I had my gallbladder out 3 years ago, before I knew about alternatives. It is VERY important once you get it out to not eat any cooked fats. These fats pollute your liver and will cause more stress on your body. I think butter/ghee and coconut oil are fairly safe for cooking, but try to keep the majority of your fats raw (that includes nuts and nut butters). I like juicing stuff like carrots and beets everyday to help clean my liver too. Also, taking a bile salt supplement when you eat fat will help you digest and process fat, since your gallbladder usually does that job (and now it’s g ...

Yes. Mine didn’t go away though, until after I cleansed. I’d suggest juicing a lot everyday for a number of months, maybe doing some juice fasts if you can. Taking liver cleansing herbs will also help a lot. I’d bet your liver is pretty stressed with your gallbladder not working for so long, and now it has to do 2 full jobs!! Also, after you have your gallbladder removed you cannot eat cooked fats (including nut/seed butters, unless they say RAW on them), unless it’s butter or coconut oil. Otherwise you’ll put too much strain on your liver (according to my naturopath. After I have my ga ...

DO NOT HAVE SURGERY!!!! Go see a naturopathic doctor and get rid of your stones naturally. I wish I had. My naturopath recommends eating 6 radishes/day, she sas it helps to melt the stones. Hope that helps :)   [End]

Hey southerngurl, could you post the instructions for the liver cleanse you know of if it isn’t too bad? The problem is I’m still at school so I can’t take time off to be super-nauseated while I pass stones.. I’m already sick enough and struggling! I think I will tell my doctor to test me for IBS as suggested and gluten/lactose intolerance too. I don’t understand why I would suddenly develop food allergies after my gallbladder out, but carbs are a big trigger for me too - but then again, so are tomatoes and oils. Is it possible to develop food allergies from gallbladder removal? It seems u ...

Thank you for your replies!! I’m glad at least some people had information to share :) I don’t have many of the symptoms of IBS, I’ll ask my doctor, though - anything’s worth a shot right now. I am thinking it’s my liver, because I’m still getting pain, though this time on my RIGHT side between my ribs. I’m hoping to see a naturalpath who can guide me through the flushing. I did have stones in my gallbladder though (in response to a previous post) - I wans’t lied too. I was watching them do the ultrasound and I had quite a few. I’ve read liver stones don’t show on ultrasounds though? ...

That really wasn’t helpful - did you not understand my message? I can’t eat anyting without getting sick, it shouldn’t be that way. And I never said a thing about dieting - I was at a healthy weight before this all started. I don’t appreciate your assumptions. I’m sorry you’re just living with your problems, but I’m not going to, and quite frankly, mine are quite severe. I’ve already been to the ER AFTER my GB surgery because of the pain and have no quality of life whatsoever. I’m in constant pain and feel nauseated 24/7. I hope someone else can actually be useful.   [End]

I had surgery in last December to have my gallbladder removed after being rushed to the ER with severe pain around my ribcage. I’d been having these attacks for over six months and they were getting worse and more frequent - they lasted 10 hours by that time and occured 2-3 times a week. Finally one night at 3:00am and after 6 hours of pain I couldn’t take it anymore and begged my mom to take me to the hospital. When I had an ultrasound done, the doctors were surprised to see a lot of gallstones, since I’m only 17 and am very thin (5’4, 100 pounds) and I eat a healthy, lacto-ovo vegetarian ...
