I just hope this doesnt become anything more severe! Please just wish me luck and hope for the best.

I wouldn't worry about your colon. If the stones are small enough to pass through the billiary system, they aren't going to have any trouble in the colon.

I do hope that this works for you. I simply don't see any reason why it would based on my limited knowledge of A&P.

This is the biggest thing i am wondering/worried about. and why i am feeling a little skeptical. im sure its a great colon flush and that may be why people feel so much better after it? but if those stones where really as big as some people are proclaiming, there would be pain associated with them passing though the Billary sys. Thats some small tubing up in there.

At this point, for me, I just have an uncomfortable full feeling and lots of pressure around my gallbladder/liver area. Hard time digesting, burping a lot, nausea, minor pain like a burning kinda, night sweats and more. maybe a good colon cleanse will help? or worst off I will end up in the ER in surgery tomorrow.

Heck, at least one way or the other it will be taken care of in the next few days right?

My friend was able to put the surgery off for a year by adjusting his diet.

The standard care while you have gallstone attacks is to severely limit your fat intake, especially at any single sitting. Be careful, mama! I've known a few pg mamas who avoided further attacks & pushed surgery off til after giving birth by doing the low-fat diet.

I found this site that goes into each "fact/fiction" on this cleanse and has resource links to back it up. Well it may not be all "stones" coming out as many had once stated, it does cleanse and some can be extracted. So i am going to go and give it a try. please wish me luck!

Hope it works well for you!

I know my mom is big on this cleanse. She does it every once in awhile. She drinks a little water with lemon and cranberry every day the rest of the time.

FWIW, I recognize the name given in the link above. I know a couple people that have followed that ladies advice for different types of cancer.
