Heartburn or gb pain?

Hi Shelley,

You have given me good advice before, so I hope you don't mind my asking another question.

After doing flushes about 12 times last year, and getting acupuncture, my symptoms seemed to be gone. I continued with dietary changes (more veggies, juice, no meat or dairy). This fall I started to get what seemed like gb pain again (under my right rib and radiating to the back under right shoulder blade).

But this pain starts as soon as I eat anything, even something with no fat in it, like a pear or piece of celery. It seems to move down my esophagus and then ends up as gb pain.

After not having done a Liver Flush since June, I did one again two nights ago. Heavy green sludge and dark green stones came out. My gb area felt better, but then the whole thing started up again once I ate a salad with Olive oil dressing.

I feel like I can't eat anything because this "heartburn" pain begins. I alternate between wanting to schedule gb surgery and wanting to continue to stick it out and find a natural way to deal with this.

I have an extra complication in that I'm pregnant, and probably need to eat things like eggs or meat, or at least some kind of protein and definitely good fats.

The heartburn is a burning sensation that moves down my esophagus and then sits around where the diaphragm is. I also have a chilled sensation that eventually subsides. My gb may be inflamed.

I know my conventional doctor will prescribe something like prevacid, and then even suggest I go for gb surgery.

I'm pretty desperate to get some help. I've been trying to find a naturopath to help me, but those I've spoken to are reluctant because I'm pregnant.

I live in Northern California, so I thought it would be easy enough to find a good practioner, but it's not so.

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

LB
