Hello.
can any of you help me out here? I am very tired and discouraged right now. I have justbeen diagnosed with gallstones, they're small, I had an ultrasound. My Ast, alt were about 250 and 350, my ggt is about 188. I cancelled my appointment to meet the surgeon today after my husband got me searching on the web; now I've got all these flush ideas. But when I phoned the owner of a recommended health food store; upon hearing my high levels, he was very concerned for me, concerned that I could pose pain and danger to myself by blocking a bile duct in the liver; and to only act under the 'close' supervision of my doctor.
What have your experiences been, including your liver levels? Please give me your thoughts on this. Thanks.

This is a reply to # 579,781Hi. No jaundice, but yes clay colored stools; but I think that
they 'were' and now they aren't so much. But, I am not constipated either; they're soft stools. This has been all discovered through my painful 30 min or so attacks of pain. Now, I'm eating light as a feather; I mean almost no fat at all, while nursing my baby; hoping I can keep up my milk supply. I have made an appointment with a naturopath for tomorrow and having my labs sent there.
Do you know, is there any hope that a blocked one can become unblocked by itself? I was having some chills on sat and sun night, but not any longer. No fever. I visited doctors offices yesterday; cancelled my 'meet the surgeon' appointment that was scheduled today.

This is a reply to # 579,768I was able to bring my liver enzyme levels down to normal from AST 120, ALT 140. I did five flushes over the course of three months. I did the flushes and some other alternative things to avoid getting a liver biopsy which they said was the next step. No way was I doing that!
I did not have any symptoms as the elevated levels were found in a routine blood test. I was not diagnosed as having gall stones.
It's comforting to know that there are so many others on this site who have done the flushes and are always ready to support and help. Best wishes and blessings to you whatever you decide.- Re: NEW here, afraid of clog; SUSIE

This is a reply to # 579,768Something doesn't sound quite right to me. I had an enormous amount of stones and my AST was 16 and ALT 19 with tan stools, definitely not clay. It sounds like you might have more going on than just small stones. It looks like hardly any bile is being discharged.
I hate to say it, but I kind of doubt your diagnosis. Hopefully it's just a big stone blocking a duct or something, but I wonder...I guess you don't want a HIDA scan with radioactive dye if you're nursing (or anytime, ha!). Some kind of scan, maybe, though.
Two quick questions:
1. Did you have an alkaline phosphatase test? If so, what were your results?
2. What is your lab's reference range for GGT?

This is a reply to # 579,798Greetings.
My brother has the alpha-one anti trypsin deficiency, really bad liver enzyme levels. I'm a carrier. He wasn't supposed to live (they've been saying that most of his life.) He's 37. Would what I have now told you; change what you suggest above? And, are you the "Spirit" from Oslo, a health consultant?

This is a reply to # 579,798HI.
Okay, well I went to the naturopath today. I AM SO GLAD I HAVEN'T HAD MY GALLBLADDER REMOVED!! He said that my spleen is enlarged per the ultrasound, and he also felt that it was. There is no enlargement of my gallbladder or liver. My throat hurt recently. He is having my blood tested for the epstein barr virus. To get rid of the gallstones; which are small, we will use herbs to slowly dissolve them.- Re: I WENT TO THE NATUROPATH AND HE ... #163633

This is a reply to # 579,817I had a friend with the same problem as you and they took her gallbladder out to no avail. She STILL had pain!!!
A nurse friend asked her if she was given a Mono test and she said she had alot of blood work done. When she contacted her doctor's office, they told her that they HADN'T done a mono test.
I would think with an enlarged spleen, you could possibly be looking at mono. It doesn't necessarily have to make you tired. But it can make you VERY sick.
