thanks makiah!

curious to know how this flush went? was it painful?

Yes, I've been researching flushes and many are contradictory.

I did the liver/gb flush back in '96 and passed about 25 gallstones. Yes, it was successful, but you really need many flushes (ie: 10-12) for this to be effective. Some people have more than just a few dozen stones. For anyone with large stones, there is a risk of having a stone get caught in a duct. And you really *don't* want that. So the flush is not without risk. Make sure you have an ultrasound prior to trying this.

my surgeon told me that yes flushing gallstones will get rid of them but they usually come back and can still cause your gallbladder problems such as thickening of the gallbladder wall which i had as well as lots of big gallstones, i had my gallbladder removed on june 15th of this year, although i do have some problems after having it removed i dont have those nasty attacks anymore

I have been dealing with gallstones for about 16 months on and off...my doctor had me talk to a surgeon about getting my gallbladder removed. I have done a lot of reasearch and still have my gallbladder in. The attacks don't seem to be triggered by any type of certain foods but what I can tell you is herbals work really well I have been taking hydrangea 2 capsules 3 times a day with my meals, and gall bladder formula 2 capsules 3 times a day with my meals. I swear by them. I also have been drinking apple juice. I have found that if I start having a attack, drink a 8oz glass and with in 10 minutes the attack is done. I am planning on doing a flush in 2 months of being on the herbals..never done one before and im a little nervous but I do not want to get my gall bladder removed. I hope that this helps someone!

Plan on staying home for a couple days as the flush will make you have very loose stools. It can become dangerous if a stone gets stuck in a duct, but then the doctors at the hospital have to do something about it. I don't have insurance, and so unless it becomes an emergency for me, I was told I have to live with it. I did this cleanse on New Years day..just a couple days ago, and so far, things are going well. I am not having any gallbladder pain. My ducts are a bit sore, but that makes sense since several of my stones were as big around as my thumb.

Day 1: You can eat a normal breakfast and a small lunch. After lunch, don't eat anything except for the things below.
*You can drink and eat either grapefruit juice and grapefruits, or orange juice and oranges, DO NOT mix them. Make sure that it is pure juice with no sugar added and not from concentrate. (Simply Orange, or Simply Grapefruit are good brands to look for) Be sure not to add sugar to your oranges or the grapefruit.
*3pm: Mix 2 teaspoons of Epsom salt into 1 ounce of warm water and drink.
*5pm: Mix 2 teaspoons of Epsom salt into 1 ounce of warm water and drink.
*Bedtime: Mix 1/2 cup of olive oil with 1/2 cup of your choice of juice and drink. Immediately lie down on your right side with your right knee up to your chest for at least 30 minutes.
***If you have gallbladder pain, don't panic, you can massage from right to left to help the stones pass.
*Morning: Mix 2 teaspoons of Epsom salt into 1 ounce of warm water and drink.
*1 hour later, you can resume a normal diet. Try to stick to things like toast and chicken noodle soup for the rest of the day.
***Most stones are usually green and will float due to the oil concentration in your bowel movements.
IF AT ANY TIME you start to vomit uncontrollably and the pain becomes too much despite massage, go to the ER immediately as this most likely means that a stone has gotten stuck. They will have to do something to help you at this point.

Hmmm...wish I had known this 2 wks ago. I wonder if there are any flushes for kidney stones????
