Well I was just wondering after reading your message how your flush went? Is everyone right in saying that it is not painful? How do you know if you have a stone trapped in the bile duct before you begin? I have had several severe attacks in the last couple of months and my surgery is scheduled in two weeks but I would really like to try it this way as long as there is no risks of dying while you are trying it. I read about not doing it unless you were under the supervision of a health specialist because of risks associated with the passing of the stones. Also the nurse said she thinks the olive oil would make it worse. Please help I am really scared and running out of time! Thanks Stacey
