Has anyone tried a gallbladder flush?

[Panajoe]

I'm considering the option of a gallbladder flush since experiencing some pains under my left ribcage. I've seen a physician, had an ultrasound but all clear. Any recipe's or testimonials?
Still waiting to here from you guys!

Thanks!

I had my gallbladder removed 2 years ago and found that I still had a pain iin my right side sometimes after eating. It was kind of like a cramp but more uncomfortable then anything else. I now do the liver cleanse and have flushed over 2000 "gallstones" from my liver. I did 10 flushes 2 weeks apart cost was less then $5.00 a cleanse and all the ingredients come from the grocery store. I got rid of the pain in my side, headaches and skin rash. I have loads more energy. It took me over 3 months after I got the recipe to try it but I finally did and am really glad I did. I am not sure if it will help ya'll but it did loads of stuff for me. I also did not due the parasite cleanse before doing the liver cleanse and I had no problem flushing the stones. I also tried drinking organic apple juice a few days prior to the cleanse. I did not fast but just drank 2 glasses a day for 3 days prior (must be room temperature) That also helps break down the "stones" in your liver. That worked well too as when I did the flush the stones were already crumbling. (and I really hate apple juice) I have noted a few web sites FYI. I would also recommend a colon cleanse for some of you. Might try it prior to the cleanse. You don't have to believe in everything noted on these web-sites but the liver cleanse does work.

I have done gall-bladder flushes.  They work.  Go on a NO-fat diet for 2-3 days.  Take 2 malic acid three times a day.  The third day, drink 1/4 to 1/3 cup of olive oil mixed with 7-up.  Your next bowel movement will be greasy, but full of gall-stones.  Mine looked like green English peas.  I did this twice but my pain didn't go away.  Had my gall-bladder removed at a university hospital.  The students came in the next morning and told me how nice my insides were.  They removed an innocent gall-bladder.  My real problem was ibuprofen on an empty stomach, and pouring coffee on top of the sores?  I would give anything to have my gall-bladder back.  I went to doctors for almost a year, and none of them mentioned coffee being an irritant.  I should have thought of it myself, but now it is too late.  I have severe diarrhea almost daily and am afraid to go anywhere.
KEEP YOUR GALLBLADDER!!!!!!!!

it has been about 7 years ago that I did a gallbladder flush.  It was quite a process, but it worked for me.  At the time, I was having quite a few "attacks."  I didn't really know what they were then someone I worked with said it sounded like what she had had and it was the gallbladder.  So I proceeded with this cleansing.  I don't remember the exact order or amounts, but what I do remember is that I had to drink organic apple juice, a gallon a day, eat light small meals while doing that.  At the end of the three days, (and this is the part I'm not real sure about order and amounts, so please don't do this as written)I had to drink a quart of warm salt water, lay on my right side for a while and then take some olive oil and lemon juice.  The next morning repeat the process only I remember I had to eat half of a grapefruit as well.  Let me tell you once I got done with all that, I was in the bathroom.  And it all came out.  I had the little green floating pellet-sized balls floating in the stool.  Matter of fact I took some into my doctor who was pushing for gallbladder surgery.  I told him I had one more thing to try before I consented.  He still didn't believe me, but he kept the samples.  I did feel better for quite a while after that.

Six years later, I had some severe abdominal pain and thought, it was my gallbladder flaring up again, but this was worse than it had ever been.  So I went to the doctor (a different one) and he put me in the hospital.  To make a long story short, I came close to the gall bladder surgery again, but it was too late (9pm) so they said they wanted to do one more test and then they would decide the next morning.  Good thing they did..it wasn't my gallbladder at all, as a matter of fact, that came out looking and operating healthy.  The problems was a fallopian tube that had gone bad or rotted.  So that made me curious as to what the attacks have been these last years.  And now I've been told that it's spastic colon or IBS.

So now I have a question, are they one in the same?  And if so, is it something that once you have it you always have it?  When I feel an attack coming on or I know I have not watched my diet close enough I take Zantac 75 and take 2 of them.  That usually helps within about 30-45 minutes.  And when it's gone - it's gone like I never had one.  I will usually take them for the next 3-4 days.  I have gone to the doctor for this 3 times and Zantac 75 is what she has recommended each time.  

But in answer to the original posting, yes, flushing can and does work, but get a good process.  I found one that is similar to the one I described by going to Google.com and typing in gallbladder cleansing or liver cleansing.  Be wise about what you choose and have a trusted professional in the field of holistic healing look at it first.  I have a friend who has been in the natural health field for over 20 years and she is the one who helped me with it.

Good luck with your healing and God bless you this day.

I have been diagnosed with sludge, also, and I am wondering what your doctor has advised for you? I had similar symptoms 2 years ago, and they couldn't find anything wrong with me, and I have just recently begun to have these symptoms again, so they did another ultrasound and told me I have sludge, and they are performing another procedure called a HIDA-scan, which I had before. Have you had this procedure, or has your doctor recommended removal of your gall bladder? In my opinion, if this is going to continue, I would really rather have my gall bladder removed than be sick like this all the time. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

FYI the gallbladder is on the right side and you would be having pain under the right rib cage that goes around to the back.

I have been diagnosed with gall bladder sludge and tried the flush yesterday. My concotion was one day of fasting, liquid consisting of water and organic apple juice only. I did have a small dinner, not much.  I drank 1 tablespoon disolved in water first then 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil mixed with juice of two lemons.  I drank it down all at once.  I had to bm's however I found nothing "floating" as described in the other posts. I kept waiting today for an explosion of sorts, but have not had another bm.

My personal opinion, don't waste your time. See your doctor or a gastro specialist. I am going back to my doctor on Wed. I also noticed, as of today, where I am experiencing the pain, I have a dark brown discoloration of my skin.  This is new. Does anyone have anything similar?
