Re: When did your pain begin to lessen?
I remember that it was a difficult time for me around the 16th flush and I was ready to give up. I had some grinding low level pain for a long while up to flush 30ish but I don't now and I am not sure exactly when it went away.
My last post was very complicated and slightly controversial. I did not want the main message to be that it is normal to produce cholesterol stones although some specialists believe there are natural cycles that result in a thickening and thinning of bile. The post tries to describe what happens to large quantities of bile in the gut in some people. I have suggested that because it contains solid matter it forms a special type of stool. Therefore, some stones that are expelled are true stones and some are "congealed bile" and it is difficult to tell the difference.
The purpose of continuing to flush for me was to make sure I had obtained the maximum value from the flush protocol. I know that at flush 16 my gall bladder was still congested with sludge because I had an ultra sound and I think that on flush 17 this sludge was expelled from the gallbladder. Also I think that the final congestion in the liver didn't clear until just after the 34th flush because I felt it being push out of the bile duct.
All the time I was flushing the biliary system was getting stronger and stronger and finally the therapy did its magic.
It is very difficult to advise you except to say give the flush procedure every chance and keep the faith that it will work. If you quit now you will always have hat nagging doubt. If you continue you will get an answer one way or another, but it is better to know that not know.
