Depending on body condition, diet of each person and the original location of stone; composition, hardness, color and forms of stones of a person to another one vary. But some rules below could help to understand our stones:
The color of bile is green that dye the new stones with bright green color. Darker green stones are the older stones. Dark brown stones are very old.
New stones are bright green, soft and mostly cholesterol.
Floating stones contain mostly bad cholesterols while shrinking stones contain calcium and crystal of salt…
The liver is a largest organ in our body.
The liver is located horizontally from the left side to the right side of the body. The large bile tube from the right lobe of the liver discharges bile to the beginning of the small intestine (duodenum). A connection in between this large bile tube is connected to the Gall-bladder. Another connection of this bile tube is at the duodenum end of the tube that connects to the pancreas discharge tube.
The approximate locations of the liver, stomach, Gall-bladder, Large intestine, Spleen and the Duodenum of the Small intestine are shown in the sketch on the left. The pancreas is a long leaf form organ that is located below the stomach. The small intestine is about 20 feet (7 meters) long filling the space limited by the stomach, the pancreas and the large intestine. The 2 kidneys are located behind the stomach and the small intestine, along the sides of the lumbar section of the vertebral column.
The analysis below of my stones from my first 5 liver flushes may help people to understand the stones from their flushes:
Stones from my first flush are floating fragments of about the size of small green peas. They are semitransparent bright green, floating on the water and very soft. The bright green color of these soft stones indicates that these stones are fresh and are located in the flow stream of bile that is stained by the bile.
Stone from my second flush are floating, dark green and much more solid than the stones of the first flush. The typical form of these stones is hollow cylinder of about 7 mm diameter. Each broken cylinders are about 16 mm long. The dark green color and the hardiness of these stones indicate that these stones are older than the stones of the first flush. The hollow cylinder form of the stones indicates that they might be deposit on the wall of the large common bile duct between the liver and the duodenum of the intestine. The internal part of these hollow cylinders containing stones from the first flush that let bile flows through. Stones of the hollow cylinder form can not be seen in the attached picture because they are broken in 3 pieces while I was trying to remove them from the toilet bowl. We can suppose that the stones originally in the large bile tube between the liver and the duodenum are flushed away. New stones from the liver will be carried over by the bile stream to fill this location. The total length of these stones is about 12 cm.
Stones from my 3rd flush are floating, medium soft and small fragments of dark yellow color (no picture taken). The hardness of these stones indicates that they are on the bile stream of the bile tubes inside the liver. The color indicates that they are not stained green with the bile color because they are quite old.
A few days before my 4th flush, I felt a little hurting after eating a few spoons of olive oil with my salad and a fatty supper with fish. This hurting area is around the gall-bladder location that is of my right side below the last rib. I supposed that some stones are trying to going out with the bile.
During the night of flushing, I feel some pain in my liver. This pain is located just below my last rib and at about the middle right of my abdomen. By shaking the liver at this location with my fingers for about 10 seconds, the pain was gone away. Stone from my 4th flush are floating and more solid than the stones from my 2nd flush. The round/oval forms as per the attached picture and the pain in the middle of the flushing night let me think that these stones are from my liver and they plug the bile tubes. They are porous and some of them are bright yellow that lets me think that the bile flow around them is very fast that clean well of soft cholesterol.
A few day before my 5th flush, I felt a little hurting again in the area of my gall-bladder. This indicates to me that some stones are moving to my small intestine.
Some typical tones from my 5th flush are as per attached picture. They are floating, soft and some of them are very dark brown color. The form of these stones indicates that they must come from the large bile tube of my liver. The dark color tells me that they are there long time ago. The total length of the stones is about 15 cm.
After the 5th flush, I think that I already reaching almost the end the large pile tube of my liver. Some more flushes must be done to get rid of all stones.
The above sketch of internal organs is useful to give people an idea about their approximate locations. A pain somewhere in the abdomen could be anything. The location of a pain helps to identify our health problem. So, be specific when we try to explain our health problem.
