I am assuming this was your 1st flush. If so, what has probably happened is the 135 stones you passed have caused other stones to move forward. There may also be a stone that needs to come out immediately. I would advise doing another flush if you do not feel better today. Remember, too, your body has received a shock and it needs to recover.

Remember, sometimes you have to feel worse to get better. But, in the long run, it's worth it!

Good luck and good health!

Hi Steve,

I have been in exactly your position after two of the early flushes of the eight I have done. I had one attack in the middle of the second day after a flush after eating a large salad sandwich with two large slices of rye bread and the other was at night, 24 hours after a flush, after eating a large salad with a small helping of wholemeal pasta. After doing lots of reading around, the conclusion I have come to is that I ate too much, too soon following these two flushes.

Apparently the gall bladder produces around 2 cups of bile in a day (I read that on this site). This is my theory as it applies to me (which may or may not be correct or helpful to you, but it works for me): if I have done a very effective flush and my gb has pushed out everything it's got then I've left myself with very little bile to deal with what I'm eating following a flush, the gb needs time to build up a supply again. So in order to avoid an attack I don't eat anything at least until lunchtime on the day following a flush, then I would strictly limit myself to soup (broth), juice, water and herbal tea until the next day. Then for at least another day I would strictly limit the quantity of food that I eat at any one time.

It may just be that your gb did not have time to produce enough bile to deal with the quantity of food that you were eating so soon after a flush.

My gallbladder has a mind of it's own. Sometimes I can go a day without eating any fat and have an attack. I think that eliminating fat altogether causes attacks somehow from my experience. Gallbladder flushes do sometimes make your gallbladder act up. I've had that after flushes to where it hurts for several days. Mine went away after I did a couple of flushes. Better than getting it surgically removed right?
Keep flushing!

I have done 4 flushes and have had the post flush attack two of the 4 times. I agree that it must have alot to do with the new stones moving forward and also the shock to the poor gallbladder. Even if I don't have a full blown attack, I always get these weird little pangs of pain on and off throughout the day after a cleanse. What works best for me is lots of water and low fat food. Its strange but I also seem to do better when I have atleast a little fat than fat free. Also, and this is totally experience based, certainly not scientific, but salad seems to throw me into an attack sometimes. It makes no sense to me and it doesn't happen all the time, but I have had stones for a long time and I have tried salad before when I thought it would be safe and instead it made things worse. I do well on things like baked potatoes, orange juice and soups with a few crackers or a small amount of cheese.
