Hello, I'm new to post. I've read the forums for reference on occasion though.

I had pain in my right shoulder, constipation. Sometimes Chanca Piedra helped, sometimes it didn't. I got an ultra sound on my GB and it showed nothing.

I did my first flush night before last using pretty much the protocol at : http://www.sensiblehealth.com/gallbladder.html

Though I added doing a castor oil pack while drinking some epsom.

Ok so the protocol is different there, and she doesn't say to fast from 2pm which I cannot do anyhow. I get the shakes if I don't eat.

I'm awaiting test results right now for cortisol levels as I have adrenal fatigue and finally found a doc that is willing to do saliva testing and treat it. I fear there is also thyroid issues. I have been to ill to work for five years now but have done home saliva testing and had low cortisol and way low blood pressure.

I only weigh 99 pounds and am just under 5'3.

I was scared to do a flush, but felt it necessary. I stopped eating at 7:30.

Did the epson at 8:30pm with the castor oil pack. Now I have tried to do Epsom Salts before and I get an instant migrane from them. This time was no exception. So I only had a few sips cuz I just couldn't stand the pain.

then I did the protocol mentioned in the above link:

"About an hour before bedtime, drink ¼-cup of extra virgin cold pressed olive oil mixed with ¼-cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice (from one lemon). Repeat this process every 15 minutes until a total of 1 cup each of olive oil and lemon juice is finished. An alternative to this procedure is to replace lemon juice with freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice. A ¼ to ½ cup of grapefruit juice can be used each time. A total of one to one and a half cups of grapefruit juice is required. It works well and tastes better than lemon juice.
Go to bed immediately and lie on your right side.
The next morning take 1 litre (approximately 4 cups) of warm distilled or filtered water containing two level teaspoons of un-iodized Sea Salt . Alternatively the addition of juice from half a lemon may be used in place of the Sea Salt ."

But I had to use apple juice instead of citrus because of allergies.

So it ends up being a WHOLE cup of oil - Yuck.

By the second glass I was thinking I should back out of this.

But I persisted laying on my right side after each one.

I finished and then the nausea came. That was hell.

All night tossing and turning, trying to stay on my right side is hard
cuz I'm a lay on your stomach kind of girl.

About six am I got up and did warm distilled water with the Sea Salt .

Went back to bed.

Woke up even more nauseated. I read about the coke thing and even though I don't drink it I grabbed a room temp one and had a few sips. After a burb I was able to stand for a bit (i have blood Sugar issues) and then started to eat a granny green apple.

Thats when I felt my insides ready to give way from below.

I didn't use a collander but saw the green things as perfectly described on here.

The nausea subsided as soon as that happened.

I probably cleared more than 50 but less than a hundred. All relatively small.

I didn't know what else to look for.

So yeah they came out, no I didn't have to completely starve, but I did fat free all day and only a little bit of foods to keep my blood Sugar up.

Epsom was useless for me unless I want my head to explode.

Are there alternatives to Epsom?

Also my knees really hurt the morning and day after, like never before.

I'm only 36 never had that before.

they cleared pretty much when I ate a proper meal in the evening and had some flax oil.

The bad thing is today, the second day after, I have a new patch of Psoriasis on my face that wasn't there before.

I do have psoriasis, but had none on my face at the moment but do now.

Is that because of the flush?

Any replies would be greatly appreciated. thank you. Shinnob
