I am looking for help, first to explain why I would still have the stones my first ultrasound revealed 5 months ago, after doing 2 gallbladder flushes, and secondly, what should I do now?
I was scheduled to have surgery one month ago, when I decided to try the flush, after reading on-line how it works and that most people do it without any pain. I drank unfiltered organic apple juice for 4-7 days prior to the flush, then on the day of the flush a no-fat breakfast & lunch. At 6pm I drank 3/4 cup of apple juice with 1 Tbsp. of
Epsom Salts , repeated at 8pm. Then, at 10pm drank 3/4 cup of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice mixed with 1/2 cup of virgin olive oil. In the morning I repeated the
Epsom Salts , and passed stones. I've done 2 flushes, 2 weeks apart. I got more stones out the second time, and slept better (not wondering what was going to happen I suppose). In fact, I awoke 3 hours after going to bed and passed some stones.(second flush)
I got another ultrasound done today and saw the picture that looked exactly the same as the one taken 5 months ago. I was shocked! The amazing thing is that I've not suffered any pain since I began these flushes even when occasionally eating cheese and vinegar & oil on salads. I've been feeling so much better! My doctor will say of course, " I told you so". I am so disappointed. Why didn't those stones come out? Can I get them out? Has anyone gone for a repeat diagnostic test, only to find the stones still there? I am concerned that the pain may return. I don't want to go through that again, as I even ended up in the ER. Thank you so much for your help. God bless. Cupcake
