Re: Hello Scared Mama

> Have you ever completed a liver flush?

Yes, a couple of years ago ago and it worked as far as passing soft green stones. If I passed hard stones I didn't see them. I was going to repeat it but became pregnant with our youngest child so never got around to it (The baby is now 10 months old).

The specialist surgeons *opinion* is that the stone I have currently is hard and he is adamant that it will *not* pass naturally and *must* be removed by surgery and I *must* have my gallblader out so this doesn't happen again.

They repeatedly made statements that have terrified me regarding dying. They have categorically stated that Liver Flushes do not work in my situation.

My blood tests are getting worse every day. I am now quite noticeably jaundiced and my liver functions tests are causing serious concern.

I would go ahead and do another flush except that they are telling me that all I am going to do is cause the stone to move which will cause a complete obstruction and the chance of death is much higher.

I am desperately trying to find info on stones in the common bile duct to reassure myself that I can so this sucessfully but can find nothing.
