So sorry to hear about your wife. I hope that doesn't happen to me. Yes, I tried the flushes several times and nothing happened. My Mom and Aunt are strong believers about not removing things from you body, although my mom has tried various flushes and has gotten no results. She just suffers through her gallbladder attachs. Digestive enzymes and lecithin help her alot. They helped me for awhile, but I kept getting worse and my gallbladder was starting to turn to gell and I was afraid it was going to affect my pancreas. Your wife should try the digestive enzymes and lecithin granules. They do help some.
