection at this time. The integrative doctor made sure I knew the

signs to go to the surgeon and get my gallbladder removed. I'm still

trying to avoid that.

Kit,

Unfortunately, my " previous " eating habits were high in dairy, sugar,

refined carbohydrates and fats. I love sandwiches at deli/sandwich

shops and drank a 32 oz cup of coke or pepsi almost daily for about 2

years. I love cheese and chocolate. Alas, that is no more. No more

dairy, sugar, refined carbohydrates and very little fat. No more

pepsi and no more sandwiches, let alone sandwiches with cheese and

nice fatning dressings! I'm getting to know fruits and whole grains.

I am still suspiciously eyeing vegetables. I need to figure out what

to do with them. I mean, you don't just pick up a head of lettuce and

start chewing!

There are life threatening GB conditions. Inflammation should always

get immediate treatment.

If one is having chronic GB problems it is important to inform oneself

of how the GB works, symptoms, causes, cures...it doesn't have to mean

surgery or allopathic medicine.....sometimes it might mean avoiding

solid food for a few days....but please find out what are the causes

and remove them.

I hear you on the prescription grade painkiller...my first attack of

kidney stones required it...in order to continue to not pass out and

be conscious enough to continue to drink water to pass them.

Herbs followed and acupuncture took care of subsequent attack....I

cleaned up my act, after that.

Ask her if she'd consider just doing just an Herbal Consultation.

Tell her your situation and that you'd really like to be taking the

best herbal formula possible ....but a full charge would preclude

that. If that doesn't work ask if she has any other suggestions.

Your getting some really good suggestions from the list as well.

Good sign that your not having any more attacks. Do you ever have

any problems with nausea?

When you're home, I'd suggest juicing your own apples, if you're not

already. Also, juice beet and pear. You can add lemon to the beet

, if you like.

You can also use castor oil packs for pain...if any returns.

The directions for the pack is in the files.

Yes, please avoid surgery...we're pullin' for ya.

What to do with lettuce?! , you're cute!! Stick around, you'll

find out!

It's good that you're leaving your old ways behind...sometimes it

takes that 'wake up call'. You could start by taking small glasses

of vegetable juices.....not the lettuce. ;-) If you need to get used

to different tastes.

Suzi and others are always putting up good recipes.... raw food oriented.

The net contains a wealth of great recipes...one no longer needs a

recipe book!!

Start with your fave vegetable, google it and work from there.

Before you know it ....you'll be craving the good stuff.

I find the Cuisinart another good tool. But then I like gadgets!

Kit,

I might be able to work something out with my DOM. I've known her for

about 5 years. I haven't had too many problems with nausea. I have

tended to go straight to vomitting. I have kept everything down since I

changed my diet last week and have not been eating much. I have been

able to eat things like eggs, oatmeal, and Subway chicken breast

sandwiches without cheese (or mayo) without a problem. I'll have to get

my hospital report and copies of the ultrasound.

Kit,

I like carrot juice. I like Ceasar salad. I just need to find a much

healthier way to eat salads without cheese, meat, or as much fat. I

like vegetables on my Subway sandwiches... I am trying to figure out

where the sandwich is if you don't have meat or cheese.

It sounds like many people with gallbladder problems need to change

their diet when they get theirs out. I might as well change my diet

now and leave it in. In that regard, I am considering this a

blessing. I know how many years I have known better but not done

better for whatever reason. It is a hard introduction, though, when

you can't " slip " with favorite foods without those foods causing you

great pain. I eat something " safe " (and healthy) or I go hungry until

I figure out what " safe " thing I want.

I know she will help me feel better

Ah, but can she cure you? No, only your body can cure your body. No herb, mineral, pill, vitamin, whatever can cure you. Only fresh fruits and vegetables eaten in their natural state can give your body what it needs to cure itself.

Yummy, carrot juice!

You can add mixes...like parsley, beet, lemon, celery.

There are lots of alternative meat & cheese,'facsimiles' out there.

Suzi has put up some seed cheese recipes, then there's tofu... just

don't depend on it for a main protein source. If you freeze it ...it

gives it a more chewy texture. You can buy 'flavored' tofu at some

health food stores.

Any sort of fermented soy is good and safe to eat...tempeh, miso,

natto, soy sauce.

I put organic chicken on my salads and even sometimes will eat hard

cheese if it comes on the salad....I love ceasar salads as well.

Just treat them more like flavorings than your main calorie source.

Ever have a tomato and onion sandwich? Mmmmm. Or, Cucumber sandwich?

Yum. Once you get your diet under control an occasional

'treat' might be good for your psyche. You are in a transitional

period... remember change is not easy. But it will sure be worth it

to avoid this surgery.

Do you use google much?

I love checking out recipes. You can check out the files section,

here, under Food and Drink Recipes.

There's a whole new wide wonderful world out there...you'll love it...

welcome to it!!

Kit,

I love the vegies on my Subway sandwich! So far, I am only going there

for those " lost without you " (old eating habits) days where I am

probably going to starve before I figure what else to eat. Their

chicken breast sandwich hasn't caused problems, but I'm getting bored

and I know I need to rise above the last remnant of old eating habits.

Shari,

I have been reading health and nutrition books for years and believe

the body can heal if we just get out of its way. We have to stop doing

the things that promote disease and start providing the nutritional

support for healing. I know my DOM does not possess the external power

to heal me. She is very good about getting energies lined up and

blockages functioning again so that my body has the opportunity to do

its thing. So, I know she can help me feel better while my body heals.

I will take your stance on fruits and vegetables seriously. I have

stopped eating so much that was a part of my diet just a few weeks ago.

I'm doing okay with fruit, but there are some vegetables that I digest

more easily when they are juiced or lightly steamed. I need to learn

how to eat them and how to prepare more vegetables for myself and I

need to acquire an established taste for them.

I have heard that whole grains are good for gallbladders. In any case,

they are better than refined white flour, refined sugar, dairy, soda,

processed lunch meats and everything else I have given up. Learning new

eating habits is a process of learning what works, and how to prepare

it. Nutrition is a very individual things that changes on a daily basis

as we are living organisisms adjusting to our internal and external

environments.

Kit,

I am being introduced to tofu. So far, I don't like it. I am trying

it in frozen vegan meals as those at least were prepared by someone

who knows how to cook. I'm not planning on going vegan in the long

run. I like lean, white meats like chicken. I would also like to

eventually return to an occational sandwich or using cheese more like

a seasoning. My favorite pizza has a lot of vegetables on it.

Unfortunately, the crust is white flour and I'm not eating dairy at

all right now because I believe that is one of my trigger foods. My

long term goal is to find a healthy style of eating I can live with.

I may find I don't want the things I have enjoyed in the past, but I

want to believe that at some point I will have the option of an

occational weekend treat.

" Nutrition is a very individual things that changes on a daily basis

I like and agree with your viewpoints, ...I have faith that you

will do well in your endeavors towards healing.

You have already taken large strides.

I had to go to the emergency room several years ago

with gall problems. The doctors wanted me to undergo

emergency surgery taking out the gallbladder. I did

not believe that was the best option for me. My

midwife told me of a fast to try. I went on a four day

fast drinking applejuice and eating applesauce and

taking certain herbs and following the rest she had

told me, then on the third day the stones past through

my bowels. I also used enemas with great success

during the fast. The amount of stones that came out

was extremely alarming, very very scary.

Maybe something I have said will help you out. Corrine

- progress, not perfection. You're doing great cutting out all those nasty things.

Interesting that grains would be good for gall bladder. I'll dig up Doug Graham's book "Grain Damage" and see if it says anything about grains and gall bladder.

Tofu's not too exciting unless in the right recipe. Surpisingly, one

of the best ways was in BBQ in a BBQ cookoff, no less.....guess that

kinda competition really gets ya workin'. ;-) ...looking for

recipes,if that's your thing, it's the ole experimental cook, I used

to be....I still love lookin' even when not cookin'!!!

There are lots of foods I can't eat. And, occasionally I indulge know

ing that I will pay the next day....I have pain issues.

I've never been much of a pizza fan...except maybe chicken pesto pizza

.....when you're better, you can also 'sin' occasionally maybe with a

thin crust. You may even find that the way you feel afterwards will

make you want them less and less. Or, you might want to experiment at

some point and try making a living crust. I have a raw foods book

with a couple of different pizza crusts 'cooked' in the dehydrator.

(I lucked into a cabinet model at a swap meet).

Corrine,

That sounds like a good way to go....they suggest something similiar,

too, in " Prescription of Nutritional Healing " Balch and Balch....for

inflammation...I'm guessing that's why they called in an emergency....?

No solid foods for three days .... and only juices, homemade

applesauce ....occaasionally with beet and pear juice.

I've read coffee enemas....is that what you used?

Kit,

Thanks! : ) I feel uplifted by the positive intentions and wonderful

information provided by this group, and by you specifically. You have

all been very supportive in encouraging me to continue to seek out

more holistic alternatives. Perhaps I would do best to focus on

health and healing, and see this as an opportunity for change and

growth instead of focusing on having a sick gallbladder. It is only

one tiny organ, but man, can it cause a big pain when it isn't happy!

So sorry to hear about such unpleasantry and glad you feel better!

Do you know what you might have eaten inadvertantly to cause this to happen?

Previous emails note apple juice/applesauce flushes for healing. A

trustworthy

doctor once told me that eventually most people who suffer end up having the

gall bladder removed (sorry to say this). That is what happened to me after

20

years of coping w/ a touchy gall bladder. Note that in previous posts,

heart attacks

and pancreatitis have been linked to gall bladder problems; and maybe we can

find

out more about these.

And what is fundoplasty surgery???? Could this be linked to the incident?

Sue

=====================

I am looking forward to this discussion thread, as about 10 days ago I was

in the emergency room with extreme abdominal pain. I was on the kitchen

floor retching and writhing. I cannot throw up because of the fundoplasty

surgery about 3 years ago. Marilyn and I had been fighting, as people do,

and she had no mercy. I took myself to the ER, and they said that my gall

bladder was extremely swollen. Had a sonagram, which support it. No stones

to speak of, just granules, like sand. I did the flush two nights in a row.

The first night was misery. Severe nausea and increased diahrea. Second

night was fine. No negative results. And the pain is almost all gone. Still

tender, still visibly swolen. Most of you know my diet. Veggei. No dairy, no

eggs, no meats (aaargh!!!). No cooked foods. It has been suggested to have

the thing taken out, but I figure our Creator put it there for a reason, and

who am I to second guess Him???

Anyway, I am looking forward to a lively informative discussion!

Peace, love, laughter

Sorry to hear this....be careful with inflammation...treat it

immediately.

Castor oil packs for the pain. For inflammation, no solid foods, for 3

days. Juice apple, mostly, also beet and pear. Spring/distiled water.

After 3 days, homemade applesauce, shredded raw beets with 2 tbsps

olive oil & fresh lemon juice. I think most of the discussion

happened, . I bet it's still soon enough to do an archive search.

Later...liver and colon detox.

Can you afford supplements right now? MSM Glutathione for the liver.

If not start drinking some warm water in the am with 1/2 juiced lemon.

Don't get it on your teeth.

I use it in tea/decoction, and in capsules. Seldom by itself, though. Usually with other ingredients depending on what I am taking it for. Though in my "wilding" days, I used to smoke it.

I notice a lot of advice against oils for gallbaldder problems, which I understand. But the flush is with olive oil. Is olive oil okay during gallbladder attacks? Or is it only for the flush?

Loving this thread! Learning lots. Thanks all of you, and my heart goes out to all of you fellow sufferers!!!
