I just finished my second flush, and I'm having some questions about what actually constitutes a stone. My first flush was around eight months ago. I remember that only one or two trips to the bathroom had me seeing any kind of blobs at all. They were green, small, and easily mushed in toilet paper. I chalked this up to them not being true stones. I didn't have anything like a colander, but I tried to see if anything sank, and was unsuccessful. I don't believe there were any calcified ones.

This time around, because of the not so great success of the last one, I was drinking a lot of apples juice, plus taking Stonebreaker herbs three times a day. Now I have actually been going all day, despite me not taking the very last Epsom Salt dose. I have seen green and yellow blobs that float. And recently have started even seeing tan colored ones. All of these float, and I haven't seen anything sink.The tan ones also are easily mushed which made sense since they were floating. I know there has been some debate on here about what is a true gallstone or not, but am I to understand that these are actual stones? Did they used to be hard, and possibly the stonebreaker help to crumble them or make them softer? I know I am seeing more of these than I did the last time, but I'm just not sure if these are true stones.
