Gallbladder Flush for Gallstones

[sweet angel]

sa surgeon ba agad pupunta kapag me gallbladder o pede  gastro? internal medicine?

meron kasi ako pero di sya sumasakit, nakita lang sa ultrasound nung medical exam namin. nabanggit ko dun sa OB ko, sabi paoperahan 

[nainaj]

^ i suggest ipakita mo din sa gastro ang ultra sound for them to evaluate.according to them wala daw other options dun maliban sa surgery.

sweet angel, mas maganda kung maipa-evaluate mo sa gastro doctor. kung may budget ka, ipa-ct scan mo din tulad ng isang sis dito.

[ms.paige]

sis sweet angel, sa gastro muna wag sa surgeon. punta ka lang sa surgeon pag sinabi ng gastro na for operation ka. sa tingin ko ipapa-ultrasound ka ulit ng gastro this time naka concentrate na sa gallbladder, pancreas and liver. kung di kamo sumasakit, yan yung tinatawag nila na "silent stone" and pag ganyan hindi pa yan for operation. unless, sasakit na yan. i suggest uminom ka na ng 100% na apple juice and diet na sis. less fatty and salty food

Usually, for asymptomatic gallstones, surgery is not indicated. But consult is suggested for thorough physical exam.

thanks mga sis, paconsult ako ulit ako paguwi ko dyan sa pinas, last time kasi limited lang yung time ko kaya inuna ko yung OB, TTC kasi kami.  thanks again, sana nga di operahan, sana me iba pang paraan...yung savings ko kasi nakalaan na sa panganganak

My gastro said wala daw cure for gallbaldder stones except to undergo surgical removal.
What is your take on this?

Thanks

Aquacharly- I agree. Treatment of symptomatic gallbladder stones is surgery however for patient with asymptomatic gallbladder stone, watchful waiting is recommended and surgery is done only when symptoms occurs.

my mom does this gallstone flushing. she heard about it sa parsih priest namin whou gave her flushing instructions and the meds (yung parang tawas? d ko alam yung name e). pero before this, may opinions na rin cia from surgeons and they all say the same thing, due na for operation momy ko. buti na lang hindi pushy yung isang surgeon kase hubby cia ng pedia ng mga siblings ko. so before my mom underwent the flushing, meron ciang mga xrays, ultrasound, lahat ng tests na ginagwa sa western medicine. then ginawa nya yung binigay ng parish priest namin, nakita nya na my mga lumabas talaga, tapos ng pa ultrasound cia ulit, nabawasan na.

now, my mom is under supervision of a medical doctor specializing in alternative medicines, flushing method pa rin. okay nga yung doctor kase pati yung ibang problem sa system ng mom ko, nadedetect na rin, and of course, alternative medicine naman, so mejo out of the discussion na yung surgery..

share ko lang

^chinese ba yung doctor ng mommy mo? yun kasing tumitingin sa akin chinese. actually, hindi pa nga ako nakakabalik sa kanya simula noong last check up ko.

[Perky!]

^ no sis, not chinese. pinoy, around early 50's raw yung age. his clinic is in manila, lapit daw sa rob place. c momy every week bumabalik, kase meron pa cia IV shots for detox habang minomonitor yung flushing nya. mga 3 times na cia nakabalik..

^Hi everyone! newbie here.. My mom has gallstones also so I've been reading about alternative remedies for this too cause she wants to avoid having the operation.

Question lang po mga sis, if anybody here has heard / tried Gold Coin Grass, which is supposed to help in reducing the size of your gallstones first before you proceed with the flushing method; if effective ba talaga ito, and where we can buy this here if meron? Her biggest stone is 1.9cm and I'm just concern that this might get stuck sa bile duct niya if she tries to do the flush kaagad, kasi nabasa ko rin dito sa net na gallstone flushing is only recommended if the gallstone is less than 10mm in size.

Sana may makashare sa experience nila with this herb po. TIA! 

BTW, here's one of the articles na nabasa ko about GCG: http://www.sensiblehealth.com/Journey-03.xhtml

i consulted different surgeons and surgery din yung advise. kasi  symptomatic yung gallbladder stones ko. maliit yung stones pero yung yung mas malaki yung chance na bumara sa common bile duct compared sa malaki na stones. advise din nung surgeon ko na itreat na yung condition bago magplan uli ng pregnancy kasi mas delikado kapag nagkaroon ng gallstone attack and need to undergo surgery while pregnant. matagal din yung recovery in case na open surgery. kaya kung kaya ng laparoscopy, yun na lang ang gawin. kahit na mas mahal yung laparoscopy, mas konti yung gamot after surgery and faster recovery.

regarding sa gallbladder flush, meron ba nakapag try na din nito kahit na walang gallbladder stones condition?

[iamasinger]

^imo ko lang. wag na lang magtry ng mag-gallstone flushing kung wala namang stones. unang-una ang sama ng lasa nung iniinom na formula. as in nakakabaliktad ng sikmura kapag nalasahan nyo. tapos isama pa yung olive oil na iinumin mo din

[nainaj]

^^ sis, why flush kung wala naman ifflush?

yung "future MIL" ko underwent the laparoscopic treatment. though i've been hearing a lot na may tendency kasi na bumalik pa din. and upon checking mukhang nagrerecur yung stones nya ulit..sabi talaga surgery is the best way to get rid of the gallstones. imo.

[uberchic]

mag flush kahit na walang stones: para lang macompare kung yung lumalabas nga talaga during flushing is the gallbladder stones.

sis nainaj, yung sa sinasabi mong laparoscopic treatment ng "future MIL" mo, ano ginagawa dun? inaalis lang yung stones sa loob ng gallbladder pero iwan pa din yung gallbladder? kasi yung naexplain sa akin na laparoscopy, tanggal yung gallbladder mismo.

[nainaj]

^ hhmm if my memory serves me right (mejo matagal na din kasi yun eh) parang stones lang ang tinanggal and the gall bladder is still there.

may ininsert lang daw na "tube-like" kaya parang butas lang yun nasa tyan nya and hindi yung usual na hiwa for a surgery.

[iamasinger]

uberchic, kung lap-chole tinatanggal na talaga yung gallbladder. wala pang surgery na pwedeng magtanggal ng stones lang inside the gallbladder. tinanong ko na yan sa mga surgeons. as in wala silang alam na pwedeng magtunaw ng stones... surgery lang ang sagot nila.

[hiPPie_m0mmY]

wala pang pwede maktanggal ng gall bladder stones. kidney stones oo. I should know I had gall bladder stones and they took of the whole bladder
