Two weeks ago I did my 11th flush. Very successful with over a dozen nickel to quarter size green gall bladder cholesterol stones and many hundreds of much smaller brown liver stones . Unfortunately, the day after the flush, I was in alot of pain in the gall bladder area. Up until this point I had had mostly successful flushes with occasional pain after the flush. I resolved this by reflushing a week later and the pain went away. This time I tried reflushing and the 12th flush only yeilded a few tan colored liver stones , but no green gall bladder stones. The next day the pain was even worse. I tried taking a dose of Epsom Salts and trying to jar the stone loose with whatever means I could, no results. The Epsom Salts did ease the pain for several hours though.

The good news is that for the past week, I have had no jaundice or any sign of pancreatitis. And my stool is a nice brownish-green color and sinks like a rock. So evidently there is plenty of bile coming from the liver. And the common bile duct is not blocked.

So what to do now. I'm in constant pain, but am hesitant to flush again because this stone is relatively harmless stuck in the cystic duct. Whereas if I move this obviously large stone further down, it could block the common bile duct and cause some serious problems. My only solution is to take lots of lecithin. I also ordered the gold coin grass from Julia Chang, hoping that that might help soften the stone. Unfortunately, its still a few days away from me.

Any other ideas? I really, really don't want to have my gallbladder whacked after all the progress I've made over the past six months.
