Subject: [gallstones] Another attack, and cod liver oil



Guess I'm not bulletproof....


It's been over a month since I've had an attack, and tonight I just
had another one. I was feeling pretty confident you know - taking my
milk thistle, flaxseed oil, granulated lecithin each day. Two liver
cleanses under my belt. Eating whatever I wanted, usually throwing in
a few doses of fiber (psyllium husks) for good measure daily. Plenty
of water, and two 16 oz glasses of organic apple juice daily. I was
CURED.. right?


NOT!


Got that old familiar feeling again after dinner... I've been eating
pretty poorly this past week (the week before my monthly cycle I have
cravings.. the typical ones, sweets, chocolate, salty stuff, pizza).
I think my body decided to remind me that it's still healing. Guess
who's going to be a little more aware of her diet in the future...


Looks like I'll have plans this weekend (best make sure I still have
enough olive oil and epson salts in the cupboard. Gotta buy a
grapefruit too...)


I discovered through trial and error that two tablespoons of cod
liver oil taken during an attack will stop my attacks within 15-30
minutes (tonight it was within 5 minutes). Has anyone else
experienced this as well? I figure the dense oil gives the gall
bladder a big push...
