Hi all
this site has stopped me going crazy!
Seriously I am so worried I am having
panic attacks! I have been having g/b
problems since jan 2006. I work in the
theatre department and in work one day
after eating cauliflower cheese I was in
agony. Spoke to the gi doc who I was
working with and almost immediately he
whisked me down for a scan. During the
scan the sonography hung around my gall
bladder, she was talking to normally and
then asked me to turn onto my side. It
was then she found I had a polyp. :cry: I
was quite nervous and I think this showed
in my voice when we spoke. She swiftly
whisked the scanner over my splean,
kidneys and pancreas and confirm all
seemed normal (no enlargement).
4 weeks later I went for a hida scan which
was a painless procedure-just boring :?
1hr 40min had to lie still for!!! I was
so nervous my legs couldnt stop shaking.
Had the results today unofficially from my
consultants secretary saying my hida scan
was normal. But I know something is just
not right,
i have got a bit of wind both directions
:wink: and some pain around my ribs and
bowel ish(right side) I got a bad feeling
my g/b is inflammed and is agrivating
other parts of my anatomy.
I have been on a low fat diet which did
work----then pushed my luck and ate
lasagne and chips---woke up at 2 in the
morning being sick until everypart of the
meal was down the toilet(nothing had been
digested)
will mention though that my mum has had
h.Pylori.... Could this cause g/b
problems aswell?
Do polyps cause pain?
Will stress agrivate g/b?
And do oestrogen patches for menstrual
migraines have an effect?(also started
this in dec 05)
i just want my g/b out now-im fed up tired
ignorance is bliss when you work in
theatre (i even assist the doctors during
this g/b removal!!) but im too much of a
scardy cat to ask questions!! Just listen
to their conversation-- put 2 and 2
together and come up with 5. My mind is
working over time!
Please help
many thanx all.....
I wait for your replies

Gallbladder Cleanse Posted: 03-18-07 18:37pm
I was in desperate pain about 6 weeks ago.
I was diagnosed as having gallstones. I
found the website www.cleansingorsurgery.com
and went on the cleanse the way it
said except I did not do the salt flush.
On the fourth day just like they said I
passed bright green gallstones, about 30
and of a good size. Apparently it takes
more than one cleanse to get rid of them
all but it was a great relief to get rid
of the ones that were causing so much
pain
I wish i could do that cleanse, but from
what my dr saw there is just one goodsized
stone in there they looked by ultrasound,
he tried to jam the u.s wand into my ribs
lol to find the enterence to my
gallbladder to make sure it wasnt blocked
im not sure if they found anything else, i
am in germany at a german dr and he was
talking to the tech lady and pointing and
talking german. At the ER the dr on call
there had told me the wall of my
gallbladder was thick. I have never had a
hida scan done though. I go april 5th to
have my gallbladder removed, the 4th they
are doing an endoscopy to rule out stomach
ulcers as well, my dr told me a stomach
ulcer can mimic gallbladder pain. I also
found out i have a hernia around my bely
button that the dr will fix while he is in
there he told me. so yay. Hopefully I feel
lots better after the surgery, i usually
experience the pain once a week it usualy
lasts an hr but one time i have had it
last 5 hrs i was crying in pain i didnt
know what to do i have 2 kids under age 2
and my husband was in the field well he
still is, 2 days after he gets back i get
the surgery .

Why Not!! Posted: 03-27-07 06:30am
Hy there, Thanks for your reply. I felt
so much sympathy. I too have children but
mine are grown up. When I did the cleanse
my husband was away in Germany. I was
really glad that I could do it with him
not around.
I was in terrible pain and because I am a
Christian, I also believed that God would
somehow get me through this. I felt like
I was dying. We are taught to speak to
the problem, like Jesus said... speak to
the mountain and it will move. Then I
had a vision or a dream or something of
all these apples. At that time I was
vomiting everything that I put down and I
thought maybe it apples were something
that I could keep down. As it was I found
the website. www.cleansingorsurgery.com
. and it said to go on apple juice for
four days. Up to a gallon a day. It
softens the stones and makes them ready to
come out. I also rang them and they said
I would definitley pass the stones without
surgery. Some could be as big as a
thumbnail, and some of mine were almost as
wide. Anyway they become very waxy with
the apple juice and the lemon juice takes
the rough edges off them. They did not
hurt when the come out but I did vomit
when I passed them. It takes four days
and its over with.
The book I sent for said that the man who
was inspired about these cleanses had
another man come to him who had terrible
stomach ulcers. The doctors could not
cure him. He lived on goats milk and was
nearly dying. Stanley Burroughs got him
cured within ten days on the other
cleanse... the lemon one.
I am so glad I did the cleanse and that I
feel so well. The cleanse makes you feel
so clean and tones up your liver and
kidneys and if you have stones there they
come out too.
Please feel free to contact me if you want
advise if you go on the cleanse about the
ingredients. sh
irleyhowitt@yahoo.co.uk God bless

Have been having the same awful symptoms
as well with every test coming back
normal...
Ultrasound, Xray, CT, 2 HIDA, Endoscopy
and ERCP (NOT FUN) as well as the blood
work.
So they finally said take the damn thing
out...next thursday.
Scared to death but hope that its going to
be the end of all the pain.
Wish me luck and good luck to your mom.

tests are normal but still have awful pain Posted: 03-01-08 01:12am
Kiki,
I know it has been almost a year since
your surgery. How did your surgery go? Did
it take care of your pain? Would you do it
again?
I have had several attacks over many
years. This one has not subsided since it
began in Jan. I have had one surgeon say
that he could not help me surgically. He
said it was acid reflux and sent me back
to the gastro doctor. The gastro doctor
said it is NOT acid reflux. I go to see
another surgeon next week for a second
opinion. To get a total look at the whole
picture I'm also seeing my G.P.
