Gallstones

There are many symptoms of gallstones including:

• Sharp pain under the ribs on the right side


• Pain below breastbone that shoots into the right or left shoulder area


• Urine may be coffee or tea colored

Many people have passed their gallstones with the help of a gallbladder flush. However, most of the evidence has been antedotal and there have been few clinical studies on the benefits of a gallbladder flush. If you choose to do a gallbladder flush, be sure to do so under the supervision of a physician.

Directions for a Gallbladder Flush

On Monday through Saturday, be sure to drink as much natural apple juice as possible (go for organic if possible). You can continue to eat your normal diet and take your usual medication or supplements. On Saturday, eat a normal lunch at noon. By 3:00 P.M., dissolve 1 tablespoon of Epsom salts in 1/4 cup of warm water and drink it. This will have a laxative effect and will help to move the stones through your digestive system. Be forewarned, this will taste pretty bad so you may want to chase it with some orange or grapefruit juice.

Two hours later at 5:00 P.M. repeat the Emsom salts in water with an orange juice or grapefruit juice chaser.

At bedtime, drink 1/2 cup of warm extra virgin olive oil blended with 1/2 cup of lemon juice. Then, go to bed right away and lie on you rright side with your knees pulled up as close to your chest you can comfortably for a 1/2 an hour.

On Sunday morning, take 1 tablespoon of Epsom salts in 1/4 cup of warm water an hour before breakfast. If you do have gallstones, you are going to find some light to dark green stones in your bowel movement on Sunday morning. They will be oddly shaped and will vary from the shape of a small kiwi seed to a large cherry pit.

If you suffer from chronic gallbladder problems, it may be wise to repeat this process again in two weeks. This flush can be repeated every three to six months if you continue to form gallstones.

There are many natural doctors and holistic nutritionists that have excellent results in dealing with gallstones without drugs or surgery.

One of the first things recommended is to support, detoxify, and strengthen the liver.

Metabolic cleansing and other forms of detoxification can be a critical first step in the treatment of gallstones.

Identifying food sensitivities is also paramount as most patients with gallbladder disease have them and they need to be identified.

Triple strength Lecithin is an effective fat emulsifier that aids in the digestion of fats.

EB Digestives are a high potency digestive enzyme complex that aids in digestion if too little bile is secreted from the gallbladder. The added bromelain and papain also aid in inflammation and discomfort associated with gallstones.

Silymarin, or Milk Thistle Extract is a great idea for anyone with a liver or gallbladder problem as milk thistle helps the liver by cleansing toxins and helping to regenerate healthy new cells. Milk thistle also helps to keep things moving by encouraging the healthy production of bile which can help to break up gallstones.

Vitamin C has demonstrated to be effective in preventing the formation of gallstones. Vitamin C is required for the enzymatic conversion of cholesterol to bile salts. Studies also show that people with gallstones have low vitamin C levels. A therapeutic dose of vitamin C for those who are prone to gallstones is 1-3 grams or 1,000-3,000 milligrams a day.

The foods that are most likely to cause gallstones are meat or animal based foods. Some of the worst foods to eat if you frequently suffer from gallstones are beef, cheese, butter, cream, eggs, pork, and sugar. It is also wise to avoid processed foods and fast foods. While it may seem overwhelming when first looking at this list, you will feel much better if you can avoid these foods as often as possible.

• Eat a Low Fat Diet: Eating a low fat diet can help to prevent gallstones as well as reduce the inflammation and pain that is associated with gallstones. Remember that a low fat diet is important, but essential fatty acids are still needed such as fish or flax oils


• Eat a Low Sugar Diet: Numoerous studies indicate that those who eat a small amount of sweets are far less likely to develop gallstones.


• Cut Back On Coffee: It seems that coffee can trigger gallbladder attacks in people with weakened digestive systems or those with weak gallbladders. If you suffer from gallstones, cut back or eliminate your coffee intake and see if the symptoms gradually lessen, if they do continue your decrease in consumption of both regular and decaf coffee.


• Go Vegetarian: It has been shown that following a vegetarian diet can have a significant reduction in the incidence of gallbladder disease.

The typical medical treatment for gallstones consists of a drug injection that can dissolve the gallstones, oral meds which help dissolve stones, lithotripsy which can break up stones with sound waves, or surgical removal of the gallbladder in the most serious of cases.
