Gallstones!!! Any natural remedies tried?

[EMPRESS PAULA]

Hi
Been in pain alot recently and just had the ultra sound and discovered it is gallstones, read up on it alot but i wondered if anyone had any tried and proven natural remedies?? Is it worth trying the 7 day diet of eating low fat/hi fibre and 5 apples a day then on the 7th drinking 1/2 cup of olive oil? Anyone heard of that? Apparnatly they should come out next day!

Hi I have gallstones as well but thank God I don`t get the pain that often. They are like little hard peas my daughter had hers removed a few years ago . I don`t think the olive oil will remove the just give you the runs . To be honest I don`t think you can pass them its kidney stones you can pass but they are very painful when you pass them .
I hope this will help . Good luck and take care .

Hi, I had gallstones in my twenties. I asked to keep the largest one - I still have it in a jar - it is the size of a birds egg - no way that beauty was getting out of my bile ducts. I can't see any natural remedies working as gallstones are really really hard. If the smaller ones get out of yr GB they can get trapped causing immense pain and jaundice. If you are getting the pains a lot yr only hope is an op. They can be caused by losing a lot of weight quickly (don't know why). If yr GB is infected you will need anitbiotics as an infected Gallbladder cannot be removed without the risk of it collapsing. This is what I was told b4 I had my GB removed anyway. The pain is indescribable and really feel for you. Hope you get it removed quickly.

Hi - I had gallstones and my gall bladder removed 21 years ago. I was told and stuck to rigidly, a completely fat free diet - its fat that seems to activate the pain. Its boring but it works. You dont pass gallstones - they have to be surgically dealt with. Good luck
