Of course my doctor said there is no other way but I refuse to go into surgery, especially when I never had any pain or symptoms of gallstones, they just showed up on my ultrasound.

There's a herbal tincture called Chionanthus Virginica that dissolves gallstones.
The TCM cure is to expel them using a mix of olive oil, lemon juice and epsom salts taken before bedtime. You can find the protocol online if you look for it.
Most people have gallstones and don't even know it. if you're asymptomatic no problem. Unnecessary gallbladder surgeries are epidemic (so are routine hysterectomies).

Lithotripsy uses ultrasonic shock waves to break gallstones into small pieces which can be safely passed, but this method is not suitable for all cases. Cholesterol gallstones can sometimes be dissolved by oral ursodeoxycholic acid but it can take years to work.

If they are not causing you any grief you probably don't need to worry about it, but gallstones can lead to blockages which can be nasty – perhaps your doctor is worried about that.

Olive oil, lemon juice and epsom salts don't work – what comes out looks like gallstones but actually they are bile-stained "soaps" produced by partial saponification of the oil.

Chionanthus Virginica has been used for gallbladder inflammation, I doubt it will have any effect on gallstones. perhaps @thenoseknows would care to post some substantiating evidence for that claim.

might not work and there are some risks
surgery is usually the best way. you dont really need a gallbladder anyways
good luck

So like I said I was recently diagnosed with gallstones but my symptoms are normal but weird… when I get upset my gallbladder hurts. when I lift heavy things it hurts and when I haven't ate anything or have an empty stomach or gas my stomach hurts.. also it happens after I have a fatty meal but not til the next day it seems like… Are these weird symptoms also symptoms of gallstones in my gallbladder???

I've had a few people tell me that my mom might have gallstones instead of acid reflux. She's 45 years old and her symptoms are very bad stomach pain, back pain, feeling very hot for a while and then cold, sometimes even vomiting. how do i know what it is? I don't know what to do…we've been to many doctors! PLEASE HELP! I'm very worried about her!

It sounds more like she has a gallbladder problem than reflux. It can sometimes be very hard to determine if it is the gallbladder causing the problem, and since the treatment for it is surgery, doctors like to be certain before they remove it. unfortunately, sometimes that takes a long time, and even then they finally operate just because they have ruled everything else out. You can have a bad gallbladder with or without gall stones. Gall stones are deposits of cholesterol or calcium that harden in your gallbladder creating the pain. other symptoms are a feeling you got slugged right in the center of your abdomen just under the breast, and a feeling of tightness around your body like your bra is too tight. Talk to family & friends to find a doctor that's highly recommended and report all symptoms and all tests other doctors have done. she could try changing her diet to see if it makes a difference so that would be additional information for the new doctor. Avoid all spicy food, fried food, rich foods, mayo, salad dressing. keep the diet lean and simple and see if it makes a difference.
Don't give up. It took me 2 years and a 3 day stay in the hospital before I was diagnosed. good luck.

There are 2 types of gallstones, those composed of cholesterol and those composed of bilirubin and calcium salts that are found in bile. she needs to have an ultrasound done to have a look at her gallbladder. Go to back to one of the drs and tell them to do one. The pain from gallbladder disease sounds about what you described. When I had my one and only attack, it built up like gas and was with me for several hours. and some people have vomiting and nausea. I never had the vomiting, but was nauseous for several days. if it is her gall bladder, it can be removed in a pretty simple outpatient surgery. she might want to cut out foods with a lot of fat in it for awhile too. Hope you find out what is wrong soon.

Its little calcium deposits that build up in the gallbladder and cause a lot of problems. Fortunately you can live fine without your gallbladder so they can remove it if necessary.

Gallstones aren't a life-threatening matter and why you're mother should have to go from one doctor to another is a mystery to me. Hasn't she been diagnosed by now? It's not difficult to distinguish between the two conditions with the right screening.

Your mother may be experiencing symptoms of biliary colic. This occurs when one or more gallstones become lodged in the common bile duct or the cystic duct. I'll need to explain more.

The liver produces bile, a substance the body uses to break down fats for further digestion, similar to the way in which liquid dish detergent breaks up grease on dishes. The liver also secretes bile acid and lecithin into the bile which give it that detergent-like quality. in addition to acids and lecithin, the liver secretes cholesterol into bile as a way of ridding the body of excess cholesterol. The liver Bile is stored in the gallbladder and is released through the cystic and common bile ducts into the small intestine after a meal with fats is eaten. most digestion takes place in the small intestine. The problem happens when the liver secretes more cholesterol than bile acids and lecithin can dissolve. The undissolved cholesterol sticks together and forms solid masses called gallstones. usually these remain in the gallbladder and cause no symptoms and no problems and can go undiagnosed for years. another way gallstones form is when the gallbladder stops emptying itself as quickly as it used to. Bile sits in it longer and gallstones are more likely to form. When gallstones move outside the gallbladder they cause problems. They can get stuck in one or both the ducts and when they do, the painful and problematic condition is called biliary colic.

Acid reflux, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, is an entirely different matter. At the end of the esophagus there is a ring of muscle, the cardiac sphincter. We have sphincters in other parts of the body as well. The job of the cardiac sphincter is to keep stomach contents inside the stomach where they belong. but sometimes the ring of muscle is weak or it spasms and allows stomach contents, along with stomach acid, to back up the esophagus. The word "flux" is Latin for flow. So reflux means reflow. Acid reflux is not normally associated with stomach pain. Instead the burning pain is in the esophagus but can feel like chest pain because the esophagus runs through the midchest.

If your mother has a digestive disorder, a gastroenterologist can easily diagnose her. I suggest she arrange for a consult. if she has HMO insurance, she can request a referral from her primary care doctor.

The only thing that puzzles me is why she's "been to many doctors". Choleycystitis isn't a mystery disease. is there something you've failed to mention???

i suffer from gallstones, i have all the symptoms and are about to go to the doctor tomorrow,
does anyone have home remedies to get rid of "flush" the stones? and do these "recipes"really work?
any answers would be appreciated.

Sometimes these natural methods work. and, chiropractic work is valuable, so as to guarantee all systems are "up and running.

Yes, these recipes do work! my husband and I both have done it successfully! Don't let them take your gallbladder. Flush it out and you will be fine!

I have been having health problems for about 6 years and they cant find out what is wrong with me. I get pains in my arms, back , shoulders, chest, stomach and pains under and round my right side of my ribs. These pains at times last days and go away or last hrs and go away and its difficult to get good sleep.

i also had pains in my back, on the right hand side. but it was mainly sore in my tummy, in the middle,

very painful, i would become a different person when i had these pains. thankfully i had my gallbladder removed last year and since then, no problems!

you have to be careful if your pain is lasting days as you might have an obstruction. see your GP asap

I went to the doctor recently for a check-up. She took my blood and a few days later she told me that it was a bit irregular, and that it's possible I might have gallstones. I've been having stomach pains for the past few days but I don't know if it's symptoms of gallstones or just my period about to come. if it were to be gallstones, what would be the symptoms?? I'm really scared if it is, I've never had surgery in my life

stone cause left tummy pain very low almost at the bladder. if also usually will give you frequent urination. cloudy urine and somtimes even blood in the urine. you may have gallstone but often they arent an issue if left alone untill they start to become painful. when they grow to a large size and press on teh nerves inside of the gallbladder it will be so painful you most likley will throw up from pain. if that isnt the case and thares no blood in teh urine or cloudy urine and you arent peeing every five mins. then even if you do have them they arent a big issue yet. its always a good idea to have them removed to prevent problems but its not super urgent if you arent having these kinds of symptoms.

Gallstones you would have so much pain that you would think you were having a heart attack.
In fact until they rule it out that is what most doctors think you are having, stomach pains mean you could have an infection or coming down with something like the flu;blood work with high white count confirms it.
Had a friend with gallstone attack her incision was like about an inch long

Hi Taylor.

The majority of people with gallstones have no signs or symptoms and are unaware of their gallstones. (The gallstones are "silent.") their gallstones often are found as a result of tests (for example, ultrasound or X-ray examination of the abdomen) performed while evaluating medical conditions other than gallstones. Symptoms can appear later in life, however, after many years without symptoms. Thus, over a period of five years, approximately 10% of people with silent gallstones will develop symptoms. Once symptoms develop, they are likely to continue and often will worsen.

Gallstones are blamed for many symptoms they do not cause. among the symptoms gallstones do not cause are:

• dyspepsia (including abdominal bloating and discomfort after eating),
• intolerance to fatty foods,
• belching, and
• flatulence (passing gas or farting).

When signs and symptoms of gallstones occur, they virtually always occur because the gallstones obstruct the bile ducts.

The most common symptom of gallstones is biliary colic. Biliary colic is a very specific type of pain, occurring as the primary or only symptom in 80% of people with gallstones who develop symptoms. Biliary colic occurs when the extrahepatic ducts-cystic, hepatic or common bile-are suddenly blocked by a gallstone. (Slowly-progressing obstruction, as from a tumor, does not cause biliary colic.) behind the obstruction, fluid accumulates and distends the ducts and gallbladder. in the case of hepatic or common bile duct obstruction, this is due to continued secretion of bile by the liver. in the case of cystic duct obstruction, the wall of the gallbladder secretes fluid into the gallbladder. It is the distention of the ducts or gallbladder that causes biliary colic.

Characteristically, biliary colic comes on suddenly or builds rapidly to a peak over a few minutes.

• It is a constant pain, it does not come and go, though it may vary in intensity while it is present.
• It lasts for 15 minutes to 4-5 hours. if the pain lasts more than 4-5 hours, it means that a complication – usually cholecystitis – has developed.
• The pain usually is severe, but movement does not make the pain worse. in fact, patients experiencing biliary colic often walk about or writhe (twist the body in different positions) in bed trying to find a comfortable position.
• Biliary colic often is accompanied by nausea.
• Most commonly, biliary colic is felt in the middle of the upper abdomen just below the sternum.
• The second most common location for pain is the right upper abdomen just below the margin of the ribs.
• Occasionally, the pain also may be felt in the back at the lower tip of the scapula on the right side.
• on rare occasions, the pain may be felt beneath the sternum and be mistaken for angina or a heart attack.
• An episode of biliary colic subsides gradually once the gallstone shifts within the duct so that it is no longer obstructing.

Biliary colic is a recurring symptom. Once the first episode occurs, there are likely to be other episodes. Also, there is a pattern of recurrence for each individual, that is, for some individuals the episodes tend to remain frequent while for others they tend to remain infrequent. The majority of people who develop biliary colic do not go on to develop cholecystitis or other complications.

Take Care. regards.

Symptoms of Gallbladder Stone

Cholelithiasis also known is Gallbladder. Gallstones are concretions that form in the biliary tract, usually in the gallbladder. Gallstones are formed within the gallbladder, an organ that stores bile excreted from the liver. Further complications of gallbladder disease include gallstone pancreatitis, gallstone ileus, biliary cirrhosis, and gallbladder cancer. Gallbladder disease is one of the leading causes of problems with digestion that result in hospital admissions. Did you know that around 10% of the population (on average) in most Western countries has gallstones? Most of these are “silent” but about 4% of patients with stones develop symptoms each year.

A gallbladder can develop gallstones, polyps or even cancer.if you are having a gallbladder attack it can be caused when the the gallbladder becomes too thick and the gallbladder blocks the passing of bile. Gallstones can be caused by too much cholesterol in your diet or the hormone estrogen. Diet plays a big role because you find gastric cancer very common in Japan, also in part of Africa where most people consume fast food chicken that is injected to mature in a month. However a report shows that the most fatal one globally is lung cancer.

There are several kinds of radishes in the world. In North America, we often think of the Cherry Belle variety that is red on the outside and white in the inside and is about an inch in diameter; but, there are many other kinds: the Daikon (originally from Japan), the Black Radish (excellent for your gallbladder), and the Red King, to name a few. if you are having gallbladder attack symptoms, you may not even know it. this is because the mild or moderate pain in the upper abdominal area on the right side can also be biliary problems. Other common symptoms of an attack include constipation, diarrhea, gas, nausea, belching, bitter fluid repeating after eating, trouble with inhaling deeply and vomiting.

The treatment of gallbladder problems is generally a simple thing. There are only a couple of things that can be done. if the pain is not that severe and if gallbladder attacks occur only infrequently, then an over the counter pain killing medication will suffice. if you have any gallbladder symptoms, you should take a close look at what you eat everyday. for example, cholesterol is the prime culprit in gallbladder disease. Although a very small amount of cholesterol is necessary for good health, your liver naturally produces all the cholesterol you will ever need.

Some population will not feel any gallstones symptoms while others may have mild ache up to a great deal of pain. these periods of ache or pain may last from 30 minutes up to many hours.

The gallstones symptoms may be experienced individually or you may feel more than one in a singular episode or “gallstone attack” as they are sometimes referred to.

Some of these symptoms are:

* a mild stomach pain often just below the rib cage or in the pit of your stomach. This pain may come and go but often happens after a meal that is high in fat has been eaten.

* if you have gallstones that block a bile duct, you may feel nausea or vomiting..

* Your skin or eyes may be jaundiced (yellow tinted) if the bile duct blocks.

* a back pain commonly in the middle of the shoulder blades is felt by some people.

* Some population may feel a pain under the right shoulder if they have gallstones.

* a beyond doubt bad gallbladder “attack” might leave some feeling a chest pain similar to a heart attack.

* Some gallstone sufferers have clay colored stools.

* a fever or chills might be experienced in some cases.

If you feel the gallstones symptoms such as a fever, jaundice or persistent pain, you need to consult your curative expert as soon as possible. Serious damage or worse may effect if you have gallstones that resulted in a blockage and subsequent “attack”.

Extended blockage of bile ducts may effect in damage to the gallbladder, liver or pancreas. Permanent health damage or even the loss of life is potential when blockages aren’t addressed in a timely manner. Pain and fevers are your body’s warning systems that something isn’t right. Any time you feel either of these and don’t know the cause, you should seek guidance from your curative professional.

Stomach pains, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, back pain in the middle of the should blades or under the right shoulder, chest pains similar to a heart attack, clay colored stools or fevers are all gallstones symptoms you should pay attention to and act on immediately.

Gallstones Symptoms Can Hurt

People who have tried solving the gallbladder problem by using the liver and gallbladder flush, claim that this method is effective and leaves no side effects. Many people are actually afraid of gallbladder surgery, so they decide to use the flush method. Let us see what this really is.

The Liver and Gallbladder Flush

According to some sources, the liver and gallbladder flush is good for several reasons. first, some believe that colon cancer is possible after gallbladder surgery. No need to explain how frightened a patient can be after reading something like this, so everyone will try to avoid gallbladder surgery. therefore, gallbladder flush comes as a better option.

Second, some people are afraid of gallbladder surgery side effects. we don’t know how reasonable this fear really is, because not all patients have side effects after the surgery. the liver and gallbladder flush is considered more natural, so people tend to think that it will leave no side effects.

We could read about benefits of gallbladder flush. Purifying the blood was one of these benefits. However, we don’t know if this is 100 % true.

Regeneration of the body is another benefit of this method, but again, how can we take this to be true? this can be quite individual. Flush removes the waste and toxins from the body, but is this so simple? According to what many people say – it is simple. we can’t just take their word on this, since gallbladder and liver are very important organs. Whatever you decide to do, you must never do it on your own. your doctor must examine your liver and your gallbladder and tell you what to do.

People who had liver and gallbladder flush had to follow some instructions, like avoid solid foods for at least two days. Natural juices made of apple and cinnamon is recommended for such patients. You should talk to a professional about what you can consume after liver and gallbladder flush.

After these two days, there will be some adjustments. Patients are advised to warm up the right side of the ribs.

Now, we will not express any attitude about this method. However, our duty is to tell you the following: never decide about your health without your doctor’s knowledge. Keep in mind that gallbladder surgery is sometimes the only solution to the problem. In some cases, this surgery prevented serious complications and it just had to be done. of course, people don’t like surgeries and they would do anything to avoid this kind of intervention, but sometimes, this is the only option.

You must visit your doctor and ask for his professional opinion on your gallbladder problem and ways to solve it.

Some common gallbladder problems include:

* Gallstones (cholelithiasis). This is the name of the issue when small stones, or sometimes bigger ones, develop inside the gall bladder. Gallstones could cause pain known as biliary colic (see below), but about 90 percent of people with gallstones could have no signs. most symptomatic gallstones have been present for quite a few years. for unknown reasons, if you have gallstones in excess of 10 years, they may be less likely to cause symptoms. * Biliary colic. This can be a term generally used for the actual severe installments of pain that could be caused by gallstone congestion of the cystic duct. your gallbladder agreements vigorously resistant to the blockage, causing spasmodic (or occasionally constant) severe pain. Biliary colic episodes usually last just an hour or two. they might recur sometimes, often many years apart. * Painful gallbladder (cholecystitis). Infection of the gall bladder can be a result of gallstones, extreme alcohol make use of, infections, and even tumors that induce bile buildup. Though the most common reason for cholecystitis is gall stones. the body can easily react to your gallstone irritation through causing the gall bladder walls for being swollen and painful. the instances of inflammation may last for several hours, or perhaps a few days. a fever is not uncommon. About 20 % of the time, the sluggish, inflamed gallbladder is invaded by simply intestinal germs, and becomes infected. From time to time, the gallbladder actually ruptures, which is a medical emergency. Diagnosed episodes of cholecystitis usually require medical help, particularly if temperature is present. * Dysfunctional gall bladder or persistent gallbladder condition. Here, the particular gallbladder can become rigid and also scarred via gallstones and also repeated installments of inflammation. Signs and symptoms are more regular, but tend to become vague, which include abdominal fullness, indigestion, as well as increased gas. Chronic looseness of the bowels is a common symptom, usually happening after food, and up to be able to 10 times daily.

Symptoms of Gallbladder Problems

Certain symptoms can vary greatly based on what type of gallbladder problem you have, although a few symptoms are common among the different types of gallbladder problems. but most gall bladder symptoms begin with pain inside the upper abdominal area, either in the upper right or center.

Below are typical symptoms of gall bladder conditions:

* Severe abdominal soreness * Pain that will extend underneath the right shoulder blade as well as to the back * Soreness that exacerbates after eating lunch, particularly oily or fried foods * Soreness that seems dull, well-defined, or crampy * Pain that raises when you inhale deeply * Heart problems * Heartburn symptoms, indigestion, along with excessive fuel * a feeling of fullness in the belly * Throwing up, nausea, nausea * Shaking together with chills * Tenderness inside the abdomen, particularly the right higher quadrant * Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and also eyes) * Barstools of an unusual color (usually lighter, similar to clay)
