Did you ever read this under cleanses at top of page
//www.curezone.org/cleanse/liver/gallstones_and_liver_flush.asp

I am one of the few people here (may the only one)who has not done surgery with a 2.8cm stone. Have been here more than 10 years on the forum. Did close to 100 flushes over many years.
Around 2008 stopped flushing and put bitters on my tongue with
every meal. Use some ES every day. A few times a year when my gallbladder acts up I use 1 tbs ES in warm water (and some stevia drops for taste), if I don't feel better in 20 minutes I take a 2nd tbs.

Thanks Hanna. After doing some research, it doesn't sound like this is what I have. Thank you for responding though. :)

Stress, I just found that out. For 3 days I felt sick and I thought may be it is time for surgery. Asked my neighbor for a good surgeon which her husband had used. We are not home for
the winter so I have no doctor here. My yoga teacher came over and she said the gallbladder problems are probably from stress. Things turned around in my life and now the problems
are gone.

Gastric Paresis can be attributed to an underlying cause such as Diabetes, Surgery, Parkinson, Collagen Vascular, Internal Psuedo Obstruction and some rare condition including semi obstruction of the intestines.

If there is no underlying cause and it happened out of the blue it is called Idiopathic. It is triggered by a Viral like gastroenteritis event, Gastroesophegal Reflux Disease (GERD), Non Ulcer Dyspepsia, or unknown. Once triggered it can cycle for a year or more and is countered by resting the digestive system by eating carefully.

As the Epsom Salts was unable to clear by the time you consumed the Olive oil I would tend towards thinking that you have an occlusion in the upper intestines that is preventing the transit of food. These can other be helped by lying on your side with your knees to chest. I favour this position after consuming the Epsom Salts and/or olive oil. Lying on your back would be the worst position if in fact you had an occlusion.

An occlusion is a non physical blockage cause by an anomaly of the bowel (tall and thin with a high navel), trapped nerve, loss of internal fat pads, interference around the ligaments, blood vessels and/or duodenum.

It is very complicated and a detailed understanding of the symptoms is critical in order to obtain a diagnosis.

You may want to look into food combining for health. I have included a link to a internet document that is a good balance read.

I have used it and recommended to others. All have derived some benefit from eating this way and some continue for the rest of their lives.

Thank you to all who have responded to my questions. It has been a long time since I was here. I had emergency gallbladder removal last Christmas 2013 and now have a 7.5" scar. The gastroenterologist told me that the first few days after a gallbladder attack is when the gallbladder is most swollen. This was when I had surgery. I am healing well, although it will take me until summer 2015 for the abdominal nerves to heal.

I'd like to do a cleanse but have thrown up the magnesium citrate again. It is just too nauseating for me. It isn't just that I throw up and feel better. I continue to feel nauseous for several hours. It will probably be better for me to cleanse my liver on an ongoing basis by taking herbal supplements.

Thanks again to everyone who shared their stories, information and resources. <3
