Because you had taken Black-Walnut , the Celery looking things could very well have been parasites. Anything like that is ALWAYS better out than in.

In regard to your white stones:

What are Gallstones composed of?

Most Gallstones and most stones formed inside bile ducts are mainly composed of cholesterol - "Cholesterol based" stones.

Cholesterol is a pearly-white, waxy substance. It is semi-solid.
Cholesterol can not be dissolved in water, but it can be easily dissolved in alcohol.

"Cholesterol based" doesn't mean 100% cholesterol.

All Gallstones contain variable amounts of bile pigments!
Some stones contain proteins!

As far as your irritation....just roll with it. It NEVER lasts more than a day or two and that's a small price to pay for such a great thing you have done for your body.

Even stone that contain 95% or 70% cholesterol is still "Cholesterol based"
Other 5% or 30% can be bile pigments & proteins.


No gallstone is 100% cholesterol.
There is no 100% clean substance in nature!

Stone may contain protein (mucoprotein), and those stones are usually very hard. Only protein stones and stones containing a lot of calcium carbonate are hard stones.
Be aware that hard stones are rather rare, less then one out of 100 stones is hard enough that it can't be crushed with fingers.
And, most of those "hard" stones are not calcified, instead, they contain a lot of protein that makes them very hard, just like our nails are very hard thanks to strong protein.

Why do many people think that gallstones are always calcified, hard stones?

Because, for hundreds of years it is those calcified, hard stones that were causing the most pain ... and these were the first people to choose gallbladder surgery.

As calcified stones tent to cause most discomfort and most pain, they are also the only stones easily detectable by X-ray.

During the last 60 years, X-ray and gallstones symptoms were the main way of diagnosing gallstones, while surgery was the main treatment.

As a result, majority of people who were referred to gallbladder surgery, have had calcified stones.

Those stones are also very clean and can be easily kept forever.

That is why word "gallstones" in many people and many doctors create an idea of hard calcified, stone ... while in reality, soft cholesterol stones are more frequent ... but are not causing as many symptoms ... and are also invisible on X-ray. Ultrasound may detect larger cholesterol stones... but Ultrasound is relatively new diagnostic method.
