Re: DOES EVERYONE HAVE STONES IN THEM? -nothing came out

Hi August

Don't despair. I didn't have any stones my first OR my second flush. I wanted some stones! I got out lots of chaff and lots of foam the first two times, which barbqb told me might have been blocking the way, so I was glad to hear that. Then, my third flush, all of those sneaky little stones had nowhere to hide, and they came out en masse - must have been over 1,000 of them. They weren't teeny either - they were pea-sized...imagine over 1,000 peas fitting into your liver and your gallbladder! And since then every flush I've done (a total of 13) has produced tiny seed sized, pea sized, and even grape sized stones. One grape sized stone was even calcified - was that ever cool! It was like concrete on the outside, very hard and greyish and sandy. So don't give up, you'll find what works best for you. Not everyone gets stones out their first time.

And I agree with Mgirl - sometimes adding just that little bit more of OO (Olive-Oil) can make a world of difference. I use 3/4 cup now, and feel fine with it.
