Gallstone remedy

Hello,

I believe I am suffering from gallstones (atleast I fit the symptom profile), and was wondering if there is anyone here who has tried the olive oil flush or gallbladder-specialized supplement pills with any success (or failures) ... or if there is any other method that has been tried and worked for anyone here. Thanks!

- Ben

I can't help you other than to say try every thing if you don't get critically ill, rather than have your gall bladder taken out. The reason I say this is my daughter had gall stones and not knowing any better, we had her gall bladder taken out. That was when she was 16 years old. She is 21 now and has constant stomach problems. She probably has irritable bowel syndrome. Part of her problem is that without a gall bladder, it is necessary to be absolutely regular in your eating habits. Never over indulge in anything. She does not eat a regular 3 meals per day, probably 6 smaller meals per day would be even better. She doesn't do this so she will have serious stomach problems all of her life.

I agree wholeheartedly with Ben!

I, too, wanted to save my GB but the stone was too large and calcified. There are some chiropractors who specialize in adjustments in conjunction with the flush to help pass the stones. This is especially successful if the stones are small.

I have had nothing but problems since having my GB removed in 93'. Within 3 months of having my GB removed I developed 2 different chronic immune disorders. Contrary to what some MD's might have you believe, we need "all" of our organs. If at all possible, I would do everything to try to save it. Without an organ an imbalance is created in your inner operating system, which has far-reaching effects, not only physically, but in other ways as well. In Chinese medicine, each organ is also related to a particular emotion. The GB is that which processes anger. Without the GB, it is as if anger has no place to go or no way to be adequately processed.

Do as much research as you can before making your decision.

Best,

Peregrine

Re: Gallstone remedy

I too had mine out and wish I had researched alternatives better!! They will swear up and down that there's no side-effects....B.S.!!! Everyone I know has had problems with digestion, horrible gas pains and diarrhea. It's not every time you eat, but it makes ya think before eating somewhere else!! LOL Where's the closest bathroom and do I really want to do that in public!! LOL
I've heard of a gallbladder cleanse but have no idea where to find it. Keep lookin', but it you're getting worse, take care of it. Good luck.

Re: Gallstone remedy

wow, i'm really sorry some of you have had such problems after having your gallbladder removed. i had mine out two years ago and have no pain, diarhhea, or any digestive problems to speak of at all since. i'm glad i had mine removed as i had literally several hundred stones and one of them could have blocked the bile duct pretty easily (= big problems), but i understand your reluctance to recommend the surgery when you've had such negative experiences. i hope you find something that works well for you, njben.
