But Barry, don't you think that the sandy stuff can be quite irritating on the delicate tissues inside? I know that when I have passed that amount of sandy stuff and I see it and think, "oh my word, no wonder my innards hurt so sorely". But you are right about the pain being different than a gallstone, I could imagine because I do believe I have passed them over the last 10 years and it feels like a knife so bad you lose your breath and then you wince and moan and soon after about 5 minutes it goes away.....oh I had that happen many times to me over the years and I bet it was from small stones moving out. Anyhow, I can't imagine having the kind of colic pain you describe from the one that laughs in your face, shame on it, anyhow, ROFLOL...your a nut! Have you tried accupressure?
Oh speaking of which, someone on the list before I went on digest a while back had mentioned ear flushing and wanted to know if it had to do with gallbladder....I found in my accupressure books that indeed that the two are related...I wish I had wrote myself a note where exactly I found it so I could post it to the list...I will keep my eyes peeled for it at best.
