Be prepared for your doctor to recommend all kinds of tests but find there is nothing wrong! Your symptoms sound very familiar. I started flushing after 18 months of feeling really ill (dizziness, pain, tightness in the upper abdomen etc)and being told there was nothing wrong that I was imagining it all. I have just completed my 11th flush. In this time I have flushed out stones, 'gunk' and it's been quite a journey. I feel a different person but still find I can't eat large meals any more. It may be that the Atkins diet with the accompanying weight loss has shifted the stones congesting your liver and this is what is causing your symptoms. After seeing the doctor start flushing and read everything on this site - all the experiences and outcomes are documented here. When you feel ready you will get all the support you need from the people here who have taken the path before you. Good luck!
