For me, bloated belly, having a highly acidic body chemistry, gas and indigestion resulting from poor digestion, and a plugged up colon all went hand in hand. What finally got rid of bloated belly was a combination of digestive enzyme capsules(including panceatin) with every meal, liver flushing, high water intake(at least 16-24 glasses of water a day), use of Oxypowder (to clean out my colon), greatly increased intake of vegetables and daily exercise. It took about 4 Liver Flushes and about 4 months on this regime before the bloating and associated gas, acid reflux, indigestion, heart burn, etc., began to clear up. Based on experience, ingesting more high alkaline foods(cucumbers, apricots, watermelon, stevia(as a sweetner), radishes, etc.,) combined with the Liver Flushing and digestive enzymes seemed to help push my body to healthier alkaline state. I also consume 2 Tablespoons of apple cidar vinegar in a glass of water two times a day. Despite the belief that apple cidar vinegar should not be consumed by highly acidic people, apple cidar vinegar produces a alkaline ash when it is burned. Since the oxidative process that food undergoes when it is digested is similiar to the process food undergoes when it is burned, the fact is that apple cidar vinegar produces a alkaline ash and will not make you more acidic. From what I understand, apple cidar vinegar is good for people who are too acidic as well as people who are too alkaline as it tends to create a balance either type to a healthier PH. Don't buy store bought apple cidar vinegar as this is distilled and void of all nutrients. Go to a health food store and purchase one that is raw, unpasturized, with the "mother."

Hope this information helps in your quest to deal with your problem.

In the main Gallstones is a symptom of a problem elsewhere; illness, drugs, poor diet, etc. An imbalance in the chemistry of the body causes the stones to form so if the origin of the problem isn't treated then stones will obviously continue to form. This is only too apparent when you consider that people without a gallbladder can continue to produce stones which populate the bile ducts.

One of the principles of the Liver Flush is to remove stones and restore the function of the biliary system (The liver and gallbladder). However without adopting life changes to maintain a healthy equilibrium there is the risk that stones can build up again and disable the biliary system.

There would appear to be a mechanism whereby the stones tend the form, particularly in women in response to changes in oestrogen levels, but with an appropriate way of living this can be minimised. A maintenance Liver Flush twice a year can help maintain a healthy and stone free liver and gallbladder.

I was diagnosed with a gb full of stones and started flushing. I have never had attacks any more.
In the beginning I used to flush every two weeks, then every month and now I only do it every three months.

If I flush too often I tend not to push any stones or very few. Your body will give you signs of when it is time to go back to the flushing road.

Just the way we have to go to the hairdresser every month or so, we have to take care of our liver/gb by giving it a good flush every now and then.

I am getting closer to the day when I will need to flush every six months or so, but I am already happy to flush every three months now.

I would not worry about how many flushes you may have to do, instead I would focus on its benefits and I feel good to still have my gb working.

Good luck
