hi brea, my experience: when i started flushing in february i had pain on my left side and some one suggested that it might be the spleen. i found herbs that were good for the spleen and inflammation in general. for weeks i had pain on the left side, never trouble with my gallbladder(stones and inflamed) except heart burn. the pain would travel sometimes left high or low, or right low. i just realize now that i don't have it anymore, why i don't know. i have a problem with overeating so try hard to cut back, so far lost 10 lbs. still keep having trouble with heartburn but i use 1/4 tsp Epsom Salt in water and that works. i am now figuring out which foods my body likes. i am trying to follow Andreas Moritz bodytype system. i am not a precise follower of any system .i have my glass of red wine which i take to bed. i do drink enough water. i still take a lot of prescription drugs. and someday i hope my gallstone will be gone, i am not anxious about that. so based on my experience may be you should keep doing the liverflushes and the rest of cleaning. we can't predict how things work out, but you do have better chance by trying. good luck, johanna
