Yes, I have gallstones in my gallbladder

Research says that 20 percent of Americans have gallstones. 60 to 80 percent of those won’t experience any symptoms. Only 1 to 2 percent may experience pain. That doesn’t change the fact that once you have these gallstones symptoms and pain, they can be goddamn excruciating.

The World Wide Web is a blessing for me. If it weren’t for the Web, I would have opted for a more scary surgical removal of the gallbladder. No matter how safe surgery is nowadays, you can never know. I believe God gave us gallbladders for a reason, and my gallbladder will stay in me for as long as I live.

I use this site to share stories, research, experiences, and any other information on gallstones symptoms. Hopefully people stumbling upon this site might find the information useful as well.

Another major gallstones flush — success

My gallstones symptoms — the mild ones, I’d like to call them — have totally vanished since I did my gallbladder flush. I knew that once I started having those nagging upper back and neck stiffness as well as those gasiness, that I needed to do a proper major gallstones cleansing, which I haven’t actually done in close to a year.

I love gallstones flushing, for the simple fact that I feel a thousand percent much better than I ever did before I have one.

For this latest cleanse, I took one lemon and freshly squeezed it, then mix it with the same amount of EVOO. That was three days ago. Then last night, I had another cleanse using the same amount of ingredients. I only had a mild discomfort during the first cleanse, but last night’s cleanse was a little difficult to handle — I could actually feel more discomfort than usual on the right side of my abdomen, and that discomfort lasted the whole night, though not painful enough to disturb my sleep. I still felt the discomfort this morning, but I knew that the discomfort only meant that the flush is working as it should. I was right.

I just pooped a few minutes ago, and it made me go “Wow!” My poop during my first cleanse showed nothing — no stone, not even the tiniest bit. But this time, the gallstones came out in all its glory. Lots of them. Thank God. I knew that my second cleanse was going to be effective, because despite of the discomfort, I woke up this morning feeling less tired and groggy like I would usually feel before the gallbladder flush.

I’m going to keep drinking lots of juices and cut down on my solids for a couple more days. My gallbladder must have been under a lot of strain from all those stones, so it’s a good idea to let it heal a bit before I resume my yummy diet.

Did I mention how much I love gallstone flushes?

Apple juice: answer to my gallbladder problem?

Symptoms of gallstones is never a pleasant experience. It can be downright annoyingly uncomfortable, or if you’re like me, killingly excruciating. Nevertheless, I have earlier resorted to addressing my gallbladder pains the natural way, instead of the usual way that our doctors may advise, which is to remove your gallbladder through surgery. And even then, they couldn’t 100% guarantee that the gallstones pain are totally eliminated.

I have since found out that there are four natural ingredients that are often used in gallstone flushes:-

  1. Lemon juice
  2. Apple juice
  3. Virgin olive oil (or in my case extra virgin olive oil a.k.a. EVOO)
  4. Epsom salt

I have only ever used the first three ingredients, as I’m still not sure of how useful Epsom salt truly is. If you’ve read my previous posts about gallbladder cleansing, I most often use the combination of lemon juice and EVOO, whenever I get those stabbing pain.

I have also been testing on another method that I think may have helped, not just in reducing my gallstones symptoms, but also preventing me from getting future gallbladder attacks.

And it seems to be amazingly effective.

For the past four months or so, I’ve been drinking a lot of bottled apple juice, at least 750ml of it a day. And it’s not the fresh kind, either, but just natural flavoured ones with the least amount of preservatives and additives used. I didn’t even have to watch my diet — I would eat all kinds of food like fried ones and chocolate-ty ones, which are major no-no’s when it comes to gallbladder diet.

And I’m feeling perfectly fine.

I do feel a little worried that I haven’t done my gallstone flushes as it’s been almost five months since my last one. I hate when those pain sneaks up on my when it’s the least convenient. However, I really don’t see a reason right now why I should be flushing my gallbladder when it feels perfectly well.

I really hope this continues, or at least I would only have to drink a small concoction of the gallstone flush.
