Hi Amanda

I don't know about anyone else, but the pain and symptoms you describe are pretty much the same as mine. I have not heard about many people vomiting, but for me it is a normal part of an attack.

Good luck

> Do other people (before flush) have right side pain daily?

> DO other people have nausea regularly with gallbladder problems?

> Do other people have increased pain when they do physical/manual labor? (My ENT says NO)


Amanda:
I believe your gallbladder pain is typical. I have the exact right side pain daily. I have nausea during a gallbladder attack and even sometimes just during digestion. Luckily I have not thrown up, but it sure feels like I will. Also, when I do my exercies, (treadmill) my pain does increase slightly. I am trying my fourth cleanse soon. Good luck with improving your health too. -Celia

My first flush was last July, 2001. I flushed 6 times (once a month)
between July, 2001 and Dec, 2001. So far I have flushed at least
4000-5000 stones, not counting those little ones that are made
from the olive oil you drink for the flush.
My last flush was over 4 months ago, and my side has hurt more
more with each passing day. I take a herbal/vitamin supplement
daily which helps a lot! However, I think I have more stones again.
I can feel them poking me when I move a certain way.
I will be flushing again this weekend.
I was wondering also if the continued pain is normal. If my pain
does not go away for good after this next flush I will go to the
doctor and see about the cause and removing the GB if necessary.
I am real tired of this pain. My pain does increase when I try to
exercise. It seems I can only assert myself physically for about
2-3 hours before the pain really gets back and I am just exhausted.

I really have no one to talk to about this stuff.
This site is the only place I am reading and learning how to avoid
surgery. Everyone I have talked to with gall bladder problems has had it removed. I am not going to do that. My first flush will be this weekend.

I also wanted to mention that I have left shoulder pain and wonder if this was common as well.

I am glad this community exists and am looking forward to feeling better. FYI - my tests showed no stones - my CCK (the Iodine test) was lower than normal. (25- Normal is 35 and above)
