gallbladder questions

[momof2kids]

Ok, so I am having gallbladder pain and read online somewhere that a cleanse will help...

Will it??

Thanks for any help!!

No!

That calls for a Doctor's visit, you could be attempting to treat appendicitis or gall stones w/ a "cleanse".

I had gall bladder attacks for several years & made a couple of trips to the er. The best solution, get rid ot it! The surgery is very easy and even outpatient, much easier than a gall bladder attack.

thanks!!! I am scheduled for a ct scan next week & follow up with a general surgeon so I am on the right track, but saw that cleanse info online & wondered about it.

I do eat a lot of protien (chicken, fish, cheese), and use protien drinks to try to keep my weight in check, but may have to cut way back on those until this is taken care of...

I've had the "ache" off & on for about a year or so, it's getting more frequent lately so I thought I'd check it out.

Anyway - thanks again for the advice! I knew I'd be turned in the right direction here!

You did the right thing. Whenever somebody suggests a 'cleanse' to remedy something, ask what substance specifically needs to be removed. The silence will be deafening.

MO2K, have you lost weight recently? When my husband had his gallbladder attack (and removal) the Dr. told him that could contribute to gallbladder trouble. He had just lost 70 lbs. on weight watchers a few months earlier.

Don't know much about the "cleanse." I wish you well.

Mo2K, my hugs & prayers are with you. Hope you find out what you need from tests & everything is taken care of quickly.

I had mine gallbladder removed after losing 45 lbs. The surgery was very easy as I was back at work a week later. It took a second test to diagnosis my gallbladder, so do not be surprised if it does not show up on the first. I will be thinking of you, so let us know how things are going.

Thank you so much! I did lose about 50 pounds last year and I am still trying so I guess that's about when the pain started. Now that I'm getting healthier my body is rebelling! LOL!

I did sign up to the Seaside half marathon!! Woo-hoo! It's my first, and I'm "in training" for it so my body is really rebelling now. I am really looking forward to March 1st though - if you haven't signed up - it's open to sign up now!
